The lifespan of a new roof can vary depending on several factors, including the material used, climate conditions, maintenance, and installation quality. Here's a general guideline for the lifespan of common roofing materials: 1. Asphalt Shingles: Typically last 15-30 years, with architectural shingles often lasting longer than 3-tab shingles. 2. Metal Roofing: Can last 40-70 years or more, depending on the type of metal (e.g., steel, aluminum, copper) and maintenance. 3. Tile Roofing: Concrete or clay tiles can last 50 years or more, with proper maintenance. 4. Wood Shingles/Shakes: Cedar shakes can last around 20-40 years, depending on maintenance and climate. 5. Slate Roofing: Slate roofs can last 50-100+ years if properly maintained. Factors such as regular inspections, timely repairs, climate conditions (like extreme heat or cold), and installation quality play significant roles in determining how long a roof will last. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs can extend the lifespan of any roof.

Yes! We can help with all sort of insurance work. When a roofing contractor works with an insurance company, it typically involves the following process: 1. Initial Assessment: The homeowner contacts their insurance company to file a claim for roof damage. The insurance company may send an adjuster to inspect the roof and assess the damage. 2. Estimate and Documentation: The roofing contractor also assesses the damage and provides a detailed estimate for repairs or replacement. They document the extent of the damage and the materials needed. 3. Negotiation and Approval: The roofing contractor may negotiate with the insurance adjuster to ensure that all necessary repairs or replacements are covered under the homeowner's policy. This may involve providing additional documentation or photos of the damage. 4. Agreement and Authorization: Once the insurance company approves the claim and the scope of work, the roofing contractor and homeowner agree on a timeline for the project. The contractor obtains authorization from the homeowner to proceed with the work. 5. Completion and Inspection: The roofing contractor completes the repairs or replacement according to the agreed-upon specifications. They ensure that the work meets local building codes and manufacturer's guidelines. 6. Final Documentation and Payment: The contractor provides the insurance company with final documentation, such as invoices and proof of completion. The insurance company then releases payment to the homeowner, who typically pays the contractor for the work completed. Throughout this process, effective communication between the homeowner, roofing contractor, and insurance company is crucial to ensure a smooth and successful roof repair or replacement project. The contractor's expertise in dealing with insurance claims helps streamline the process and ensures that the homeowner receives fair coverage for necessary roof repairs or replacements.

Roof inspections are recommended annually, especially after severe weather events like storms, to catch potential issues early.

Look for signs such as missing or damaged shingles, leaks in the attic or ceilings, sagging areas, or excessive granules in gutters.
