FAQs
What are some unexpected costs I should prepare for when a roofer repairs my roof?
While a roofer should provide a comprehensive quote, some unexpected costs can arise once work begins and the underside of the roof is exposed. One common issue is wood rot under the shingles and felt. If the wood has begun to rot, it will need to be replaced before new materials can be installed. This wood repair usually incurs an additional charge unless the quote includes a set number of wood repairs. At Highland Roofing Group, we aim to provide thorough inspections and clear quotes to minimize surprises.
Why does a roof leak?
A roof leak is typically caused by issues with elements that penetrate the roof line, such as vent pipes, walls, or chimneys, rather than a direct failure of the shingles themselves. The flashing, which bridges the gap between these protrusions and the roof, can fail, leading to leaks. Common leak points include chimneys, vent pipes, and antennas. If not installed correctly, leaks can occur quickly, but it may take time for stains to appear inside the home. Therefore, leaks might go unnoticed for an extended period before becoming visible.
How long should it take?
Great question! A roof is a complex system of detailed parts, and rushing the installation can lead to mistakes and future leaks. Typically, the time required depends on several factors: Crew Size: A large crew can complete the work faster; a smaller crew will take longer. Roof Size: A roof of 20 squares or less usually takes 1-2 days. Larger roofs (over 20 squares) can take 2-5 days, depending on complexity. Attention to Detail: It's essential to install the roof carefully to ensure quality and longevity.
Is price or quality more important when replacing my roof?
Both price and quality are crucial when replacing your roof, but one should not be sacrificed for the other. Highland Roofing Group offers fair pricing that ensures above-average quality for roof replacements in Atlanta. Investing in a quality roof upfront can prevent costly repairs down the road, which often result from cheap, sub-par installations. Trust Highland Roofing Group to provide a balanced approach, combining competitive pricing with high-quality workmanship for long-lasting roofing solutions.
How does a roofer know how to fix a roof leak?
There is no formal school for roofing in Atlanta; skills are typically learned through hands-on experience or apprenticeships. At Highland Roofing Group, we have developed a system to ensure all our roofers are trained in the best methods to repair roofs correctly. We believe there is a right and wrong way to fix a roof, and our skilled team is equipped to do the job right the first time.
