Questions about this service
Can a roof be repaired instead of replaced?
Often yes. It depends on the age of the covering, how widespread the failure is and what condition the deck underneath is in. We will tell you honestly which one your roof needs.
How soon can you look at a leak?
Send the address and a description and we will arrange a visit. Active leaks are treated as a priority.
Do you work on flat and pitched roofs?
Yes. Flat roof systems, pitched shingle roofs and the transitions between them are all part of the work.
