FAQ

Q: When to get a roof inspection?

A:  Signs of roof damage include: buckling or rotten shingles, missing shingles and discoloration. The age of a roof can also be a good indication to get a roof inspection. Many of these signs can be seen from the ground, depending on the height and slope of your roof.

  1. Interior damage such as leaking and bubbling ceilings are also a good sign that it’s time to call a professional, licensed roofer.
  2. Recent wind or hail storms can cause significant damage to your roofing system. Your roof should be evaluated immediately.
  3. Our roof inspections are free and will give you a better understanding of what needs to be done. Contact us to schedule a free inspection. 
  4. Looking to sell your home? A potential buyer’s first impression is formed when they pull up to your house. Is your house creating an A+ impression? We can inspect your exterior and provide recommendations to improve your home’s first impression, including: roof, siding, gutters, windows, soffit, and fascia.
Q: Do I need a roof repair or a complete re-roof?

A: Once your free inspection is completed, you will receive our honest and professional opinion. Sometimes a repair is all that your roof needs – right now. We can estimate the remaining life of your roof so you can budget for the future.

Q: How much does a new roof cost?

A: Retail roofing markets vary greatly, depending on which contractor you consult. We suggest getting a few quotes and reviewing the scope of the project thoroughly.

Does the scope list deck repairs and plywood replacement (if needed)? What is the cost (usually per plywood)?

Is a permit included?

What kind of warranties are available?

Is waste disposal included? 

Q: Are all roofing companies equal? What criteria should I use to evaluate a potential roofer?

A: Homeowners need to do their research when selecting a roofing company. Some questions to ask:

Do you use subcontractors or do company crews perform the labor?

What kind of materials do you use?

Are you licensed in the State of Illinois?

Do you have any complaints or unresolved issues with the BBB?

Are there references I can call? ​
