Yes and no. While some small roofing project can be completed by DIY homeowners, roof replacement and major repairs can be a dangerous and complex process. When in doubt, leave the job (and those safety concerns) in the hands of a certified professional.<\/p>\n
Note: DIY roofing jobs can also void your extended roof warranty. Make sure to contact the manufacturer before starting any DIY roofing projects.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n\nHow long does it take to replace or repair a roof?<\/h3>\nEvery roofing project is different, but you can expect the process to take anywhere from a few hours up to a few days depending on the repair or replacement necessary. At Tomlin Roofing Company, we do our best to provide an accurate estimation of the time your roofing project will require.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
\nCan I have my roof replaced or repaired in the winter?<\/h3>\n\n
While a roof replacement or repair rarely comes at a good time, if you find yourself in need of roofing work in the middle of the winter, it can become a bit more complicated. In areas that are prone to a lot of snow, mid-winter repairs can be challenging, but in Texas Hill Country, nearly every roofing project can be completed no matter what time of year.<\/p>\n
Note: it might make seem like a great idea to wait for Spring to complete those repairs but know that the longer you wait to do so, the more likely it is that a small problem will turn into a big (and more costly) one.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n\nMy roof leaks. Does it need to be replaced?<\/h3>\n\n
Not necessarily. Depending on the size and location of the leak, replacing a shingle or two might be all it takes to fix the problem. If you choose shingle replacement as a solution, it\u2019s important to have a professional inspection to verify the decking isn\u2019t damaged. Replacing shingles over compromised decking will only create larger issues in the future.<\/p>\n
When dealing with an older roof, you might find that one leak will turn into many over time. If that\u2019s the case, it might be time to consider replacing the entire roof.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
\nWhat will a new roof system cost?<\/h3>\nThe price of a new roof system depends on a lot of variables including: the materials chosen, the type and size of building, location, labor costs, the pitch of your roof, and even the time of year. Contact us today for a FREE roofing inspection and our professionals will provide you with the exact solutions (and costs) so that you can make an informed decision. No guesswork involved.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
\nHow long will my roof system last?<\/h3>\nThere are a lot of factors that go into determining how long your roof will last. Most roofs are designed to last between 15 and 25 years although that number vary widely depending on the actual material used, the weather patterns in your area, ongoing maintenance, and the quality of installation. <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
