Question 1

How do I know if I need a replacement or repair?

Accepted Answer

Roof repairs and maintenance are meant to prevent further damage. Replacements are required when repairs are no longer cutting it. If your roof is visibly sagging, over 25, or actively leaking, an investigation is necessary at minimum. A partial repair may be suitable to reinstate your roof, but a complete replacement is a possibility too.

To avoid costly replacements, we recommend enrolling in our Preventative Maintenance Program to help identify potential problems before they get worse.

Question 2

What are the best materials for a new roof?

Accepted Answer

Thanks to Idaho’s climate, metal roofs are one of our most common requests. They’re highly customizable and durable enough to handle all seasons.

Depending on your budget, project requirements, and desired design, asphalt shingle roofs, slate, synthetic products, wood, or clay could be great options too. If you’re unsure, we’ve got you covered! Just get in touch to chat with a certified roofing expert.

Question 3

If there’s a leak in my roof, do I need a new roof?

Accepted Answer

Old or deteriorated flashings are often the culprit behind a leaking roof, especially if your building has an abundance of skylights, chimneys, or wall/roof junctions. Leaks can also be caused by poor drainage, damaged seals, or a breached roof membrane or substrate.

Most of these issues can be addressed without a complete replacement, as long as you don’t let them linger for too long. Remember, taking the time and investing in proper roof maintenance (http://www.driconroofing.com/emergency-repair)will always be less expensive than emergency roof repairs (http://www.driconroofing.com/emergency-repair)o(http://www.driconroofing.com/emergency-repair)r replacements.(http://www.driconroofing.com/roof-replacements) If you do find a leak in your roof, contact (http://www.driconroofing.com/roof-replacements)one of our roof leak specialists ASAP.

Question 4

How long does a roof last?

Accepted Answer

Some materials have better longevity than others, but the typical lifecycle of a commercial roof is between 10–40 years. Harsh weather conditions, condensation, rot-causing bacteria growth, and flashing deterioration impact the performance of a roofing system and thus, its lifespan.

Up to 20 Years
Rubber; multi-ply, modified bitumen, or BUR; and silicon.

20-40 Years 
PVC, asphalt shingles, TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin), concrete, and clay.

40 Years
Flat green roofs, slate, and metal.

Question 5

What is the price of a new roof?

Accepted Answer

There’s a lot that goes into pricing out a new roof or roof replacement. Materials, labor rates, size, access, and project requirements, in addition to many other factors, all contribute to the final cost of a new roof.
