How do I know if I need a new
roof?
Generally, new shingled roofs
should last upwards of 20+
years. There are many factors,
such as proper installation,
climate, and ventilation, that
will impact the life of your
roof.
Even if your roof shows signs of
damage, you may not need a total
roof replacement (see
our Repair & Restoration page).
We can give your roof a thorough
examination and let you know if
you are in need of a new roof,
or just a few repairs. |

How is Standing Seam Roofing good for
the environment?
1. Can be produced from recycled
steel
2. Since existing roofs can
remain in place under standing
seam, the old roofing system is
not taking up space in
landfills.
3. Cool Roofing technology and
reflective insulation reduces
energy requirements.

How can I prevent algae growth on
shingles?
Fortunately most types of
architectural shingles that are
manufactured today are coated with zinc
or copper granules which help to prevent
algae growth. However, make sure you
select shingles that are algae
resistant, especially for high humidity
areas, or north facing roofs with light
color shingles. Algae can be damaging,
and cause black algae streaks to run
down the roof lines. |

What is involved in having my
roof inspected?
As part of the estimation
process, your roofing contractor
should inspect your roof
structure and inform you of any
damage to the underlying wood
prior to removing the old roof
materials. The roofing
estimate should include the cost
of replacing any damaged
materials.
At times, it is possible that
hidden damage may not be
discovered until after the roof
surface is removed.
