FAQs
What roofing services do your certified specialists provide in Newport?
Our team offers a complete range of residential and commercial roofing services in Newport, including roof inspections, leak detection, storm-damage assessments, shingle and tile repairs, full roof replacements, new-construction roofing, skylight and ventilation installation, gutter systems, and ongoing maintenance programs. Because every project is overseen by a certified roofing specialist, you receive expert workmanship that meets or exceeds local building codes and manufacturer specifications.
Are you fully licensed, insured, and certified to work on roofs in Newport?
Yes. We hold a valid Rhode Island Contractors Registration & Licensing Board (CRLB) license, carry $2 million in general liability insurance, and maintain workers’ compensation coverage for every crew member. Our installers are trained and certified by leading manufacturers such as GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, which allows us to offer enhanced system warranties and ensures your roof is installed according to the highest industry standards.
How can I tell whether my roof needs repair or a full replacement?
Signs you may only need repairs include a few missing shingles, minor flashing damage, or an isolated leak. A full replacement is usually recommended when the roof is over 20 years old, shows widespread curling or cracked shingles, has multiple active leaks, or exhibits structural sagging. During a free on-site inspection, our certified specialist will document the roof’s condition, explain the underlying causes of any problems, and provide a side-by-side cost-benefit comparison of repair versus replacement so you can make an informed decision.
What roofing materials perform best in Newport’s coastal climate?
Newport’s salty air, high winds, and freeze-thaw cycles demand durable, corrosion-resistant roofing systems. We typically recommend: • Architectural asphalt shingles with algae-resistant granules and high wind ratings up to 130 mph. • Standing-seam aluminum or Galvalume metal roofing, which resists salt spray and can last 50+ years. • Synthetic slate or cedar-style composites that offer the historic look many Newport homeowners prefer while providing Class A fire ratings and superior impact resistance. Our specialists evaluate your home’s style, budget, and exposure to the elements before suggesting the most suitable material.
How long does a typical roof installation or repair take?
For most single-family homes, minor repairs can be completed within the same day, while a full roof replacement typically requires 1-3 days, weather permitting. Larger or more complex projects—such as historic restorations in Newport’s preservation districts—may take longer due to specialized materials or permitting requirements. We provide a detailed project timeline before work begins and keep you updated at every stage.
Do you offer warranties and ongoing maintenance plans?
Absolutely. Because we are factory-certified with leading manufacturers, we can provide extended non-prorated warranties of up to 50 years on materials and 25 years on workmanship, far exceeding standard coverage. After installation, you can enroll in our annual maintenance program, which includes a spring and fall inspection, gutter cleaning, minor sealant touch-ups, and priority scheduling for any future repairs—helping to preserve your warranty and extend the life of your roof.
