Shingle or metal?
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most common choice and cost less up front. Metal roofing costs more but sheds snow, handles high wind and can last decades longer. We’ll price both if you’re deciding.
How long does it take?
Most homes take one to three days on the roof, depending on size, pitch, how many layers come off and the weather. You’ll get a schedule with your estimate.
