Common Roofing Questions
How do I know if I need a roof repair or a full replacement?
If the problem is limited to one area and the rest of the roof is in decent shape, a repair usually makes sense. If the roof is older, has widespread wear, or keeps leaking in new places, replacement is often the better investment. An inspection will tell you which.
How long does a shingle roof last in eastern North Carolina?
Most asphalt shingle roofs last roughly 20 to 25 years here. Heat, humidity, poor attic ventilation and storm damage can shorten that.
Are inspections and quotes really free?
Yes. Inspections and written quotes for repair or replacement work are free with no obligation.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most homes are finished in one to two days of work, depending on size, steepness, weather and how much decking needs repair.
Will insurance cover my roof?
Insurance may cover sudden damage from covered events like wind, hail or falling trees, minus your deductible. Normal wear and aging usually isn't covered. Your insurance company makes the final decision.
What should I do if my roof is leaking right now?
Catch the water with a bucket, move valuables out of the way, and call 252-632-6852. Active leaks get priority, and a tarp can be installed to protect the house until permanent repairs are made.
Do you work on commercial and flat roofs?
Yes, including TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, metal roofs and roof coatings.
Do you install metal roofs?
Yes, both standing seam and exposed-fastener metal for homes, barns, shops and commercial buildings.
Why does my roof have black streaks?
Those streaks are usually algae that thrives in humid climates like ours. A soft-wash roof cleaning can safely remove them. Pressure washing should never be used on shingles.
What areas do you serve?
Greenville and surrounding communities, including Winterville, Ayden, Farmville, Grimesland, Washington and Bethel.
