Suwanee Roof Repair FAQ

My roof is leaking! Does it need to be replaced?

Not always, sometimes a simple patch is all that's required. Sometimes it's as simple as a section of the roof has been moved or damaged, or perhaps some flashings became loose. It's only when you have a total roof failure that the entire unit has to be replaced. This can be caused by severe weather damage, improper installation, poor choice in materials, or a roof install that was not fitting acceptable to the type of building it went on to.

What about re-roofing?

Re-roofing is the act of placing a roof over a previously existing roof. It is wholeheartedly not recommended by any professional. Although it can seem like it's saving you money (in the short run), it can actually be masking legitimate problems that need to be addressed. Covering over problematic areas can actually cost you more in the long run, due to the way water works when dripping into your residence. And furthermore, the new roof placed over the old roof can actually cause more problems for the roofing put down on top. When roofing is placed over roofing, you can tell by the wavy water marks that it wasn't a watertight job after removal. It's far more economic in the long run it install a brand new roof, in that case.

How long will it take to re-roof my home?

The times vary, but for the most part within a week. You can think of each step taking place within a day, so long as the weather and the scope of the project are feasible. Step one is simple, we will take off or remove your existing roof. Next, we load up whichever roofing material you requested onto your roof as the building inspector checks over your residence. If it's a pass, we move on to step three. By far the most extensive step, we install your brand new roof right then and there. And finally, the roofing inspector comes back to ensure that you had your roof properly installed. Afterwards, feel free to sit back and relax under your brand new roof!
