Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I know if my roof needs replacement?

    Roofs typically need replacement when they're 20-25 years old, have multiple leak points, widespread shingle deterioration, or sagging decking that repairs can't address.

  • What affects roof replacement costs in Lancaster?

    Key cost factors include roof size, material selection, complexity of the structure, removal requirements, and any necessary repairs to underlying decking or flashing.

  • When should I repair versus replace my roof?

    Repair works for localized damage under 30% of the roof surface. Replace when repairs exceed half the replacement cost or multiple areas need attention.

  • How long does roof replacement typically take?

    Most residential roof replacements complete within 1-3 days depending on size and complexity, weather permitting. Complex structures may require additional time for proper installation.

  • What roofing materials work best in Pennsylvania?

    Asphalt shingles handle freeze-thaw cycles well and offer affordability. Metal roofing excels in snow shedding and wind resistance for Lancaster's variable weather patterns.

  • Can storm damage be repaired immediately?

    Emergency repairs provide temporary protection within hours. Permanent repairs follow once conditions allow, typically addressing wind damage, missing shingles, or compromised flashing systems.

  • Why does proper ventilation matter for roofs?

    Adequate ventilation prevents ice dam formation, reduces cooling costs, and prevents moisture buildup that leads to mold growth and premature material failure.

  • What's included in professional roof replacement?

    Complete tear-off, decking inspection and repair, new underlayment installation, proper ventilation, quality shingles, flashing replacement, and thorough cleanup with disposal.

  • How do I prepare for roof replacement?

    Remove vehicles from driveways, protect landscaping near the house, clear attic items from vibration, and ensure contractor access to electrical outlets.

  • What warranties cover new roof installations?

    Material warranties from manufacturers cover defects for 20-50 years depending on product. Workmanship warranties typically provide 2-10 years of installation protection.
