Frequently Asked Questions about Residential Roofing

How do I know if I need a roof repair or a full replacement?

Several factors determine the best course of action. Generally, if your roof is over 15-20 years old, has widespread shingle curling or granule loss, or shows multiple leaks, a replacement is often the most cost-effective solution. For isolated damage on a younger roof, a professional repair is usually sufficient. We provide an honest assessment to help you decide.

How does Ann Arbor’s weather impact my roof?

Ann Arbor’s four distinct seasons pose unique challenges. Winter brings heavy snow and the risk of ice dams, which can force water under your shingles. Summer’s heat and UV rays can accelerate aging, while strong thunderstorms can cause wind and hail damage. A properly installed roofing system from New Roof, Inc. is designed to handle all of these local conditions, especially critical components like attic ventilation and storm damage preparedness.

What makes your 40+ years of experience so valuable?

Experience translates into accuracy. An experienced roofer can spot subtle signs of underlying deck rot or poor ventilation that a less experienced contractor might miss. This diagnostic skill saves homeowners money and prevents the same problem from recurring. It’s the difference between a temporary patch and a long-term solution.
