Our team will handle the necessary preparations, including acquiring permits and coordinating with your insurance company, if applicable.
How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced?
Common signs that your roof may need replacement include missing or damaged shingles, leaks, water stains on your ceilings, or excessive granule loss in your gutters. If your roof is more than 15-20 years old, it’s also a good idea to schedule an inspection to assess its condition. Our experts can help determine whether a repair or replacement is necessary.
How do I submit an insurance claim?
Submitting an insurance claim for roof damage is a straightforward process. First, contact your insurance provider to notify them of the damage. Then, schedule an inspection with our team so we can provide a detailed report and documentation, including photos of the damage. We’ll work with your insurance adjuster to ensure all necessary repairs or replacements are covered. Our team can help guide you through the claims process from start to finish.
How long after my estimate until my new roof is installed?
The timeline depends on several factors, including the size and complexity of your roof, weather conditions, and material availability. In most cases, after the estimate is approved, we aim to begin installation within 1-2 weeks. We’ll keep you informed every step of the way to ensure you know when to expect the installation.
What color roof would look best on my home?
Choosing the right color for your roof depends on your home’s style, exterior colors, and even the surrounding environment. Lighter colors can make your home appear larger, while darker shades provide a more classic, traditional look. We offer a wide range of roofing materials in various colors to match your home’s aesthetic. Our team can also provide samples and design advice to help you decide.
Should I use metal or shingles on my roof?
Both metal and shingles have their advantages, and the best choice depends on your home’s needs. Shingle roofs are more common in Missouri and are generally more affordable, offering a traditional look. Metal roofs are highly durable, energy-efficient, and resistant to extreme weather. They may cost more upfront but often have a longer lifespan. Our team can help you weigh the pros and cons based on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and long-term goals.
