FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Roof Repair And Replacement FAQ’s
How do I know whether I need a new roof?
The most reliable way to determine if your roof needs replacement is by scheduling a thorough inspection with a qualified professional. During this detailed assessment, the expert will evaluate the overall condition of your roofing system, including its individual components such as flashings, boots, sealants, and ventilation. Based on their findings, they will provide a recommendation tailored to your roof’s needs. At Apple Roofing, we offer a complimentary 15-point inspection to help you make informed decisions about your roof’s health.
Even if you only suspect issues with your roof, it’s wise to consult a professional promptly. Ignoring potential problems can escalate into more costly repairs down the line.
Will I need a repair or replacement roof job?
After conducting a thorough assessment of your roofing system’s overall condition, a professional can provide tailored recommendations. Regular maintenance is often key to prolonging the lifespan of your roof.
How much will my roofing work cost?
The cost varies based on your home’s size, the condition of your roof, and the quality of materials chosen for the project.
Should I replace gutters during roof repair?
The feasibility of working around gutters largely depends on their condition. If the gutters are in good shape, we typically accommodate them during the roofing process. However, on steep roof systems, it may not be cost-effective to do so.
How long will the job take?
The completion time for roofing projects can vary, but many are typically finished within a day or two. Schottenstein Roofing always provides upfront time estimates for any job we do.
What can I do to prep for the roofing job?
We typically recommend that clients move cars and personal items, such as inflatable pools, away from the work area before we begin. Roof repair can be noisy, so many of our customers choose to be away from home for several hours during the most intensive repair work. Additionally, mowing the lawn a couple of days before our arrival can facilitate easier cleanup.
How do I know if my roof is damaged?
It’s safer to call a professional for an inspection rather than attempting to climb the ladder yourself. Identifying damage can be challenging for an untrained eye, as bruising may not always be visible on the surface.
How do I choose a roofing contractor?
If you’re still considering our services, we encourage you to do your due diligence! Roofing contractors frequently receive a high number of complaints, according to the Better Business Bureau.
Unfortunately, after storms, scammers and unscrupulous contractors often take advantage of people. Many contractors travel from state to state, leaving behind unfinished work or failing to honor warranties after completing a job. Here are some tips to help you make an informed decision:
Have you heard of them before? A good reputation is a positive sign.
Visit their website and verify their physical address. Many companies claim to be “local” post-storm, but not all of them are.
Check their reviews. Look for a substantial number of reviews, recent feedback, and a mix of positive and negative reviews to ensure authenticity.
Are they licensed? You can usually verify this on your state’s official website.
Can I repair small roofing problems myself?
We strongly advise against attempting roof inspections yourself. Unless you’re a trained roofer, it’s safer to leave this task to the professionals. Climbing ladders and inspecting roofs can be risky business. Our teams are insured, experienced, and equipped with the knowledge to identify potential issues accurately and safely.
How does a typical roof age?
Various elements like wind, rain, hail, and sun contribute to the gradual deterioration of a roof over time. While some signs of aging are visible, others may go unnoticed. The sun’s UV rays can cause asphalt roofing to degrade by breaking down the resins and oils that give asphalt its flexibility and pliability. The granules on shingles serve a crucial function beyond aesthetics; they protect the asphalt from these harmful UV rays, thereby extending its lifespan. Additionally, seasonal temperature fluctuations cause materials to expand and contract repeatedly, leading to increased brittleness and eventual damage.
How can I find the source of a leak?
Identifying the source of a leak is best left to professionals. Leaks can originate from various sources, not just the roof itself. An experienced roofer has the expertise to trace the source of the leak accurately.
What will a new roof do for my home?
A new roof can enhance the value of your home, boost its curb appeal, which can lead to faster sales if you decide to put it on the market, and improve its overall energy efficiency.
What indicators should prompt me to call a roofer?
Signs of potential roof issues include discoloration on interior walls and ceilings, water dripping anywhere in the home, missing or damaged shingles, a musty or unpleasant odor emanating from walls or ceilings, or any event that you suspect may have caused damage to your roof.
Insurance Claims FAQ
What signs of roof damage should a homeowner look for after a storm?
The extent of storm damage can vary depending on the severity of the wind or hailstorm and the condition of the property before the storm occurred. Damage can range from obvious signs like missing shingles to more subtle indications such as hail marks that may not be visible from the ground.
Wind damage is typically easier to identify. You might observe that your shingles are lifting or missing altogether. When one of our Roofing Consultants conducts an inspection of your roof, they will thoroughly assess the property for any signs of damage.
Will Schottenstein Roofing be there if the insurance company requires their adjuster to inspect the roof?
Absolutely! Please provide us with the date and time of your insurance adjuster’s appointment at your home, and we’ll arrange to meet with them. We’ll accompany the adjuster during their roof inspection, pointing out areas of storm damage and any other documented issues.
Who will call in or file the claim?
The homeowner is responsible for initiating the insurance claim, but we’re here to assist you throughout the entire process. We’ll inspect your roof, provide detailed photos and documentation to support your claim, and help answer any questions your insurance company may have. If you’re unsure about the extent of the damages, it’s advisable to contact us first to determine if the damages exceed your deductible before filing a claim.
If my roof is leaking, who is responsible for stopping the leak?
Many insurance policies require homeowners to take immediate action following an event to prevent further damage. If you’re experiencing active water intrusion due to a roof leak, it’s crucial to contact us at Schottenstein Roofing for emergency repairs to mitigate further damage. The costs associated with emergency repairs aimed at preventing additional damage are typically covered under standard insurance policies.
What if you discover more damage that was evident during the initial inspection.
If we identify additional damage during the inspection, we’ll thoroughly document everything with photos and notes. We’ll review our findings with the homeowner and guide them through the insurance claim process. Additionally, we’ll accompany the insurance adjuster during their assessment to point out the storm damage on the roof, ensuring it’s properly covered by the insurance claim.
How long will my roof last?
Schottenstein Roofing consultants can provide detailed information about the specific manufacturer and installation warranty durations for your roofing system. While typical manufacturer warranties often start at around 25 years, many products now offer lifetime warranties extending up to 50 years. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have; we’re here to help!
Will Schottenstein Roofing cover my deductible?
No, we do not cover deductibles. Contractors who claim to cover deductibles are engaging in insurance fraud. At Schottenstein Roofing, we prioritize honesty and integrity in our dealings with customers and adhere strictly to ethical practices.
