How we can help
Depending on the extent of your roof’s damage and whether it’s been replaced before, we have two ways that we can help; re-roofing or a complete roof replacement.
What does re-roofing mean?
Unlike in a full roof replacement, we don’t remove the old shingles when we are re-roofing. Our trusted roof professionals simply add a layer of asphalt shingles on top of your older one.
