FAQ

In the world of roofing, looks can be deceiving. It all depends on the type of roof you have, its age, and the quality of its installation. Aged roofs can appear rough but may only require minor repairs. Any previous repairs and maintenance will also factor into your roof’s longevity. 

Our advice? Don’t be spooked by a quick visual inspection or misled by an unqualified source. Applied Roofing Science provides thorough investigations and unbiased suggestions. Your roof is designed to protect you from the elements. Our team will make sure it’s fit for the job.

That’s another one of those questions with no definitive answer. It all depends on the type of building, the style of roof, and the slope of the structure. Residential homes and commercial warehouses have different requirements. You want your home to look nice and keep out the rain. Commercial buildings with a flat roof assembly have additional considerations.

As a property owner/manager, your choice of roofing options can be overwhelming. Applied Roofing Science is happy to walk you through the buying process to ensure you get the most suitable product to protect your property and budget! Get in touch, and we’ll stop by for an initial consultation.  

You would expect that a roof would always outlast the manufacturer’s warranty. Alas, we don’t live in a perfect world. Improper installation, the wrong choice of materials, and product defects can muck things up, reducing your roof’s longevity. 

Commercial guarantees range from 5 to 20 years. Residential warranties can last up to 50 but may be voided by faulty design and workmanship. Applied Roofing Materials can talk about roofing systems all day! We’ll gladly help you select the best materials for your project.
