Arrow Roofing

  • How do I know if I need a new roof or just a repair?

    When your roof shows localized damage such as missing shingles, minor leaks, or flashing problems, repairs might suffice. However, extensive damage, persistent leaks, shingles that are curling, or a roof that's over 20–25 years old typically means replacement is the more cost-effective long-term solution.
  • How long does a roof typically last?

    The lifespan of your roof varies based on the materials used and quality of installation: Asphalt shingles last 20–30 years, metal roofing can last 40–70 years, while tile or slate roofing can last 50–100+ years. Regular maintenance and adequate ventilation will help maximize your roof's lifespan.
  • How long does a roof replacement take?

    The majority of residential roof replacements can be finished within 1–2 days, though this timeline depends on your roof's size, the materials selected, weather conditions, and project complexity. More complex or larger roofs may require additional time to complete.
  • How much does a new roof cost?

    Several factors influence roofing costs: your roof's size and slope, the type of materials chosen, whether it's a tear-off or overlay project, plus labor costs and local market rates. Since pricing varies significantly, we recommend getting a professional inspection and detailed written estimate.
  • Do you offer free roof inspections or estimates?

    Yes, we provide complimentary inspections and detailed written estimates to evaluate any damage and discuss your options before beginning any work.
  • Will my homeowners insurance cover roof repairs or replacement?

    Homeowners insurance frequently covers roof damage resulting from storms, hail, wind, or other sudden weather events. However, it generally doesn't cover normal aging and wear. We can assist in documenting damage to support your insurance claim process.
  • What roofing materials do you offer?

    We provide several material options including asphalt shingles, metal roofing, tile or slate systems, and flat roofing solutions like TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen. The ideal choice for your home depends on your budget, local climate conditions, and architectural style.
  • Are you licensed and insured?

    Yes, Arrow Roofing maintains full licensing, bonding, and insurance coverage. This protects homeowners from potential liability while ensuring all work meets local building codes and regulations.
  • What warranties do you offer?

    We provide comprehensive warranty coverage that includes lifetime manufacturer warranties covering the materials. For workmanship, we offer a 1-year warranty covering our labor. The specific warranty terms depend on the materials selected and the scope of work performed.
  • Can a new roof increase my home's value?

    Absolutely. Installing a new roof enhances your home's curb appeal, increases resale value, and provides peace of mind to potential buyers. It's widely regarded as one of the most valuable home improvement investments you can make.
