More than shingles on a roof

Your roof protects everything underneath it — your family, your belongings, your investment. When it’s time for a replacement, you want it done right the first time.

We’re GAF Master Elite certified, which puts us in the top 2–3% of roofing contractors nationally. That certification isn’t just a badge — it unlocks the Golden Pledge warranty: 50 years on materials and 25 years on workmanship, backed directly by GAF. Most contractors can’t offer that because they haven’t met the requirements.

Every shingle is laid by our own crews. No subcontractors, no shortcuts.

Your roof might be driving up energy costs

The U.S. Department of Energy reports that up to 40% of your home’s heating and cooling loss happens through the attic and roof area when homes don’t meet modern energy codes. 90% of homes fall short.

A properly installed roofing system with the right ventilation, insulation, and energy-efficient shingles doesn’t just protect your home — it pays you back every month in lower utility bills. Cool roof shingles alone can reduce attic temperatures by up to 20°F.

Common questions

Roofing FAQ

How do I know it’s time to replace my roof?

Look for missing or curling shingles, daylight visible through the roof boards, granules in your gutters, or a roof that’s over 20 years old. If you’re seeing any of these, it’s worth getting a free inspection. Sometimes a repair is enough — we’ll give you an honest recommendation. 7 signs you need a new roof →

How much does a new roof cost?

Our residential roof replacements start at $8,999. Final cost depends on size, pitch, material choice, and any decking repairs needed. We give you a detailed written quote after inspection — no hidden fees, no surprises. Full cost breakdown for Delaware →

What are architectural shingles?

Architectural shingles (also called dimensional or laminated shingles) are the modern standard for residential roofing. They’re thicker than basic 3-tab shingles, with a layered construction that provides better wind resistance (130+ mph), longer life (30–50 years), and a more dimensional look. They’re what we install on the vast majority of our projects.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most residential roofs are completed in a single day. Larger or more complex projects may take two days. We’ll give you a specific timeline before we start and we don’t leave your home exposed overnight.

What warranty do I get?

We offer GAF’s Golden Pledge warranty: 50 years on materials and 25 years on workmanship, backed directly by GAF — not just by us. Less than 2–3% of roofers nationally can offer this. It’s the strongest warranty available in residential roofing.

Will my homeowners insurance cover roof damage?

Most policies cover sudden damage from storms or fallen trees, but not general wear and tear. Even when insurance covers damage, many homeowners choose to invest in a properly built system rather than just what the adjuster approves. We can help you understand your policy and provide documentation for claims.

Do you use subcontractors?

No. Every job is done by our own trained crews. That’s how we maintain quality control and complete most roofs in a single day.
