Roofing Questions

  • How do I know if my roof needs repairs or replacement?

     Look for signs like missing or curled shingles, leaks, water stains, sagging roof sections, or granules in your gutters. Our team provides detailed inspections and will recommend the most cost-effective solution — whether that’s a repair to extend the roof’s life or a full replacement.

  • How long does a roof installation or replacement take?

    Most residential roof installations are completed within 1–3 days, depending on size, complexity, and weather. Larger or more complex projects may take up to a week. We work efficiently to minimize disruption while ensuring quality results.

  • How often should I schedule a roof inspection?

    We recommend at least one inspection per year — ideally in spring or fall — and after any major storm. This allows us to catch small problems before they turn into expensive repairs.

  • How can I ensure my roof lasts longer?

    Routine inspections, timely repairs, and proper ventilation are key. We also use premium materials backed by warranties, ensuring your roof can stand up to Whitakers’ varied weather.

  • How do I choose the right roofing material for my home?

    We’ll help you select a material based on your budget, style preferences, and performance needs. Popular options include asphalt shingles for affordability and EDCO metal roofing for maximum durability and energy efficiency.

  • How can I prepare my home for roof installation or repairs?

    Clear the driveway and yard near your home, protect valuables in your attic, and inform neighbors of the work schedule. We’ll handle the rest, including setting up safety equipment and protecting landscaping.

  • What can I do to extend the life of my roof?

    In addition to professional inspections, keep gutters clean, trim overhanging branches, and check for signs of damage after storms. We offer maintenance plans to make this process easy for homeowners.
