FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are the basics I should know about my roof?
When it comes to roofing there is plenty of information, to the point that one can get overwhelmed. However, when you need work done on your home or business, there is certain information that is helpful to provide to a potential contractor. We usually request the following:
- Contact Information of Owner (or person in charge of the project)
- Age of roof
- Type of roof
- Symptoms or locations of problem areas or leaks
- Contact person who may be there for the inspection, project, and follow-up
- Any relevant information you can offer about the project (including insurance, unavailable times, air conditioners, etc.)
What types of warranties should I look for and how long do they usually last?
Every company is, as expected, different in what they will offer for coverage. Our rule of thumb is that the company should be in business at least as long as the warranty they desire to offer. We offer a wide range of protection, from 5 year up to 10 year no leak warranties. Each type of warranty can vary depending on the material used for your roof and what extra coverage you desire for the project, and there are also extended manufacturer's warranties available. Please view our Warranties page for more detailed information.
Can I have a new roof installed over my old one?
What kind of materials are available for my roof?
What is the difference between "built up", "torch down", and "spray foam"?
Torch down is a type of roofing that involves rolling out a type of tar roofing material over the roof and then is melted, using a torch, to seal against the roof. This and B.U.R. have been popular "cost effective" options for larger projects, such as apartment complexes. However, especially with torch down, they are not usually the safest options in the dry desert climate and offer minimal energy efficiency.
Spray foam is referring to Spray-Applied Polyurethane Foam. This revolutionary roofing material is not only safer and easier for both the roofer and the project, but it is part of a large movement towards "Building Green" around the world. The foam itself instantly beings to expand once applied, and within seconds has fully formed and even hardened enough to be stood on. This is the main waterproofing portion of the roof. The foam is then covered with a protective coating that not only keeps the foam protected from the UV rays, but also reflects a majority of

I am ready to sign or have already signed my contract! When will work begin on my roof?
While we would love to have you sign today and start the project tomorrow, this is not always possible due to weather, amount of business, and your own circumstances. Weather is a major influence on our type of business, especially with certain types of roofing materials. Wind, rain, and storms are key factors in scheduling jobs. As some coatings have a water base when applied, we would not wish to coat your roof only to have the rain wash it off while still wet. Similarly, we do not want to tear off your roof and leave it naked to the elements should there be a storm in the forecast! Please remember we take all these things into consideration in order to complete your project in a timely and convenient manner.
