9. Do I need a permit to replace my roof?
In most areas, a permit is required for roof replacements. UP TO THE ROOF handles the permitting process as part of our services, ensuring that all necessary approvals are obtained before work begins. However, please note that local regulations can vary, and we recommend confirming permit requirements with your local authorities.

11. What types of roofing materials do you offer?
12. How do I know if I need a roof inspection?
Roof inspections are recommended at least once a year, or after significant weather events such as heavy storms or hail. If you notice any signs of damage, such as leaks, missing shingles, or water stains, an inspection can help identify the source of the problem and prevent further damage. While we recommend regular inspections to maintain your roof’s condition, please note that roof inspections are based on visible assessments, and some underlying issues may not be immediately apparent without a full professional evaluation.
