How long does it take to install a roof?2025-01-20T16:19:42+00:00

Roof installations usually take two to three days to complete, although re-roofing projects generally require less time than full roof replacements. The timeline can vary based on factors such as the size of the roof, weather conditions, and the complexity of the project. Additionally, unexpected damage may be discovered during the replacement process, which could extend the project’s duration.

The Pyramid Roofing team will maintain clear communication with you throughout the process, ensuring you’re informed about the progress and estimated completion time of your project!

Do I need to replace my leaking roof?2025-01-20T16:24:03+00:00

No, you don’t necessarily need to replace your entire roof if it’s leaking. It may just be flashing that needs replaced, or a few shingles letting water get in. Luckily for you, Pyramid Roofing’s team is skilled at locating and repairing leaks, helping you extend the life of your roof.

In some cases, it may be more cost-effective to opt for a re-roof or full replacement. Industry experts often recommend replacing the roof if damage covers more than 30% of the surface. However, every situation is different. We’ll provide an honest evaluation of your roof’s condition, allowing you to make a well-informed decision that suits both your needs and your budget.

Are there financing options available?2025-01-20T16:24:51+00:00

Yes. Pyramid offers financing options for your roofing project. Please reach out to a team member for more information, and to see if it’s right for you.

Can you install a roof in the winter?2025-01-20T16:26:08+00:00

Yes, roof installations can be done in the winter. However, most manufacturers recommend that the temperature be at least 42°F to ensure the shingles properly seal. If shingles are installed during colder weather, there’s a possibility that some may lift or blow off before they seal, particularly if there are strong winds. Pyramid Roofing will address any such issues at no extra cost. Since we work year-round, we’re well-equipped to handle winter installations and the challenges that come with them.

Will you work with my insurance company?2025-01-20T16:26:55+00:00

Yes, Pyramid Roofing can meet with your insurance adjuster and complete all necessary paperwork for your roof claim. If you’ve recently had roof damage, we recommend reaching out to our team for a free inspection before contacting your insurance provider. This way, we can confirm whether the damage is significant enough to qualify for compensation before you begin the claims process.

How long does a roof last?2025-01-20T16:14:42+00:00

How long does a roof last? Well, the lifespan of a roof largely depends on the material used and the pitch of the roof. For example, standard asphalt shingles like GAF Timberline (or similar products) typically last around 15 to 20 years in the Midwest. On the other hand, concrete tiles and standing seam metal roofs can last 50 years or more if properly maintained. Roofs with lower pitches tend to have a shorter lifespan, while those with steeper slopes generally last longer.
