  • Can you supply material and lien waivers at the time of payment?

    We are able to provide material and labor lien waivers in accordance with current market practices. It's important to ensure all materials have been paid for in advance.
  • What are the signs that my roof needs to be repaired or replaced?

    Common indicators that your roof may require attention include damaged or missing shingles, water stains on ceilings, shingle granules in gutters, and visible sagging or discoloration. If you observe any of these issues, we recommend scheduling a professional inspection to evaluate your roof's condition.
  • How long does a roof typically last?

    The lifespan of a roof varies depending on the roofing material used. Based on our professional experience, asphalt shingles generally last between 15 and 30 years, while metal roofs can endure for 40 to 70 years. Factors such as climate, maintenance, and installation quality also influence a roof's longevity.
  • What factors should I consider when choosing roofing materials?

    When selecting roofing materials, it's important to consider factors such as durability, climate suitability, energy efficiency, cost, and aesthetics. For instance, while asphalt shingles are cost-effective, they may not be as resilient in extreme weather conditions as metal or tile roofs. Additionally, consider the material's insulation properties and their impact on your home's energy efficiency. Our team can guide you through the available options for your roof replacement.
  • Can I install a new roof over my existing one?

    Installing a new layer of roofing over an existing roof is sometimes possible, depending on local building codes and the condition of the current roof. While this approach can save time and money, it's crucial to ensure the old roof is in good condition and that the new installation won't compromise the overall structure. In many instances, removing the old roof for a proper installation is recommended. Our team can provide further advice when you choose us for your roof replacement.
  • Will my homeowner's insurance cover roof or siding replacement?

    Insurance coverage for roof or siding replacement depends on the cause of the damage. Most policies typically cover storm-related or accidental damage, but exclude issues caused by age, wear and tear, or lack of maintenance. We recommend reviewing your policy details and consulting with your insurance provider for clarification. If you're prepared to proceed with your roof replacement, please contact United Roofing Corporation.
  • How can I tell if I need new siding?

    Signs that you may need new siding include cracks, warping, mold growth, or an increase in energy bills, which could indicate poor insulation or structural issues. If you're looking for a siding and roofing contractor, please contact our team for assistance.
  • What maintenance is required for roofing and siding?

    For roofing maintenance, we recommend scheduling regular inspections, cleaning gutters, removing debris, and checking for damaged or missing shingles. Siding maintenance involves annual washing, inspecting for cracks or warping, and repainting or resealing as needed to maintain durability and appearance. If you're seeking a residential and commercial roofing company that can assist with maintenance, please contact us.
  • Does a leaky roof always mean it needs to be replaced?

    A leaky roof doesn't always necessitate replacement. Minor leaks on newer roofs may only require simple repairs, such as replacing a few shingles. However, for older roofs or widespread damage, a partial or full replacement may be more cost-effective and long-lasting. According to This Old House, residential asphalt shingles typically last 15 to 30 years on average. Our team can help determine the appropriate course of action for your roof.
  • How long does it take to install a new roof?

    Based on our experience, roof installation typically takes between one day and several days, depending on factors such as the roof's size and shape, materials used, and the size of the installation crew. Your contractor should provide a detailed timeline, although weather conditions can occasionally cause delays.
