What we offer

The foundation everything else sits on.

A roof is the most expensive surface on your house. We treat it like it — careful tear-offs, full deck inspections, and clean installs that hold up.

  • Full roof replacements

    Tear-off, deck inspection, underlayment, and new shingles — done right the first time so the next project on top (panels, solar attic vents) lands on a solid foundation.

  • Repairs that hold

    Leaks, storm damage, missing shingles, flashing failures. We fix the cause, not just the symptom.

  • Pre-solar inspections

    Considering panels? We assess roof age, condition, and load capacity before you commit. Better to replace once than disturb a system later.

  • Licensed, bonded, insured

    Every crew on your roof is covered. You won’t be holding the bag if something goes wrong.

Roofing FAQs

Questions worth asking.

Do I need a new roof before adding solar?

If your roof has fewer than 10 years of life left, replacing it before solar is almost always cheaper than removing and reinstalling panels later. We’ll tell you straight after an inspection.

How long does a typical replacement take?

Most single-family roofs are done in 1–2 days, weather permitting. We coordinate around solar installs so the two projects don’t conflict.

What warranty do you offer?

Manufacturer warranties on the shingles plus our own workmanship warranty on the install. Specifics depend on the product line — we’ll lay it out in the quote.
