F. A. Q
Frequently Asked Questions
What signs indicate the need for a new roof?

Here are some signs that may indicate a need for a new roofing.

  • Sagging or uneven roof deck
  • Missing or cracked shingles
  • Leaks or water damage in the attic or interior of the house
  • Curled or buckled shingles
  • Excessive amount of moss or algae growth
  • Old age (most roofs need to be replaced after 20-25 years)
  • Extreme weather damage 
  • Deterioration of flashing around chimneys, vents or skylights.

It is always recommended to get a professional roofing inspection every year to detect any problems that might occur early on before they become major issues.

Should I repair or replace the roof?

It depends on the extent of the damage and the age of the roof. If the roof is relatively new and the damage is limited to a small area, a repair may be sufficient. However, if the roof is old and the damage is widespread, a full replacement may be necessary. 

Additionally, if multiple repairs have been made to the same area of the roof, it may be more cost-effective to replace the entire roof. 

It is best to consult our roofing experts to know the best roofing solution to your needs.

What is the best type of roof?

Asphalt shingles are a popular and cost-effective choice for residential homes, they are durable and easy to install. They are also available in a variety of colors and styles, making them a versatile option for many homeowners. Plus, many manufacturers offer warranties of up to 50 years. 

How often does a roof need to be replaced?

The frequency at which a roof needs to be replaced can vary depending on a number of factors, including the type of roofing material, the quality of the installation, and the local climate. On average, a properly installed and maintained asphalt shingle roof will last between 15 and 30 years, while a metal roof can last up to 50 years or more. However, it is important to have a professional inspect your roof periodically to determine if and when it needs to be replaced.

How much does a new roof cost?

The cost of a new roof can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, including the size of the roof, the type of roofing material, the pitch of the roof, and the location of the property. On average, a new roof can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $25,000 or more. Let’s discuss your roofing needs so we can provide a more detailed estimate.

How long does it take to replace my roof?

The length of time it takes to replace a roof can vary depending on a number of factors, including the size of the roof, the type of roofing material, the complexity of the roof design, the weather conditions, and the experience of the roofing contractor.

However, on average, it can take anywhere from 1 to 5 days for our team of professional roofers to complete a full roof replacement. It’s also important to consider that if the weather conditions are not favorable, the work may be delayed and the time frame may be extended.

What if my roof leaks?

If your roof is leaking, it’s important to address the problem as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your home. One of the best ways to do this is by contacting a reputable roofing company that offers 24/7 leak service and repair, like County Roofing. We are able to quickly assess the problem, determine the cause of the leak, and provide the necessary repairs to fix the issue and prevent it from happening again.

Does the type of business influence what type of roofing system is practical?

Yes, it does. For example, a warehouse or manufacturing facility may require a flat or low-sloped roof to accommodate equipment and machinery, while a retail store or office building may have a steeper-sloped roof for aesthetic reasons. Additionally, the size and location of the building, as well as the budget and maintenance considerations, can also play a role in determining the practicality of a specific type of roofing system. Consult with our roofing experts to know which commercial roofing is right for your business. 

Should I get a new roof before I sell my home?

It depends on the condition of your existing roof and the potential impact on the sale of your home. If the roof is in poor condition and likely to be a major concern for potential buyers, it may be worth investing in a new roof to increase the overall value of your home and make it more attractive to buyers. If the roof is still in good condition, it may not be necessary to replace it before selling. You may consult a roofer to see if there’s a need for roof replacement.
