Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend a professional inspection at least twice a year, ideally in the spring and fall. This allows us to assess any damage from winter ice or summer storms and prepare the roof for the upcoming season.
We offer both a workmanship warranty that covers our installation quality and a manufacturer's warranty that covers the roofing materials themselves. The length and terms vary by system, but we provide comprehensive warranty options for your peace of mind.
The timeline for a commercial roof replacement depends on the size of the roof, the system being installed, and weather conditions. A small project might take a few days, while a large industrial roof could take several weeks. We provide a detailed project schedule before we begin any work.
