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 often appear rough but may only require minor repairs or maintenance service. 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. Applied Roofing Science will make sure it’s fit for the job.

There is a large variety of material options available to suit every possible roof design. Proper selection of roofing materials depends on the location and use of your building, the style and design of your roof, and other factors such as: structural design (warm- or cold roof), roof slope, conventional or inverted, and not to forget the actual availability of specific materials and/or qualifications of your local roofing contractor.

As a property owner/manager, the choice of roofing options can be overwhelming. Applied Roofing Science is happy to walk you through the entire process to ensure you get the most suitable roof design to protect your property and for your 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 service-life. 

In most cases, manufacturer’s warranties range from 5 to 20 years and each and every manufacturer offers different kind of warranties which are typically based on the certification of the roofing contractor as well as the choice of materials. Applied Roofing Science can talk about roofing systems all day! We’ll gladly help you select the best materials for your project.
