At Wallace Home Improvement, accessing your roof is critical to our job, and we take it seriously. Our team uses industry-standard ladders and safety gear to climb onto your roof. We always ensure that our equipment is in top condition to ensure our team's and your property's safety.

Before we start, we assess the specifics of the property, such as the height of the building, the slope of the roof, and any potential obstacles that may be in the way. This allows us to determine the best and safest way to access your roof.

We also understand that our work can sometimes disrupt your daily routine. That's why we make it a point to communicate our action plan to you before we start. This includes explaining how we will access the roof, the safety measures we'll implement, and how we intend to minimize any potential inconvenience for you.

Our main goal is not just to do our job but to do it in a way that maintains your home's integrity and ensures everyone's safety.

Determining whether your roof needs a complete replacement or just some repairs can take time and effort. Here are a few signs that you might need a new roof:

1. Age: Most roofs last between 20 and 25 years. If your roof is within this age range, it might be time for a replacement.
2. Multiple Leaks: If you're experiencing several leaks, even after repairs, this could indicate more serious issues that require a new roof.
3. Damaged Shingles: If many of your shingles are cracked, curled, or missing, a roof replacement might be in order.
4. Granules in Gutters: Finding a lot of granules from your shingles in your gutters can mean your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan.
5. Sagging Roof: A sagging roof is a clear sign of serious structural issues that often necessitate a new roof.

If you need clarification on the condition of your roof, it's always best to consult a professional. At Wallace Home Improvement, we provide thorough roof inspections and can advise you on the best course of action for your specific situation.

The duration of a reroofing project can vary depending on several factors. These include the size of your home, the type of roofing materials used, and the weather conditions during the project.

A complete reroofing job usually takes 2 to 5 days for an average-sized house. However, if your home is more significant or the roof is complex with many peaks and valleys, it could take up to a week or more.

Weather also plays a significant role. If we encounter rain, strong winds, or other adverse weather conditions, we may need to pause work until conditions improve to ensure the safety of our crew and the integrity of the project.

Please note these are general estimates. At Wallace Home Improvement, we provide a more accurate timeline after thoroughly assessing your specific roofing needs. Rest assured, our team always strives to complete your reroofing project efficiently without compromising quality.

The cost of a new roof can vary greatly and is influenced by several factors. These include the size and complexity of your roof, the materials chosen, labor costs, and whether the old roof needs to be removed first. 

On average, homeowners can expect to pay anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 for a new asphalt shingle roof. However, the cost can go significantly higher if you opt for higher-end materials like slate or tile. 

It's also important to factor in additional costs like permits, inspections, and repairs to the underlying roof structure.

Keep in mind these are rough estimates. We provide detailed, personalized estimates at Wallace Home Improvement after thoroughly assessing your specific roofing needs. We believe in transparency and will walk you through all the costs involved so there are no surprises.

Investing in a new roof is a significant decision and can significantly enhance the value of your home. Choosing a trusted and experienced roofing contractor is crucial to ensure the job is done right.
