Top Roofing Questions Answered

Introduction

At Champion Restoration and Construction, we understand that homeowners have many questions about their roofing needs. Here, we answer some of the most frequently asked questions to help you make informed decisions about your roof.

How can I determine if my roof requires replacement?

Most roofs have a lifespan of 15 to 20 years. Signs that you may need a replacement include:

  • Curled or missing shingles
  • Leaking
  • Impact damage
  • Mold or water damage
  • Bald spots

What is the usual timeframe for replacing a roof?

The duration depends on the size of your home and the type of roof. Generally, most homes can be completed in a day’s work.

How much does a new roof typically cost?

Costs vary based on the size of your home and the type of roof. Schedule a free appointment with us for an on-the-spot estimate tailored to your budget.

Will I need to replace the entire roof if there’s a leak?

This depends on the cause and extent of the leak. Old, damaged roofs with significant issues often require replacement. However, newer roofs in good condition may only need repair work.

What is causing the discoloration of my shingles?

Discoloration, often seen as black streaks, is typically caused by roof algae (Gloeocapsa). This algae feeds on the limestone minerals in shingles and becomes visible as it accumulates.

How can I locate a roofing company that I can rely on?

Look for reputable, local companies with solid track records. Champion Restoration and Construction is an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor with a history of satisfied customers and high ratings.
