A roof you stop
thinking about.
That is the whole job.

You usually cannot tell from the ground, and that is the honest answer. Missing shingles, granules collecting in the gutters, a stain on a ceiling and daylight in the attic all point at different things, and some of them are a morning's work rather than a new roof.

Not every roof that gets quoted for replacement needs one. We get called out to plenty where a repair to the flashing or a valley solves it for a fraction of the price. We will get up there, photograph what we find, and show you. If a repair will do it, we will say so, even though a replacement pays us more.

It depends on things we can only see up close: the size and pitch of the roof, how many layers are already on it, whether the decking underneath is sound, and whether you want architectural shingle or standing seam metal.

Anyone who gives you a number over the phone without looking is guessing, and that guess usually goes up later. We look first, then you get a firm number in writing. The inspection is free either way.

If the damage came from wind or hail, often yes. Age and ordinary wear, usually not.

The part people miss is that claims have deadlines, and damage you cannot see from the ground gets worse every time it rains. We will come out, walk the roof, and document what we find with photographs so you have what you need to file. Then we deal with the adjuster so you are not translating roofing terms over the phone.

This is the thing people ask about most, and fairly. A tear-off drops a lot of nails.

We sweep before we leave. Every driveway, walkway and yard gets a magnet pass before we pull off your property. If you find a nail we missed in the first thirty days, call us and we will come back out that week and go over it again.

Sometimes we do. Rotten decking is the usual one, and there is no way to know it is there until the old roof comes off.

The number on your estimate is the number you pay. If we find something we could not see from the outside, work stops and we call you. Nothing gets added to your bill without you saying yes to it first. No surprises at the end.

Most residential replacements are one to two days on the roof, weather depending. Repairs are usually same week rather than a three week wait, which is where a smaller local outfit beats a booked-out one.

We will give you a date rather than a vague window, and if weather moves it you will hear from us rather than wondering.

Yes, licensed and insured. Our certificate of insurance is available on request, and you are welcome to ask for it. You should ask anyone who offers to work on your house.

We are also local. Our name is on the Georgia Secretary of State filing, and we are still here next year, which is more than the crews who show up in town after a storm can say.

Both. A lot of larger companies quietly do not want repair work because the ticket is small.

We do it, and we would rather fix a valley for you now than sell you a roof you did not need. If it turns into a replacement in five years, we would like it to be us you call.
