FAQS

There are several indicators that your roof may need repair or replacement. These include missing or damaged shingles, water leaks, visible signs of wear and tear, sagging areas, excessive granule accumulation in gutters, or a roof that has surpassed its expected lifespan. It's crucial to have a professional inspection to accurately assess the condition of your roof and determine the best course of action. Dustin Hoffman Construction, LLC can proudly provide you with assistance.

The lifespan of a roof can vary significantly depending on several factors. The material used is a primary determinant, with asphalt shingles typically lasting 20-30 years, while metal, tile, and slate roofs can often exceed 50 years. The quality of installation and local climate conditions also play significant roles in determining a roof's longevity.

We offer a wide range of roofing materials to suit various needs and preferences. Our options include asphalt shingles (both 3-tab and architectural/composite), metal roofing (such as standing seam and corrugated), tile roofing (clay and concrete), slate, wood shakes, and flat roofing solutions (including TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen). Each material has its own set of advantages and considerations, which we'd be happy to discuss in detail.

Roof repair involves addressing specific, localized issues on your roof, such as fixing a leak or replacing a few damaged shingles. In contrast, roof replacement is a more comprehensive process where the entire existing roof is removed and a new roofing system is installed. The choice between repair and replacement depends on factors such as the extent of damage, the age of the roof, and its overall condition.

The cost of a new roof can vary considerably based on several factors. These include the size and pitch of your roof, its complexity, the chosen roofing material, local labor costs, and any necessary repairs to the underlying structure. We provide free, no-obligation estimates to give you an accurate idea of the cost for your specific roofing project.
