My roof is leaking—does this mean I need a full replacement?

Not necessarily. Often, a roof leak can be resolved with a targeted repair rather than a full replacement. The best way to determine the right solution is to have our team perform a thorough inspection. Acting quickly can prevent further damage and potential issues like mold, so don’t hesitate to reach out for an assessment.

How long will it take to install a new roof?

The time needed for a new roof installation depends on the roof’s size and any repairs required beneath it. For most projects, our team can complete the installation within 1-2 days.

What if the weather forecast isn’t ideal on the day the work is scheduled? What is your process?

At RSW Roofing, safety is a top priority for both our clients and our crews. We monitor weather conditions closely to ensure safe and effective roofing work. If high winds or rain are in the forecast, we will reach out to discuss any potential safety concerns and may reschedule to ensure the best conditions for your project’s success.

What safety precautions do you have in place?

Roof installation is one of the most challenging and safety-sensitive jobs in construction, and we take every precaution to protect our team and your property. Our trained crew supervises the project closely from start to finish, adhering to strict safety protocols. If you have any questions or concerns during the process, feel free to contact our team for a prompt response.

How do I know if I need a new roof?

Several factors can indicate the need for a new roof, with age being one of the most important. If your roof is 20 years old or more, it may be time to consider a replacement. Additionally, if your area recently experienced severe weather, an inspection is essential to check for any damage. Scheduling an annual inspection can also help you maximize your roof’s lifespan.

Repair or replace my roof?

Our thorough inspection process identifies any issues, big or small, to help you decide whether a simple repair, maintenance, or a complete roof replacement is needed. The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) recommends that homeowners have their roofs inspected twice a year. Contact RSW Roofing to schedule your inspection and make an informed decision about your roof’s needs.

Before I get a new roof, what is the best underlayment to use to prevent future leaks?

At RSW Roofing, we recommend using a high-quality ice and water shield as an underlayment across the entire roof. This material, made from polyethylene and rubberized asphalt, creates a waterproof barrier to protect against water that might seep under the shingles. It helps prevent potential interior damage to your ceilings and walls. We also install metal flashing in the valleys of your roof for additional

protection.

My roof has black stains—what does it mean?

Black stains on your roof are often caused by algae growth on or beneath the shingles. While the stains may look unsightly, they can be addressed with proper prevention and treatment. Our experienced roofing inspectors can diagnose the issue and recommend solutions to prevent further damage.

One option is installing zinc or copper strips near the roof’s ridge. When it rains, these strips release ions that help inhibit algae growth. If you’re consider

a roof replacement, we can also recommend algae-resistant shingles with warranties for long-term protection.

I have shingles on one side of my house hanging over the gutters. Is this normal?

his may indicate an installation issue. Shingles should typically extend only ½ to ¾ inch beyond the drip edge of the roof. If they hang further, it could lead to problems over time. During an inspection, we can evaluate the situation and provide the necessary repairs to ensure your roof functions properly.

I need to re-roof, but my roof has two or more layers of shingles. Do I need to have them removed?

Yes, it’s necessary to remove all existing layers of shingles before installing a new roofing system. This allows us to inspect the underlying structure to ensure it’s in good condition and capable of supporting the new roof. Removing extra layers also reduces unnecessary weight, improves the roof’s appearance, and ensures better longevity. Additionally, many warranties only cover roofs with a

single layer of shingles.

How often should I have my roof inspected?

The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) recommends having your roof inspected twice a year to ensure it remains in good condition. Regular inspections help identify and address potential issues before they become costly repairs, giving you peace of mind and prolonging the life of your roof.

How will you protect my landscaping, kids, and pets during the roofing process?

At RSW Roofing, we take every precaution to protect your property and family during our work. We use a specialized system to safeguard the area around your home, catching debris and nails during the roof tear-off. Once the job is complete, our team thoroughly cleans the area and uses a magnetic tool to collect any remaining nails. This ensures your landscaping remains intact, and your property is safe for your children and pets, leaving your lawn looking just as it did before we started.

At RSW Roofing, exceptional communication is one of our core values. You’ll have a dedicated team keeping you informed throughout every stage of your project.

FAQ image

Do I need to worry about icicles on my roof in the winter?

While icicles may look charming, they can signal a problem known as ice dams. Ice dams form when snow on your roof melts and refreezes before draining properly. This buildup can block water, forcing it under your shingles and potentially causing leaks. During an inspection, our team can discuss this issue with you and recommend solutions to prevent ice dams and protect your roof.

Commercial Roofing

What factors can affect the longevity of my roofing system?

Several factors can influence the lifespan of your roof, including weather conditions, sun exposure, installation quality, the condition of the roof decking, roof slope, and foot traffic. Proper maintenance and timely repairs can help extend the life of your roofing system.

How does insurance work with commercial properties?

RSW Roofing will assist you in navigating the insurance process for your commercial property. While the process can be complex, our experienced team is here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring a smooth experience and helping restore your property to its optimal condition.

Which roofs provide Class A fire-rated status?

Roofing systems such as TPO membranes and EPDM can achieve a Class A fire-resistant rating through Underwriters Laboratories (UL). This rating is attained by incorporating fire-retardant chemicals into the materials, offering an added layer of protection for your property.

Do you work with HOAs and apartment complexes?

Yes, RSW Roofing has extensive experience working with multi-family units and homeowners’ associations (HOAs). We can guide you through product options and necessary services while ensuring the project meets your community’s specific requirements.

I have a gravel asphalt roof. What maintenance do I need to avoid issues?

Proper installation is key, but ongoing maintenance is equally important. Annual inspections and good record-keeping can help extend the life of your gravel asphalt roof. Regularly clearing loose gravel from gutters and drains is essential to prevent clogs and maintain the integrity of the roofing system.

What is the difference between TPO and EPDM?

The primary difference lies in how the seams are joined. TPO roofing uses a hot-air gun to fuse the seams, creating a watertight bond. EPDM, on the other hand, uses seam tape for adherence. Both materials offer durable solutions, but the choice often depends on specific project requirements.

Emergency Roofing

Does a roof leak mean I need a full replacement?

Not necessarily. Many leaks can be resolved with focused repairs rather than replacing the entire roof. To determine the best course of action, we recommend scheduling a detailed inspection with our team. Acting quickly can help prevent further damage and avoid complications like mold growth.
