FAQs
What exactly is included in your “airtight” roof-replacement warranty?
Our airtight warranty is a two-part protection package. First, you receive the full 50-year manufacturer’s warranty on the shingles or panels we install, which covers material defects for as long as you own your home (and is transferable once). Second, we back the installation with a 10-year, no-leak workmanship guarantee. If a leak occurs due to our labor within that period, we will repair it at no cost—parts, labor, and any interior damage caused by the leak are covered. Annual roof checkups are also included so small issues are caught before they become big problems.
How long does a typical roof replacement take in Philadelphia?
Most Philadelphia rowhomes and modest single-family homes can be stripped, inspected, and reroofed in one to two days. Larger or more complex roofs—those with multiple valleys, dormers, or flat-to-pitched transitions—can take three to four days. We schedule material delivery, dumpster placement, and L&I inspections in advance so there are no delays, and we continuously monitor the weather to avoid mid-job rainouts. You’ll receive a detailed timeline before work begins and daily updates while we’re on site.
Which roofing materials do you offer for replacements?
We install the full range of roofing systems commonly seen in the Philadelphia area: 1) Architectural asphalt shingles and luxury designer shingles for pitched roofs; 2) Standing-seam and corrugated metal for long-life, energy-efficient performance; 3) TPO and PVC single-ply membranes for commercial and residential flat roofs; 4) Self-adhered and torch-applied modified bitumen for traditional flat roofs; 5) Synthetic slate or composite shake if you want the classic look without the weight and maintenance. We’ll present side-by-side cost, lifespan, and warranty comparisons so you can choose the best fit for your budget and style.
How do I know if I need a full replacement instead of just repairs?
A full replacement is usually recommended when: • The roof is 20–25 years old (or 15–18 for flat roofs). • You see widespread shingle curling, missing tabs, or granule loss. • There are multiple active leaks or water stains in different rooms. • The roof deck is sagging or soft in several areas. • Previous repair costs are starting to add up to more than 30 % of a new roof. We provide a free, no-pressure inspection that includes attic moisture readings, infrared scanning for hidden leaks, and photos of every deficiency so you can make an informed decision.
Do you handle all permits and code requirements for Philadelphia roof work?
Yes. We pull the required Philadelphia Department of Licenses & Inspections (L&I) roofing permit under our PA Home Improvement Contractor license and schedule any mandated inspections. Our crews follow International Residential Code (IRC) and Philadelphia-specific ordinances for sheathing thickness, fastener spacing, fire-rated materials, and safety rails. You never have to stand in line at the permit office—we handle it from start to final sign-off.
Can you help with financing or insurance claims for my new roof?
Absolutely. We offer several financing options, including 0 % interest for 12 months and low-payment terms up to 120 months, all processed in minutes with no home equity required. If your roof was damaged by wind, hail, or falling debris, we’ll document the loss, meet with your insurance adjuster, and handle the paperwork to maximize your claim. In most cases you’ll only pay your deductible, and the airtight warranty still applies to the insurance-funded replacement.
