Question 1

How do I know if I need a new roof?

Accepted Answer

Several signs indicate your roof may need replacement. Look for missing, cracked, or curling shingles that indicate weathering damage. Interior signs include water stains on ceilings, daylight visible through roof boards, or increasing energy bills. Sagging roof sections suggest structural issues requiring immediate attention. Most asphalt shingle roofs last 20-25 years, so age is an important factor. We offer free roof inspections to assess condition and provide honest recommendations.

Question 2

Do you work with insurance companies on storm damage claims?

Accepted Answer

Yes, True Contracting LLC has extensive experience working with insurance companies on storm damage claims throughout South Jersey and Greater Philadelphia. We document damage thoroughly with photos and detailed reports to support your claim. We meet with insurance adjusters, provide supplemental documentation when needed, and help ensure you receive fair compensation for necessary repairs. Our team guides you through the entire claims process from start to finish.

Question 3

How long does roof replacement take?

Accepted Answer

Most residential roof replacements are completed in 1-3 days, depending on roof size, complexity, and weather conditions. A typical single-family home with straightforward roof lines can often be completed in a single day. Larger homes, multi-story properties, steep pitches, and complex roof designs with multiple valleys and dormers may require 2-3 days. We work efficiently while never compromising on quality or safety. Weather delays are communicated promptly.

Question 4

How much does a new roof cost?

Accepted Answer

Roof replacement costs depend on several factors including roof size, pitch, complexity, and material selection. Standard architectural asphalt shingles typically range from $8-$12 per square foot installed. Premium designer shingles run $12-$18 per square foot. Additional costs may apply for decking repairs, complex roof lines, steep pitches, and tear-off of multiple layers. We provide detailed, transparent quotes after inspecting your specific roof and discussing material options.

Question 5

What roofing materials do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We install a variety of quality roofing materials to suit different needs and budgets. Architectural asphalt shingles remain our most popular option, offering excellent durability and value with 30-50 year warranties. Premium designer shingles provide enhanced aesthetics and extended lifespans. We also install metal roofing for superior longevity, flat roof systems including TPO and EPDM, and can accommodate special requests. We help you select materials that match your goals and budget.

Question 6

What is the difference between architectural and 3-tab shingles?

Accepted Answer

Three-tab shingles are the traditional, flat-profile option that was standard for decades. They're lighter, less expensive, and typically carry 20-25 year warranties. Architectural shingles (also called dimensional or laminated shingles) feature a multi-layered design creating depth and shadow lines that mimic natural slate or wood shake. They're heavier, more wind-resistant, and carry 30-50 year warranties. The price difference is modest, making architectural shingles the preferred choice for most homeowners.

Question 7

Do you install gutters along with roofing?

Accepted Answer

Yes, gutter installation and replacement is a natural complement to roofing projects and we offer comprehensive gutter services. New seamless aluminum gutters in various colors can be installed during or after your roof replacement. We also install gutter guards to reduce maintenance, downspout extensions, and splash blocks for proper water management. Coordinating gutter work with roofing ensures proper integration and protects your entire roof drainage system.

Question 8

What should I do if my roof is leaking?

Accepted Answer

If you discover a roof leak, take immediate steps to minimize damage. Place containers under drips to collect water and move valuables away from affected areas. If safe to access, check your attic to identify the leak source and extent of damage. Document everything with photos for insurance purposes. Contact True Contracting LLC promptly for emergency roof repair service. We respond quickly to leaks to prevent further damage to your home's structure and interior.

Question 9

How do you protect my property during roof replacement?

Accepted Answer

Property protection is a top priority during every roofing project. We place tarps and boards over landscaping, cover vehicles if needed, and install magnetic rollers to collect nails. Careful debris management prevents damage to siding, windows, and outdoor features. We use dump trailers or containers for old materials rather than piling debris on your lawn. Thorough cleanup including magnetic sweeping of your entire property is completed before we leave.

Question 10

What warranty do you offer on roofing work?

Accepted Answer

True Contracting LLC provides comprehensive warranty protection on all roofing installations. Our workmanship warranty covers labor and installation for 10 years, ensuring any installation-related issues are addressed at no cost. Additionally, shingle manufacturers provide material warranties ranging from 30 years to lifetime coverage depending on the product selected. We're certified installers for major brands, which enables enhanced warranty options. Complete warranty documentation is provided at project completion.
