FAQs
What does it mean to have factory-certified roofing crews?
Factory-certified crews have been trained, tested, and approved by the shingle or membrane manufacturer to install that specific brand’s products. Certification usually requires ongoing education, proof of proper insurance, a history of quality workmanship, and periodic inspections by the manufacturer. For you, this means your roof in Dunlap will be installed to exact factory specifications, you qualify for enhanced material and labor warranties that non-certified contractors cannot offer, and any warranty claims are backed directly by the manufacturer as well as our local company.
How do I know if my Dunlap home needs a full roof replacement instead of repairs?
A roof replacement is recommended when repairs would only delay the inevitable failure of a worn-out system. Common signs include: shingles that are curling, missing, blistered, or losing large amounts of granules; widespread leaks or water stains in multiple rooms; sagging roof decking; daylight visible in the attic; and roofs that are 20–25 years old or more. During your free on-site inspection, our factory-certified estimator will document problem areas with photos, measure ventilation levels, check attic insulation, and provide a written report explaining whether repairs or full replacement is the most cost-effective route.
What roofing materials do you offer for replacements, and which is best for Dunlap’s climate?
We install architectural asphalt shingles, designer impact-resistant shingles, standing-seam metal, and energy-efficient flat roofing membranes. Most Dunlap homeowners choose architectural asphalt because it balances cost, curb appeal, and a 30-50-year lifespan. Impact-resistant shingles are ideal if hail is a concern, while metal roofs offer exceptional longevity (50+ years) and energy savings thanks to their reflective coatings. During your consultation we’ll review color blends, wind-rating requirements for Peoria County, and HOA guidelines to help you choose the optimal material.
How long will a roof replacement take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A typical single-family home in Dunlap takes 1–2 days for complete tear-off, decking repairs, underlayment, shingle or metal panel installation, and a thorough magnetic nail sweep. Larger or more complex roofs may take up to 3–4 days. We deliver materials the afternoon before we start, protect landscaping with tarps, and use catch-all netting to minimize debris. You can remain in your home during the project; expect normal construction noise between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., but utilities and driveway access are maintained whenever possible.
Are there financing or insurance options available for roof replacements in Dunlap?
Yes. We partner with regional lenders to offer low-interest financing, same-as-cash plans for 12–18 months, and extended terms up to 120 months. If your roof was damaged by wind or hail, we provide full insurance claim assistance: documenting damage, meeting with the adjuster, and invoicing your carrier directly. We accept all major insurers servicing the 61525 ZIP code and will explain deductible responsibilities up front so there are no surprises.
What warranties are included with a factory-certified roof replacement?
Because we hold the manufacturer’s top-tier certification, you receive a 50-year non-prorated material warranty and up to 25 years of factory-backed workmanship coverage, transferable once if you sell your Dunlap home. In addition, our company adds a 10-year leak-free guarantee that covers any workmanship issues we control, including flashing and ventilation components. All warranty documents are registered with the manufacturer after final inspection, and you’ll receive digital and hard-copy certificates for your records.
