Frequently Asked Questions

If your roof is relatively new and the damage is isolated (like a few missing shingles or a small leak over one room), a repair is usually sufficient. However, if the roof is over 20 years old, has widespread issues like curling shingles, or is leaking in multiple spots, a replacement is often the more cost-effective long-term investment.

For most residential homes in the Metroplex, a roof replacement can be completed in one day, barring extreme weather. Larger commercial projects or multi-family complexes may take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the square footage and the complexity of the structure.

Insurance typically covers “sudden and accidental” damage caused by events like wind, hail, or falling debris. They generally do not cover “wear and tear” or damage caused by a lack of maintenance. We recommend having us perform a professional inspection before you file a claim so we can provide the documentation your adjuster will need.

You don’t need to climb a ladder to spot major red flags. Look for shingles that are missing, cracked, or “bald” (losing their protective granules). You should also check your gutters; if they are filled with shingle granules that look like coarse sand, it’s a sign your roof is reaching the end of its life.

Installing a Class 4 impact-resistant shingle offers a better hail protection warranty (up to 2" hail), up to 30% insurance premium discounts, better wind ratings (150 mph), longer roof life, better resale value, and fewer insurance claims.

No, this is not industry standard and will VOID all labor and manufacturer warranties. Epic Roofing will not lay over existing shingles.

In North Texas, attic temperatures can soar above 150°F. Without proper ventilation, this heat “bakes” your shingles from the inside out, causing them to become brittle and fail. A well-ventilated roof not only lasts longer but also helps lower your monthly cooling costs.

Commercial projects, especially for apartments or townhomes, require more complex logistics. This includes managing larger crews, ensuring the safety of dozens of tenants, and coordinating debris removal across a bigger job site.

We recommend a professional inspection twice a year (usually in the spring and fall). For commercial property managers, proactive maintenance is the best way to prevent small leaks from turning into massive interior damage claims that could displace tenants or shut down business operations.

Roof costs depend on the materials, roof size and complexity, and any needed repairs. Epic Roofing offers a free inspection with a detailed estimate so you know exactly what to expect.

That's a great question! Minor issues like a few missing shingles or an isolated leak can often be handled with a simple repair. However, if your roof is over 15 years old, shows widespread signs of wear (like curling or cracked shingles, exposed fiberglass), or has extensive damage, a full replacement is typically the safer and more cost-effective long-term solution. Our free inspection will give you a clear and honest assessment of your roof's condition.

Protecting one of your biggest assets is our top priority. Before we begin work, we cover windows, landscaping, and other sensitive areas. We maintain a clean and organized work site throughout the entire project.

Often the damage isn't obvious from the ground. Look for missing or lifted shingles after a windstorm. After hailstorms, check your gutters, downspouts, siding, and even your vehicles in the driveway for dings. You may also see dents on turbines and air vents. These issues need to be addressed quickly before causing interior damage. The best way to know for sure is to schedule a free inspection with one of our experts
