Common signs to look for are missing shingles, water stains inside the home, exposed roof components that look out of place, asphalt coming off the roof, and signs of mildew. If you notice any of these indicators, reach out to the expert roofers at AD Roofing. We can get you started today with a free estimate on our 24/7 emergency services!

Perhaps you've done your springtime maintenance and noticed a few missing shingles, or one morning you wake up and the bathroom ceiling has a leak stain. In the case of a roofing leak, you have options. 

Sometimes, people ask if they need a new roof because of a leak, and the answer is that it always depends. Factors such as the age of your current roof, the current warranty (if there is one), and the scope of your roof leak will ultimately determine the next steps. In either case, the first step is to always get the issue inspected by an honest residential roofing company. 

The damage on your roof causing the leak — a few missing shingles or a more serious problem — will also determine your appropriate actions. Sometimes, a simple roof repair is the answer. You should then call your insurance company to see if your roof qualifies for coverage.

This may be the most common question our residential roofers hear. The answer varies depending on a few factors. First and foremost, the size of your roof will ultimately determine how much a new roof costs. According to our expert roofers, roofs are measured by what's called a "square,” which is the equivalent of 100 square feet of coverage. Pricing is done per square, which includes tearing off the existing shingles, laying the new garment, and installing the asphalt shingles.

The cost per square is also determined by the type of shingles a homeowner chooses. In our complete roof pricing guide, we share that shingle prices per square include:

• Three Tab Shingles: $380 per square 
• Archinetcutual Shingles: $400 to $425 per square 

Using these numbers, an average-sized home at about 20 squares would run a homeowner anywhere from $7,600 to $8,000. While this is just an estimate and assumes there are no extras needed, (like replacing plywood, fixing flashing, etc.) the price is determined by the size of your roof! A townhome is typically much cheaper than $7,600, just like a larger home with a hip roof will be more.

Whether you just got a new roof or have a roof that's a few years old, most have warranties in our experience. Similar to roofing prices, warranties vary depending on the roofing contractors that work on your home and the types of shingles you choose. For example, we've found that the Landmark Pro Architectural shingles (the best) come with a 15-year 110 mph wind-resistance warranty in addition to a 50-year limited transferable warranty against manufacturing defects. That being said, product warranties are determined by the shingle supply company like Certainteed or Ownes Corning. The labor warranty depends on the shingle installer, but AD Roofing offers a 15-year labor warranty.

In our experience, the most common material used by roofing companies is asphalt shingles, which happens to also be the most durable and affordable. According to RubyHome, an online real estate resource, asphalt shingles are used in 75% of roofing projects. However, not all asphalt shingles are created equally. Our roofing professionals have found that manufacturing technology has increased tenfold over the years and shingles from 2005 pale in comparison to asphalt shingles in 2021.

That being said, we've found that the most common type of asphalt shingles are “three-tab shingles.” Three-tab shingles are hardy, affordable, frequently used, and come in a variety of colors. However, they don’t look or perform as well as the super-durable architectural shingles. Architectural shingles give the look of cedar shingles and are more durable because they're thicker.

In our experience, the best roofers can replace a single-family home’s roof in one day. This includes removing the old shingles and underlayment and replacing them, and concluding with a thorough clean-up! Call AD Roofing today to get started with a free estimate on your roof replacement.

This is perhaps the best question we get, and the one you should ask the most before choosing a roofing company to install your new roof! Making informed purchasing decisions is vital, especially when it comes to your roof, which we recognize is not a small investment. That's why we put together this quick “Hiring a Roofing Contractor Checklist:”

• Is your company insured? 
• Is your company licensed? 
• Are you certified by the shingle manufacturer? (We are a certified Certainteed Shingle Master, for example)
• Is your roofing company a BBB-accredited business? 
• Do you have references and reviews?
• What does your roofing warranty look like?

By asking these questions, you'll be able to find quality roofing and siding companies near you. You can ask all these questions and more when you call AD Roofing for a free estimate!

The lifespan of the roof depends on several factors: material, shingle thickness, climate, weather conditions, and proper installation. Our expert roofers have found that traditional asphalt shingle roofs typically last between 12 to 20 years, while sleight tile and copper roofs may last upwards of 50 years. Thanks to their durability, metal roofs may enjoy a lifespan of 40 to 70 years. To learn more about the lifespan of your roof, call AD Roofing and learn what makes us the roofing and siding installer local homeowners prefer!

Not all leaks require a complete roof replacement, and whether you repair or replace your roof depends on the extent of the damage. On a relatively new roof, a few damaged or missing shingles may be cost-effective to repair. If the damage is more extensive and involves an older roof or multiple layers of roofing materials, a partial or complete replacement is likely in order. Call AD Roofing today to take a look at your leaks and find out what makes us the first choice for siding and roofing!

Slashing is a layer of waterproof material placed over roof joints. This keeps water from seeping into the vulnerable valleys of your roof, as well as gaps around chimneys, skylights, and pipes. If you need expert slashing installation, reach out to AD Roofing for reliable roofing and siding contractors!

Yes, we are happy to work with your insurance company and handle the paperwork. We’ll provide detailed estimates and inspections.

This depends on what you value most in your roof. The most affordable option is a shingle roof, but the most modern option is a metal roof. At AD Roofing, most of our customers choose metal or shingles. We’ll help you find the best option for your needs, preferences, and budget.
