Roofing FAQs
Tom Buck, owner of Integrity Exterior Solutions, has been asked many questions regarding roof installation, repair and replacement. So he has compiled a helpful list of some of the most popular questions regarding cutters our clients have asked.
1. How long will it take to replace my roof?
It depends on the size and complexity of the roof. An average size roof is typically 15,000 to 25,000 SF and in most cases can be completed in one day. If you have a very complex or large roof then it may take longer. Extra time may be needed on average size roofs if there are multiple shingle layers that need removed.
2. What time of year is the best for a roof replacement?
It is best to do a roof replacement when the temps are between 40°F and 90°F. If the temp is outside that range extra time and care must be taken.
3. Should I replace my gutters at the same time as the roof?
The short answer is no, but it is recommended.
4. What should I do to get ready for my roofing project to begin?
You will want to keep your yard free from pets, children and personal items until the roofing project is complete. If you have a fenced in yard please keep your gates unlocked for our team until the project is complete.
5. How do you know when its time for a new roof?
Most roofing systems are good for between 30-50 years. But it is best to have a roof inspection done whenever extreme weather hits especially after a hail storm. As always Integrity Exterior Solutions offers free inspections.
6. What is the best shingle for my roof?
For most of our clients Architectural Shingles will be the best option. Integrity Exterior Solutions has many roofing options to choose from, contact us today for a free estimate.

8. How much will a new roof cost?
