  • How can I determine if my roof needs to be repaired or replaced?

    During a roof's typical 20-year lifespan, repairs are often sufficient. However, if water infiltration persists despite regular maintenance, replacement may be necessary. Look for signs such as cracked or missing shingles and damaged flashings. For a professional assessment, contact Today's Roofing Inc. for a licensed roof inspection.
  • My roof leaks. Do I need to replace it immediately?

    A leaking roof doesn't always require immediate replacement. If the leak stems from minor damage, a repair might suffice. Our technicians at Today's Roofing Inc. are skilled in quickly identifying leak sources and providing effective repair solutions that can extend your roof's lifespan when possible.
  • How long do new roofs last?

    With proper maintenance, the average roof lasts about 20 years. Some roofing materials, such as cement fiber, tile, slate, and copper, can endure for 30 years or more.
  • I received quotes for several different roof prices, how do I know which one to choose?

    Price variations in roofing quotes can be due to factors like inadequate insurance coverage, use of subcontractors, or limited experience. We recommend thoroughly researching a contractor's credentials, as lower quotes might indicate subpar workmanship.
  • What is the industry standard for warranties?

    Industry standards regulate manufacturer warranties, which cover material defects only. Labor warranties, offered by roofing contractors, can vary significantly depending on the specific contractor.
  • Can roofing be installed or repaired during winter?

    While there are no standard temperature guidelines for asphalt shingle installation, some materials can become brittle in cold weather. Experienced contractors like Today's Roofing Inc. properly store materials and work efficiently. We offer professional roof installation and repair services year-round.
  • What is the best asphalt shingle to use on my roof?

    The best asphalt shingles comply with industry standards and local building codes. Their performance depends not only on quality but also on compatibility with other roof components.
  • When should a shingle underlayment be used?

    An underlayment serves multiple purposes: it protects shingles and decking from wood resins and water penetration, enhances fire resistance, and is often required by manufacturer warranties.
  • My contractor wants to use staples instead of nails to install my roof. Is that OK?

    At Today's Roofing Inc., we adhere to industry best practices and building code requirements. For all asphalt installations, we use galvanized steel or corrosion-resistant nails, as recommended by manufacturers.
  • What is the best roofing system for a flat roof?

    The effectiveness of a roofing system depends more on the quality of materials and workmanship than on a specific system. Today's Roofing Inc. offers various installation options to help clients make informed decisions based on their unique requirements.
