The lifespan of a roof depends on several factors:

• Material
• Shingle thickness
• Climate and weather conditions
• Proper installation

Traditional asphalt shingle roofs typically last between 12 and 20 years, while slate, tile, and copper roofs may last upwards of 50. Thanks to their durability, metal roofs may enjoy life spans of 40 to 70 years. In regions that experience severe weather conditions such as high winds, snow, and significant rainfall, roofs generally have shorter life expectancies.

Most homeowner’s insurance covers structural damage caused by perils such as hail, wind, fire, and falling trees. This coverage includes your roof. Depending on your policy, coverage may include repair or replacement and may require you to pay a deductible. Some policies also include exclusions for certain conditions. We have extensive experience working with insurance companies and can help guide you through the process of making a roof insurance claim. We can also provide the necessary documentation and estimates required by your insurance company making the process turn-key. Contact us to see if you should contact your insurance company.

The cost of a new roof depends on its size and shape, the type of materials used, and the price of labor in your area. Chimneys and skylights also affect the overall price of roofing. Be sure to factor in disposal costs for your old roof. Contact us for a FREE quote.

• Missing or damaged flashing
• Dark or stained areas
