FAQs
What sets your leak-free performance roofing system apart from a standard installation?
Our “roofing done right” approach combines premium, manufacturer-certified materials with a strict, 42-point installation checklist that eliminates the common weak spots where leaks start. Every seam is ice-&-water-shielded, all penetrations receive custom-fitted flashing, and attic ventilation is balanced to prevent moisture build-up from the inside. In short, we don’t just replace shingles—we engineer a complete, weather-tight assembly designed for Lynchburg’s heavy summer downpours, high winds, and occasional winter ice.
Which roofing materials do you recommend for homes in the Lynchburg, VA area?
For most residential projects we recommend Class 4 impact-rated architectural shingles or stone-coated steel panels. Both stand up well to Lynchburg’s hail, wind gusts up to 130 mph, and UV exposure. If you want maximum energy efficiency, we also offer standing-seam metal roofs in Cool Roof colors that reflect solar heat and qualify for some utility rebates. During your consultation we’ll compare life-cycle cost, curb appeal, and warranty options so you can choose the best fit for your budget and performance goals.
How long does a typical roof replacement take from contract signing to final inspection?
An average 2,000-square-foot Lynchburg home takes 1–2 days for tear-off and installation, plus another day for our QA inspection and gutter/ground cleanup. Lead times vary seasonally, but once materials are delivered we schedule the crew within 1–2 weeks. Commercial or specialty metal projects can run 3–7 days, but we’ll give you a precise timeline in writing before work begins and update you daily if weather delays occur.
What warranties or guarantees do you provide on your leak-free roofing systems?
You receive two layers of protection: 1) a transferable 50-year manufacturer’s warranty covering material defects, and 2) our own 10-year, no-leak workmanship guarantee. If a leak occurs due to our installation within that decade, we return within 24 hours to repair it at no cost—including interior drywall or insulation damage caused by the leak.
How will you protect my landscaping, siding, and interior during the project?
Before the first shingle is lifted, we install lawn-safe ground tarps and plywood shields over shrubs. Magnetic rollers collect nails daily, and dump trailers—not dumpsters—keep debris off your driveway. Inside, we cover attic insulation to catch granules and use negative-pressure fans to pull dust outside. When we leave, you’ll hardly know we were there—except for the watertight roof overhead.
What maintenance steps should I follow to keep my new roof leak-free for decades?
1) Schedule a free annual inspection with us each spring or after a major storm. 2) Keep gutters clear so water doesn’t back up under shingles. 3) Trim tree limbs to maintain at least a 6-foot clearance and prevent abrasion. 4) Avoid pressure-washing; instead use a gentle roof-cleaning solution if algae appears. 5) Watch attic humidity—moisture from bathrooms or kitchens should vent outside, not into the attic. Following these simple steps protects your warranty and maximizes the roof’s life span.
