1 . How will I know it ’ s time to replace my roof ? There are obvious signs like missing or curling shingles , delamination , or granular loss . Delamination occurs when the layers of the shingle separate . Granular loss happens when weather , sun and run-off cause the grit on the top layer of the shingle to shed . The age of the roof plays a huge factor too . If it ’ s been twenty-plus years , it ’ s likely the integrity of your roof is compromised and should be inspected .
2 . How can I choose the best siding color for my home ? If you ’ re looking for some quick inspiration to guide your decision , your roof color is a great place to start . Since new roofs last for decades , its color can be the anchor for your color scheme . Ask yourself , is it a neutral , cool , or warm tone ? From there , you can narrow down your preferences . We also have samples and tools , like state-of-the-art modeling technology , which can make visualizing your home ’ s color transformation a breeze .
3 . Should I switch to New Construction windows ? Selecting new windows for your home can be confusing . One thing that can trip people up is the installation method , which varies from “ new construction ” to “ replacement .” A good rule of thumb is to replace your windows “ like for like ,” meaning if you have replacement windows now , that would be the easiest and most cost effective choice for your home . Be aware when switching to a new construction style , you ’ ll likely need to replace both the interior and exterior trim and / or the surrounding siding , leading to a higher cost and mismatched shingles .
4 . How much money should I expect to put down ? We don ’ t take any money down , but it varies by company . Deposits range from 30-50 percent up front , with most contractors requiring 60 percent or more before the project even starts . If you do hire a company that takes a deposit , keep in mind , as soon as the money leaves your pocket , you ’ ve made yourself vulnerable to issues with quality , communication and delays . We prefer to create a mutual relationship built on trust , and that ’ s a big reason why we only accept payment when a job is complete .
