While every project is unique, most standard residential asphalt shingle replacements are completed in just 1 to 2 days. Custom standing seam metal roofs, ACM panels, or complex commercial installations take longer due to the precision fabrication required, but we will always provide a clear timeline before the project begins.
No, we are much more! While we are experts in residential and commercial roofing, we are also a true, full-service custom sheet metal fabrication shop. This means we design, cut, and bend our own metal in-house for things like ACM panels, restaurant awnings, decorative cornices, and custom flashings.
If your asphalt shingles are curling, cracking, losing excessive granules, or are over 15–20 years old, it is usually time for a replacement. If your roof is relatively new and the damage is localized (like a few blown-off shingles from a storm or a flashing leak), a targeted repair is often all you need. We will give you an honest assessment during your free inspection.
This is a very common myth! When installed properly over a solid wood roof deck and high-quality underlayment, a metal roof is no noisier than a standard asphalt shingle roof.
Absolutely. While the upfront cost is higher than asphalt shingles, a standing seam metal roof can last 50 years or more—meaning it is likely the last roof you will ever have to buy. It also provides incredible severe weather resistance and can lower your summer cooling bills by reflecting solar heat.
Yes. We install high-performance commercial metal roofing, commercial shingle roofing, and Flat Roofing such as TPO, PVC, EPDM and roof coatings.
We provide service to all commercial buildings including multi-family complexes, retail centers, agricultural buildings, and industrial facilities.
We are fully insured and experienced in managing projects with minimal disruption to your daily operations.
Yes! Roof coatings are considered a building maintenance rather than a building improvement - therefore Roof Coating Services are immediately tax deductible for commercial businesses.
Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) panels are lightweight, incredibly durable architectural panels used for building facades. They provide a perfectly flat, glass-like metal finish that instantly modernizes commercial storefronts and custom residential builds.
Yes. We stand behind our craftsmanship and the premium materials we use. We provide clear workmanship guarantees and will walk you through the manufacturer warranties available for your specific shingles, metal panels, or exterior siding before you sign any contract.
One of the best things about metal roofing and custom metal facades is that they are virtually maintenance-free! We recommend simply keeping your gutters clean, brushing away excessive debris (like large tree branches), and giving the surface an occasional rinse with a garden hose if dirt accumulates.
