FAQs
What is a “no-pressure” roof inspection and how does it work?
A no-pressure inspection is a complimentary, obligation-free evaluation of your roof’s condition. One of our certified New Market roofing specialists schedules a time that’s convenient for you, arrives on site, and conducts a full exterior and, when accessible, attic inspection. We document everything with photos, infrared scanning (when needed), and a written checklist that covers shingles, flashing, ventilation, decking, and insulation. When we’re done, we show you the findings, explain any issues in plain language, and email you a detailed report. You’ll never get a same-day sales pitch or hard sell—just honest information you can use to decide whether to repair, replace, or simply maintain your roof.
How do I know if my New Market home needs a full roof replacement or just repairs?
Several factors help determine the right solution. We look at the roof’s age (most asphalt roofs last 20–25 years), the amount of granule loss, curling or missing shingles, soft decking, water stains in the attic, and the cost-effectiveness of repeated spot repairs. Minor, localized damage from wind or a fallen limb can often be repaired. Widespread shingle failure, persistent leaks, or structural issues usually warrant replacement to prevent escalating interior damage. After our inspection, we give you side-by-side estimates—one for repair, one for replacement—so you can weigh long-term value and budget before making a decision.
What roofing materials do you offer for replacements in the New Market area?
We install a full lineup of residential roofing systems that perform well in Maryland’s freeze-thaw cycles and summer heat: • Architectural asphalt shingles (most popular and cost-effective) • Premium designer and impact-rated shingles • Standing-seam or rib-panel metal roofs with Kynar finishes • Synthetic slate and shake for historic appeal without heavy weight • Flat-roof membranes (TPO or modified bitumen) for low-slope sections. All systems meet New Market building codes, include proper ventilation upgrades, and come with manufacturer warranties of 30 years to lifetime, plus our 10-year workmanship guarantee.
How long does a typical roof replacement take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
For the average 2,000–3,000 sq ft home in New Market, tear-off and installation usually take one to two days. We pull permits in advance, deliver materials the day before, and protect landscaping with tarps and catch-all netting. Crews start around 7:30 a.m., pause for local noise ordinances when necessary, and perform a magnetic nail sweep and debris removal each evening. You can stay in the house during the job—utilities remain on—and most homeowners report only moderate daytime noise. Weather delays are possible, but we monitor forecasts and keep you updated so there are no surprises.
Will I need to be home during the inspection or replacement process?
We do like at least one homeowner present for the inspection walk-through so we can show you findings in real time and answer questions. If that’s not possible, we’ll email the report and set up a video call. For the actual replacement, you do not need to be onsite; many clients work or run errands as usual. We secure the property at day’s end, and our project manager is available by phone or text throughout the job to keep you informed.
Do you help with insurance claims and financing for roof replacement projects?
Yes. If your roof has storm damage, we’ll document evidence, meet with the adjuster, and provide the scope of work required by most carriers. Our staff understands insurance terminology and will handle supplemental paperwork to ensure you receive everything your policy covers. For out-of-pocket costs, we offer several financing options—zero-interest plans up to 12 months and low-APR terms up to 120 months—so you can choose a payment schedule that fits your budget without delaying needed protection for your home.
