Frequently Asked Questions: Residential Roofing

Whether you have a shingle or metal roof, keeping it healthy all the time is one of the most important aspects of preserving the beauty, integrity and value of your home. This is why it should always be at the top of your routine maintenance list. To help you take proactive steps and make smart decisions, Dynamic Roofing Concepts answers some of the most frequently asked questions about residential roofing.

How Do I Tell if My Roof Needs Replacement?

There are several warning signs, but some of the most obvious include leaks, torn shingles and loose flashings. The presence of excessive shingle granules in the gutters is also a sign that your shingles are nearing the end of their service life. Since the roof can be a bit deceptive when it comes to telling you when there’s something wrong, it’s better to have an expert like us inspect your roof.

How Long do Asphalt Shingles Last?

Asphalt-shingle roof is the most common choice among homeowners, and its usual life span ranges between 15 to 25 years. It comes in different grades, and the higher the grade, the longer the service life. Most architectural or designer shingles can actually last as long as 40 years with proper care and maintenance. For lasting results, we recommend choosing reputable brands like GAF.

How Long Will it Take to Install a New Roof?

Most roofing installations can be finished in one day. If your project will take a bit longer, rest assured that we’ll clean and secure the worksite before we leave. Once the work is done, we’ll make sure to clean the area. We won’t leave until the work is done to your specifications.

Which Roofing Material Should I Pick?

Your choice of roofing material ultimately depends on your tastes and your home’s needs. If you want an aesthetically-pleasing roof, asphalt shingles are ideal because some grades can even mimic the look of wood. On the other hand, if you want long-term durability and value, then metal or tile roofing is your best option.
