Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why charge a minimum service fee on roof repairs?
A minimum dispatch fee covers truck fuel, ladder setup, roof inspection, and insurance even on minor 1-hour shingle or vent boot repairs.
What are the most common sources of commercial and residential roof leaks?
Over 80% of roof leaks occur at penetrations and transitions—chimney counter-flashing, plumbing vent pipe boots, skylights, and roof valleys.
How does roof pitch impact repair time?
Low-slope roofs add roughly 10% to time and cost, while steep roofs (over 7/12 pitch) add 20% or more for harness tie-offs and staging.
