Colorado Roofing Repair - FAQs to know before hiring a Roofing Contractor

Re-roofing? What to expect during the process.

Roofing your home may seem like a large undertaking. We would like to provide you with information and put you at ease with the process.

Colorado Roofing Repair understands and respects our customer's concerns, and their need for privacy. We strive to not only install the highest quality roof with utmost craftsmanship, but to get it done in the shortest period of time possible. Thus minimize stress for the homeowner.

To every job, we bring the man power and modern equipment needed to get the job done right, and get it done quickly.

In preparation for the roofing process, following are some items to consider;

•Traffic:
If your old roof is being torn off, we will be placing a full size dumpster, or dumpster trailer as close to your home as possible to minimize debris falling in your yard. We will also have several trucks near your home, we will do our best to keep your access open to your driveway. This may mean that we will have to park one or more trucks in front of your neighbors home. If you are concerned that your neighbors will feel inconvenienced, you may want to notify them of the work being done so they are prepared.

•Noise:
During the roofing process, as with any construction project, there will be noise inside the house and out, that you are not accustomed to. We will be using electric and pneumatic powered tools, along with some hand tools.

•Vibration:
While work is in progress, we will be loading and moving material, and other operations that will cause vibrations to the interior walls and ceiling of your home. We are very careful and respectful of your property, but total elimination of vibrations is impossible. If you feel that this vibration would cause any disturbance of pictures, or light fixtures such as ceiling fans or chandeliers, you should remove those items from the walls / ceiling to prevent damage. We will be happy to assist you if needed.

•Debris:
There will be debris from any construction project, most debris comes from a tear off. We try very hard to make sure that all debris is removed from the area the day we tear off, and again when we are finished with the project. We ask that you take precautions while we are there and stay clear of the debris until we have had a chance to remove it. Once we have left, we recommend you inspect your yard for any small nails or wood prior to mowing.

•Landscaping:
As mentioned before, when we tear off an old roof, debris will fall to the ground, this could include flower beds, shrubs, bushes, if close to your house. We will make every attempt to protect the landscaping you have worked so hard on. We ask that you assist us in this process, by informing us of any particularly delicate items, and suggest or put in place the adequate protection. We are there to enhance the beauty of your home.

We thank you for taking the time to let us inform you of the roofing process. We pride ourselves in making this process pleasant, rewarding, and educational for our customers from the very first phone call to the time the job is completed.

Question: Do you provide free estimates?

Answer: Yes, our estimates are typically free of charge. We appreciate the opportunity to provide you with our bid for services. We value our potential customers, we do not consider it an inconvenience to look at your project.

Question: Can you just go over the top of my existing roof material instead of tearing it off?

Answer: Sometimes we can, depending on the condition of the existing materials, the substrate (deck) and which county your located in, as some counties will only allow more than one layer of roofing. We are required to comply with city building codes and our own strict standards. For example, if your roof has two layers of shingles already, we have no choice but to remove them (tear off). Evidence of substrate / deck deterioration will also require a "tear off" in order to repair affected areas.

We feel that tearing off the existing materials, inspecting the substrate / deck and the general integrity of the roof structure and components, then installing a quality roof is typically the best course of action.

Question: How long will it take to complete my roof?

Answer: On average, three to five days for residential roofs. There are exceptions to this rule. Roofs that are, larger than average, in need of extensive structural repairs, or roofs where we are installing specialty materials, will of course require more time to complete.

We have found this question is asked by customers after they have seen another roofing company take two weeks or longer to complete a job on an average size home in the neighborhood. We understand the inconvenience of having people you do not know around your house, on your roof, interrupting your regularly scheduled life. We come to each job site with the man power, knowledge, skill, professionalism and equipment to complete the job in a timely manner. However, rest assured we will never jeopardize our quality craftsmanship to hurry a job along.

Commercial projects do not have an average time frame due to the vast size difference in commercial buildings. We will give you an expected time frame for completion upon commencement of the project.
