Look for signs like curling or missing shingles, leaks inside your home, or excessive granules in your gutters. If your roof is more than 20–25 years old, it may be time to consider replacement. We offer no obligation inspections. ### How long will a roof replacement take? Most homes can be completed in 1–3 days, depending on size and complexity. Weather and unexpected repairs (like damaged decking) can add a little time. ### What materials do you install? We install Owens Corning asphalt shingles, standing seam metal roofing, Synthetic roofing, and commercial membrane/rubber roofing. Each option has different benefits for lifespan, style, and budget. ### Do you clean up after the job? Yes. We use tarps, magnetic nail sweepers, and a full site clean-up so your property looks as good — or better — than when we arrived. ### How long will my new roof last? It depends on the material. Asphalt shingles typically last 20–30 years, metal roofing can last 40–50 years or more, and commercial membrane systems are designed for long-term durability on flat roofs.

It’s completely your choice. Repairs can be noisy, so many homeowners choose to be away for comfort. We do recommend arranging care for pets since hammering and equipment noise can be stressful for them. ### What happens if it rains during my repair? Our crews monitor the forecast closely. If rain moves in, we secure your roof with protective coverings to prevent water from entering your home. Work resumes once conditions are safe. ### How do you protect my property while working? We cover landscaping with tarps, protect siding and windows, and take safety measures around your home. Our goal is to leave no damage behind. ### What if my roof keeps leaking after the repair? We stand by our work. If a leak persists, contact us right away, and we’ll return promptly to resolve the issue. ### Can you help with insurance claims? Yes. Our [General Manager, Chris,](https://www.valantineroofing.com/our-company/about-us?hsLang=en) is a licensed insurance adjuster and expert in storm damage claims. He can guide you through the process to make sure your claim is handled correctly.

[We install proven systems like LeafX and Raytec](https://www.valantineroofing.com/roofing-services/gutters?hsLang=en)that keep debris out while allowing water to flow freely. They greatly reduce maintenance and extend the life of your gutters. ### Can you replace siding or windows without replacing my roof? Yes. While many homeowners tackle multiple projects at once, we can handle [windows,](https://www.valantineroofing.com/exterior-services/windows?hsLang=en)[siding](https://www.valantineroofing.com/exterior-services/siding?hsLang=en), skylights, or decks as standalone services. ### What’s the benefit of Trex decking vs. wood? [Trex composite](https://www.valantineroofing.com/exterior-services/decks?hsLang=en)decking is low-maintenance, won’t rot, warp, or splinter, and resists fading. It’s more expensive upfront than wood, but it saves money and hassle in the long run. ### Do skylights and sun tunnels add efficiency? Yes. [Velux skylights](https://www.valantineroofing.com/exterior-services/skylights?hsLang=en)and sun tunnels bring in natural light, reduce the need for artificial lighting, and can even help lower energy costs. ### Can you repair my chimney, or only replace it? We offer [chimney repairs](https://www.valantineroofing.com/exterior-services/chimney-repair?hsLang=en)such as flashing, masonry patching, and sealing. If the damage is too extensive, we’ll recommend replacement for safety. ## Cost & Financing FAQ's Explore flexible payment plans on our[Financing page](https://www.valantineroofing.com/offerings/financing?hsLang=en) ### How much will my roof cost?
