FAQs

The duration of a roof replacement project depends on several factors including the size of your home, the roofing materials used, weather conditions, and the expertise of the roofing team. Generally, the process can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks to complete.

A roof estimate involves a thorough examination of your roof, checking for missing or damaged shingles, signs of leaks or water damage, and evaluating the condition of gutters and vents. The duration of the estimate can vary, potentially taking several hours, based on the size and overall condition of your roof.

Failing to conduct annual roof inspections increases the risk of overlooking damage that could become costly if left unaddressed. Over time, undetected roof issues may compromise your building's structural integrity and decrease its value. This is particularly important for property owners considering selling or leasing. To minimize these risks, we strongly recommend scheduling yearly inspections.

For safety reasons and to ensure all potential issues are identified, roofing professionals advise against self-inspection of roofs. Professional inspections are the most reliable method for detecting all possible problems. We encourage you to contact our team for a comprehensive roof assessment.

Roof inspections are recommended after severe weather events to identify potential damage. Additionally, annual inspections are advised to detect minor issues before they escalate. Other situations warranting roof inspections include property acquisitions, home renovations, and for landlords or commercial property owners assessing their buildings' structural integrity.

When selecting a roofing company for a significant investment like your home, it's crucial to choose a trustworthy team. Begin by seeking recommendations from friends and family or researching online reviews of local roofing companies. Once you've identified potential candidates, contact them to inquire about their practices, warranties, guarantees, materials used, and experience. At AJ Kerekes Roofing, our experienced team is committed to providing competitive pricing, respectful service, and simplifying the process of obtaining a new roof.

The lifespan of a roof varies depending on the material used, but most roofs typically last at least 20 years. Metal roofs often have a longer lifespan due to their durability. While these are average estimates, our team can provide a more accurate assessment based on your chosen materials. Our high-quality roofing products come with excellent warranties that vary by type, and with proper maintenance, your roof may even exceed these estimated lifespans.

The necessity for a new roof or repairs depends on the extent of damage to your existing roof. Minor damage, such as a few storm-damaged shingles, may only require repairs. However, if your roof is several decades old with widespread shingle cracking or warping, a full replacement may be necessary. In some cases, a reroof, which involves installing a new roof over existing shingles, may be an option. This can be cost-effective and time-saving, but may not be suitable for all buildings or situations.
