At Apollo Roofing, we frequently receive questions from homeowners about roof replacement.
Here are the most common questions and our professional insights regarding roofing.
1. How do I know if my roof needs replacing?
If your roof is over 20 years old or showing signs like cracked shingles, leaks, or sagging, it’s time to consider a replacement.
We also check for granule loss, soft spots, and daylight coming through the attic.
2. What are the dangers of ignoring roof damage?
Ignoring damage can lead to leaks, mold growth, and structural issues. Over time, this can cause expensive repairs inside your home, including water damage and insulation problems.
3. Can I just repair the damaged areas?
Minor damage can sometimes be repaired, but if your roof has widespread issues, frequent repairs will cost more in the long run than a full replacement.
We’ll evaluate the overall condition to help you decide.
4. How does Monroe County’s weather affect my roof?
Rochester’s harsh winters, with snow, ice, and freezing temperatures, are hard on roofs.
If not addressed, ice dams and heavy snow buildup can cause significant wear, leading to leaks and structural damage.
5. How long will a roof replacement take?
A typical roof replacement takes about 1 to 3 days, depending on the size and complexity of the project.
We ensure the job is done efficiently while maintaining high-quality standards.
6. What roofing materials are best for this area?
Asphalt shingles are famous in the Greater Rochester area for their durability in cold climates.
Metal roofs are also an excellent option for longevity and weather resistance. We’ll help you choose the best material for your home.
7. Will replacing my roof increase my home’s value?
Yes, a new roof can significantly increase your home’s value and curb appeal.
Buyers are more likely to invest in a property with a recently replaced roof, especially in weather-sensitive areas like Monroe and Ontario Counties.
8. How much will it cost to replace my roof?
Costs depend on the size of your roof, the materials chosen, and the project’s complexity.
After a thorough inspection, we provide a detailed estimate so you know exactly what to expect.
9. How do I know if the roofing contractor is reputable?
