FAQs

A leaking roof typically does not require full replacement unless it has reached an advanced age. Individual shingles that are missing, cracked, or broken can be repaired or replaced to address leaks. However, roofs experiencing multiple leaks or extensive deterioration across large areas should be fully replaced.

Homeowners can handle certain minor repairs on their own. That said, significant roof work or complete replacement involves complex procedures that require proper training and experience, making it advisable to hire professional contractors.

The lifespan of a roof depends on several factors, including the materials used in construction and the local climate conditions. Generally, most roofing systems are engineered to provide 15 to 25 years of service.

The extent of hail damage depends primarily on your roof's age and current condition. Hailstones the size of marbles generally will not cause significant damage on their own, though they can be problematic when accompanied by strong winds.

After storm damage occurs, you should document any visible damage, contact a roofing contractor to perform an inspection, notify your insurance company of the damage, and arrange for temporary protection measures if you have active leaks.

Industry professionals typically recommend scheduling a roof inspection every one to two years, as well as following any significant storm events in the area.
