Frequently Asked Questions

Roof Replacement

Can I Replace My Roof During the Wintertime?



Pro Roofing NW does offer roof replacements during the winter. While it may be easier to install a new roof in the summer, we can usually complete the “tear off and dry in” aspect of roof replacement in one day, as long as there is no snow or rain. After that, we are able to work through almost any weather conditions while we finish installing your new roof.

How Long Does It Take To Replace a Roof?



How long it takes to replace a roof will depend on various factors, but in general, smaller and medium-sized homes usually take 1-3 days to re-roof, while larger homes may require up to a week or more of work. Our roofers always strive to get started on a job right away, though depending on the time of year and scheduling, we may need to wait a week or so before we begin the service process.

What Is the Best Material for Roof Replacement & Installation?



The three most common types of roofing materials are composite, metal, and PVC. While roughly 90% of all roofs are made of these reliable materials, Pro Roofing NW offers other quality roofing systems as well, including cedar shake roofing.

How Much Will It Cost to Replace My Roof?



The cost of roof replacement will depend on various factors, including the size of your roof, its pitch (i.e. what angle it is on,) and what materials you are using. Taking all these factors into account, the overall cost can range anywhere between $5,000 and $25,000. It's important to note that while the cost to replace a roof may seem high, it's a necessary investment for the safety and structural integrity of your property.

What Are the Signs That My Roof Needs to Be Replaced?



There are several common signs that indicate your roof needs to be replaced, the most common of which is a roof leak. A leak not only suggests that there is a hole somewhere on your roof, but it may also signify that there is additional damage to your roof deck and the drywall in your home. Sagging roofs are also a major sign it’s time for a replacement, as are shingles that are curling, missing, or just worn down. Sediment in your gutters, indicating that your shingles are losing granules, is another important sign that you may need to consider roof replacement.

How Often Should I Replace My Roof?



In wetter climates, roofing systems may need to be replaced sooner than in areas where the weather is more temperate. Seattle gets an average of 39 inches of rain per year, while greater King County receives roughly 46 inches of rainfall every year, compared to the national average of 38 inches. So, in general, you can expect to replace roofing systems in the larger Seattle area every 17-22 years.

Roof Installation

What’s Better, Metal Roofing or Shingles?



A well-maintained metal roof can last between 30 and 70 years, depending on what type of metal is used. Metal roof systems also tend to be more impact resistant, and generally hold up better against wind, cracks, and erosion. They also reflect solar heat that can drive down cooling costs and can, on occasion, be made of recycled, green roofing materials. Shingles, on the other hand, tend to be more versatile and work for many different types of houses. They are also less expensive to install than metal roofing, and although they do not last as long, they can be replaced fairly easily.

Roof Repair

What Should I Do If My Roof Has a Leak?



If you are experiencing a roof leak, make sure to call our efficient roofers ASAP. We will make sure your roof gets the fast service it needs and will implement a short-term fix if necessary while our roofers evaluate whether you need larger roof repairs or a replacement.

How Much Does the Average Roof Repair Cost?



The cost of roof repair depends on the extent of the damage and what type of material your roofing system is constructed from. Typically, the average roof repair can cost anywhere between several hundred and several thousand dollars. However, it is sometimes more cost-efficient in the long run to replace your roof entirely, especially with an outstanding Lifetime Warranty from Pro Roofing NW, if the damage is found to be too extensive.

Roof Maintenance

How Often Should My Roof be Professionally Cleaned?



Ideally, you should have your roof inspected and cleaned once or twice a year. This will help maintain the structural integrity of your roof and increase your property’s aesthetic value. While some companies may try to upsell you on packages to get your roof cleaned multiple times a year, Pro Roofing NW promises to assess the needs of your roof specifically, using hi-tech tools that ensure your roof receives the cleaning it needs.

Roofing Services

Do You Offer Free Estimates?



Yes! Pro Roofing NW does offer free estimates, though we recommend you set aside an hour or two for this process, so our experts can thoroughly assess the condition of your roof and recommend any services that may be required.

Should I Get a Second Opinion on Roofing Service?



As professional roofers, we highly encourage you to get a second opinion on all roofing jobs. Pro Roofing NW is confident we have the qualifications needed to fulfill all your roofing needs, however, we also strongly believe in the customer doing their due diligence prior to larger projects, like roof replacement.

Can I Hire a Handyman for Roofing Work?



Pro Roofing NW always recommends hiring a licensed and certified roofer any time you need roofing work completed. The average handyman may not be equipped or licensed to provide the complex services required to fix the average roofing system, and the benefits you can receive with our highly trained project managers, foremen, and other team members is immeasurable.

Who Will be Completing My Roofing Service?



At Pro Roofing NW, all roofing services will be completed by our highly skilled team members. Our crew is led by a certified Owens Corning Preferred Contractor and CertainTeed Select Shingle Master, so you know you can always count on our work to live up to the highest industry standards.

Gutters
