Getting a new roof can often feel like an overwhelming and confusing process, so we outlined a step-by-step guide to choosing the best roof for your home.
Step 1: Get an Inspection
Your first step before getting a new roof should always be to get an inspection. Luckily for you, ours are free! When you schedule an inspection, a trained roofing professional will come out and do a thorough analysis of your roof. They know precisely what to look for – whether you’ve sustained damage from past storms or only have wear and tear accumulated over time.
Step 2: Need to File a Claim?
After a disaster hits, your homeowner’s insurance can save you thousands of dollars on repairs. However, insurance can be tricky, and not everything is covered. To avoid unexpected costs, you need to take a close look at your homeowner’s policy. We’ve put together a complete guide on top tips and mistakes not to make regarding your insurance claim HERE.
Step 3: Select Your New Roof Type / Color
There are many different types of roofing materials to choose from and come in a wide price range as well. If you have any questions about what roofing material might be best for you, please call us, and we’d be more than happy to assist you.

What to Expect on Install Day
We are typically able to complete a job in a single day and always leave your property spotless. Our goal is to make the process as quick and easy as possible, and that’s why we always communicate what we’re doing with the homeowner. We like to forewarn that the work can be noisy, and homeowners should take the necessary steps to ensure work and/or children at home aren’t disturbed. Also, please be careful when entering and exiting the house, and never walk outside barefoot while we’re working.
After Install Clean-Up
We will ensure that your roof, gutters, and yard are clear of roofing debris. Please make sure you and your family wear shoes outside to stay safe in case a stray nail was left. We also recommend doing a walk around your property with your project manager.
