General Roofing Questions

  • How long does a typical roof last in Middle Georgia?

    Most asphalt shingle roofs in Middle Georgia last 15-25 years, depending on the quality of materials and installation. Metal roofs can last 40-70 years, while tile roofs may last 50+ years. Georgia's hot summers, humidity, and severe weather can impact lifespan, making quality installation and regular maintenance crucial.

  • What are the signs I need a new roof?

    Look for missing or curling shingles, granules in your gutters, water stains on ceilings or walls, sagging roof areas, daylight visible through roof boards, or a roof over 20 years old. If you notice multiple issues, it's often more cost-effective to replace rather than repeatedly repair.

  • How much does roof replacement cost in Middle Georgia?

    Roof replacement costs vary based on size, materials, and complexity. On average, homeowners in Middle Georgia can expect to pay $8,000-$15,000 for asphalt shingles, $12,000-$25,000 for metal roofing, and $15,000-$30,000 for tile. We provide free detailed estimates for all projects.

  • Can you install a roof during Georgia's rainy season?

    We can work around Georgia's weather patterns, but we never compromise safety or quality. Light rain may cause brief delays, but we use protective measures and can often continue work. We'll always communicate weather-related schedule adjustments in advance.

  • How do I prepare my roof for hurricane season?

    Schedule a professional inspection, secure or remove loose objects from your roof, trim overhanging tree branches, clean gutters and downspouts, and consider upgrading to impact-resistant shingles. We offer pre-storm inspections and emergency tarping services.

  • What should I do if my roof is damaged in a storm?

    First, ensure everyone's safety and document damage with photos. Contact your insurance company to file a claim, then call us for emergency repairs. We can provide temporary protection with tarping and work directly with your insurance adjuster.

  • How long does roof installation take?

    Most residential roof replacements take 1-3 days, depending on size, complexity, and weather. We'll provide a specific timeline during your estimate and keep you informed of progress throughout the project.

  • Do you work on weekends?

    We understand roofing emergencies don't follow business hours. While regular installations are typically Monday-Friday, we're available for emergency repairs on weekends and can discuss weekend installation for special circumstances.

Materials & Installation

  • How often should I have my roof inspected?

    We recommend professional inspections every 2-3 years, or after severe weather events. Regular inspections can identify small issues before they become major problems, potentially saving thousands in repair costs.

  • Can you repair just part of my roof?

    Yes, we handle repairs of all sizes, from single shingle replacement to section repairs. However, if repairs exceed 25-30% of your roof area, replacement may be more cost-effective and provide better long-term value.

  • Do you provide emergency services?

    Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency services for severe damage situations. We can provide immediate tarping, temporary repairs, and emergency assessments to protect your home until permanent repairs can be completed.
