Roofing FAQ: Your Questions Answered

Whether you’re wondering if you need a roof repair or replacement, curious about fire-rated materials, or exploring roofing options, we’ve got you covered.

Signs you may need a repair: Missing shingles, minor leaks, or small areas of damage.

Signs you may need a replacement: Curling or cracked shingles, multiple leaks, sagging roof areas, or if your roof is 20+ years old.

Fire-rated roofing materials are designed to slow the spread of flames in the event of a fire. Fire ratings are classified as:

  • Class A – The highest level of fire resistance (e.g., metal, tile, asphalt shingles with fire-rated underlayment).
  • Class B – Moderate fire resistance (often pressure-treated wood shingles).
  • Class C – The lowest level of protection, offering minimal fire resistance.

In Northern Nevada’s dry climate, a Class A fire-rated roof provides extra peace of mind and added safety for your home.

Underlayment is a protective layer installed beneath roofing materials. It provides:

  • Water Resistance – Shields your home from moisture and leaks.
  • Extra Fire Protection – Fire-rated underlayment enhances overall fire resistance.
  • Improved Durability – Acts as a secondary barrier against harsh weather.

We provide durable, weather-resistant roofing materials suited for Northern Nevada’s climate, including:

  • Asphalt Shingles – Affordable, versatile, and available in fire-rated options.
  • Metal Roofing – Highly durable, fire-resistant, and energy-efficient.
  • Tile Roofing – Long-lasting and ideal for extreme weather conditions.
  • Flat Roofing (TPO & EPDM) – Great for commercial and low-slope roofs.

The lifespan of your roof depends on the material:

  • Asphalt Shingles: 20-30 years
  • Metal Roofing: 40-70 years
  • Tile Roofing: 50+ years
  • Flat Roofing (TPO/EPDM): 20-30 years
