Our Answers to Frequently Asked Roofing Questions

As one of the leading residential and commercial roofing contractors in our area, Larry Walty Roofing & Guttering Inc. understands that many people replace their roofs only a few times in their lives. Some of you reading this blog might have never undertaken a roof replacement before, and you may be feeling a bit apprehensive about it. Don’t worry. In today’s blog, we will answer the most common questions about roof replacement projects.

Can I Replace My Roof Myself?

We do not recommend replacing your roof yourself because this is not a DIY project. Climbing up and working on a roof requires in-depth training, experience and skill. It also requires safety equipment to make sure that the job is completed without any complications. In addition, attempting to work on your roof yourself can void your manufacturer’s warranty. You should leave the job to a professional roofing company like us because we know how to do the work properly.

How Should I Go About Hiring My Roofing Contractor?

As an expert in residential and commercial roof repair and replacement, we highly recommend doing some research before hiring your roofing contractor. A new roof is an important investment. You should spend some time evaluating your prospective contractors. Check the contractor’s insurance coverage, verify their licenses and make sure that they have the certifications that they say they have. If possible, ask for local references and testimonials so you can see the quality of their work yourself.

What Can I Expect From My Roof Replacement?

Once you’ve hired your contractor, they will work with you to figure out the best time to schedule your roof replacement. Usually, contractors can replace a roof in one day provided the weather is good. During your roof replacement, the contractor will bring all the equipment and tools they need to replace your roof. Many roof replacements take only a day, but the length of the project will depend on the size and complexity of the roof.
