Q: Why do I need a roof, if it's not leaking?
A:Your roof has a limited life span. If you exceed that, it will only lead to bigger and more expensive repairs when you replace it later on down the road.
Q: Can I put the roofing job off for a few years?
A: If you have had hail in your area, a close inspection of the shingles should be made from the roof by an experienced roof assessor to determine if the shingles have been damaged. Hail damage on a roof is often missed from a ground level inspection.
Q: What color of roof should I select?
A: This is a very good question but it is also a personal one. We can provide you with color samples from the manufacturer.
Q: How long does the job take?
A: The average job takes two or three days for one of our crews. Once we have started work on your home, the work is not interrupted until it is completed - weather permitting. When your job is scheduled, it is the only job for that crew until completion.
Q: Why should I hire a professional roofer and not a handyman?
A: Would you hire a plumber to do an electrical job? Experience and an understanding of the changing technology of roofing systems are absolutely necessary.
Q: How is the price of my roof replacement determined?
A: Different roofing companies have different ways of quoting. Some use job cost analysis. Some focus on what they feel the market will bear. And some just pull a number out of the air and gauge the response. At Stronghold we use Xactimate pricing. Xactimate is a nationwide estimating service subscribed to by most insurance companies to help them verify that their subcontractors are pricing fairly on any given project. In fact, many insurers prefer not to deal with roofers who do not use Xactimate pricing.
