Metal roofs start around $15,000. We provide free on-site estimates with exact pricing. **Q: How long does a roof replacement take?** A: Most residential roofs are completed in 1-3 days. Larger or more complex projects (steep pitch, multiple stories, extensive deck repair) may take up to 5 days. Weather delays are communicated promptly. **Q: Do you help with insurance claims?** A: Yes. We provide free storm damage inspections, prepare detailed photo documentation, meet with your insurance adjuster on-site, and file supplements if the initial estimate is insufficient. There is no extra charge for this service. **Q: What roofing materials do you use?** A: We are an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor and primarily install Owens Corning Duration, Duration STORM, and TruDefinition architectural shingles. We also install metal standing-seam systems and flat-roof membranes (TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen). **Q: What warranty options are available?** A: Every job includes our 10-year workmanship warranty. Through the Owens Corning Preferred Contractor program, we also offer the System Protector warranty (25 years) and the Platinum Protection warranty (50-year lifetime, non-prorated, transferable to a new homeowner). **Q: Are you licensed and insured?** A: Yes. SC Trade License #65625 (expires 06/30/2027), $1M+ general liability insurance, fully bonded, BBB accredited, and Thumbtack Top Pro 2024. **Q: Do you offer financing?** A: Yes. We offer financing options through third-party lending partners with terms ranging from 12 to 144 months. Ask your project manager for details during your estimate. **Q: Can you repair my roof instead of replacing it?** A: In many cases, yes. If the damage is localized -- a few missing shingles, a single leak, or isolated flashing failure -- a repair is often the most cost-effective solution. We will always recommend repair when it makes sense and be transparent when replacement is the better long-term investment. **Q: How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced?** A: Common signs include shingles that are curling, cracking, or missing; granule loss visible in gutters; daylight visible through the attic; sagging roof deck; and age over 20 years. We offer free inspections to assess your roof's condition. **Q: Do you work on commercial buildings?** A: Yes. We install and repair TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen flat-roof systems for commercial properties, HOA clubhouses, multi-family buildings, and retail/office spaces. **Q: What is the Annual Maintenance Plan?** A: For $999/year, you receive two scheduled inspections (spring and fall), priority scheduling, minor repair coverage up to $500 per visit, gutter cleaning, written condition reports, and a 10% discount on additional work. **Q: What areas do you serve?** A: We serve the greater Charleston, Summerville, Mt. Pleasant, Goose Creek, Hilton Head, Bluffton, and Savannah metro areas.
