Signs indicating your roof may need repair include leaks, missing or damaged shingles, sagging areas, or visible signs of water damage in your attic.

It's recommended to inspect your roof at least once a year, preferably in the spring or fall, and after severe weather events such as storms or heavy snowfall.

The duration of a roof repair can vary depending on the extent of the damage and the complexity of the repair needed. Minor repairs may take a few hours to complete, while more extensive repairs could take several days.

During a roof repair, expect the roofing contractor to conduct a thorough inspection, identify the source of the problem, and proceed with the necessary repairs using appropriate materials and techniques. The process may involve removing damaged materials, replacing shingles or flashing, and ensuring proper sealing to prevent leaks.

Whether insurance covers roof repairs depends on the cause of the damage, your insurance policy, and any applicable deductibles. Damage caused by covered perils such as wind, hail, or fire may be eligible for insurance coverage, but routine maintenance or wear and tear typically aren't covered.

The best roofing material for your repair depends on factors such as your budget, the slope of your roof, climate considerations, and aesthetic preferences. Common options include asphalt shingles, metal roofing, or flat roofing materials like EPDM or TPO.
