Frequently Asked Roofing Questions

At Roofing Systems of America, we know that roofing projects can come with a lot of questions. Whether you’re concerned about roof repairs, replacements, insurance claims, or maintenance, we’ve compiled answers to the most frequently asked roofing questions to help you make informed decisions.

General Roofing Questions

✅ Signs you may need a roof replacement include:

  • Your roof is 20+ years old
  • Missing, cracked, or curling shingles
  • Frequent leaks or water damage inside your home
  • Dark streaks, mold, or moss growth
  • High energy bills due to poor roof insulation

✅ A typical roof replacement takes 1-3 days, depending on the size, complexity, and weather conditions.

✅ We offer a variety of roofing materials, including:

  • Asphalt shingles – Affordable and durable
  • Metal roofing – Energy-efficient and hurricane-resistant
  • Tile roofing – Long-lasting with excellent curb appeal
  • Flat roofing – Ideal for commercial and low-slope applications

Roof Repair & Maintenance

✅ We recommend at least one inspection per year and after any major storms. Regular inspections help detect small issues before they become costly problems.

✅ Signs your roof needs repairs include:

  • Leaks or water stains on ceilings
  • Missing or damaged shingles
  • Granules in the gutters (from deteriorating shingles)
  • Sagging roofline

✅ We don’t recommend DIY roof repairs—improper fixes can lead to worse damage, leaks, and voided warranties. It’s always best to hire a licensed roofing professional.

Insurance & Storm Damage

✅ If your roof was damaged by a storm, hail, or high winds, your homeowner’s insurance may cover some or all of the costs. We provide detailed inspections and documentation to help with insurance claims.

✅ If your roof sustains storm damage:

  1. Take photos of the damage.
  2. Contact us for a free inspection.
  3. File a claim with your insurance provider if needed.
  4. Schedule repairs or replacement to prevent further issues.

Skylights & Roofing Upgrades

✅ Yes! We install and replace Velux and American Custom Skylights, ensuring leak-free, energy-efficient solutions.

✅ Absolutely! A properly installed roof with quality insulation and ventilation can reduce cooling costs by reflecting heat and improving airflow.
