Frequently Asked Questions
These are some of the most common questions and answers about Roofman.
Clues that indicate your roof needs attention:
- Age, typically anything older than 20 years is due for total replacement
- Shingles that appear to be lifting
- Cracked or missing shingles
- Shingles with curled edges
- Shingles that are smooth and appear darker than the rest
- Small pinholes of light (visible from within a dark attic)
- Soft or moist spots in the attic after a hard rain
Flashing is a material made up of aluminum or copper. It is used over joints in roofing and wall construction to prevent water from seeping in and causing damage.
The method used today is made up of polyethylene and rubber. The higher quality underlayment that we carry at Roofman has a nylon scrim and a grip side for the shingles, as well as a slip side for the wood. This modern technology protects your roof more efficiently, and for an extended length of time, from any water damage.
Most companies lay down a bare minimum of protection. This is an important area to ensure that water penetration will not occur. Roofman utilizes a 6 layer valley protection system for every single complete roof installation. We use only the very best practices and products, giving you an end result you can trust.
Shingle manufacturers will not warranty the roof if the original layer is not removed.
Several factors go into determining the cost of your new roof.
- Brand
- Type of material
- Shingle grade
- Entire size of roof
- Shape of the roof
- Slope of roof lines

Professional roofing contractors are trained to safely and efficiently replace roofing systems. You can damage your roof by using improper techniques and could severely injure yourself if you were to fall.
Of course there are variables that affect all roofing projects, like whether or not there are multiple layers to remove and weather conditions that can also affect the timeline of the project. However, Roofman specialists will typically finish a roof in just 1 day, 99.9% of the time!
