How much does a new roof or roof repair cost?
The cost of a new roof can depend on many variables like the current condition and size of your roof, the materials used, time of year, etc. While it’s a good idea to get multiple quotes, our roofing team, at Carolina Custom Contractors, provide quality roofing services at an honest price.
What roofing options do I have?
Whether you’re looking to replace or repair a residential or commercial roofing system, there are many options to choose from. For residential homes, we use high-quality GAF brand shingles or can increase your home’s value with a sturdy metal roof. For commercial buildings, we offer Thermoplastic Polyolefin roofing (TPO roofing), PVC roofing, and complete coating systems.
Do I need to prepare anything before having a new roof installed?
Possibly. It’s a good idea to remove any hanging pictures or art that may fall due to the hammering on your roof. If time allows, clear off your driveway and around your home in case materials were to fall off the roof (we’ll also appreciate the extra room).
How long will my roof last?
Even the most expensive and well-maintained roofs have an expiration date. The average lifespan of a quality roof with biyearly maintenance is around 20 years. Depending on your location, the climate, and the maintenance done to it, your roof could last longer or not.
How can I recognize when my roof system has problems?
- Wet spots or water damage to your ceiling.
- Missing, broken, or curling shingles
- Lots of shingle granules in the gutters
- Your chimney’s masonry is cracked or chipped
