FAQ — Alpha Elite Exteriors

Question 1

How do I know if I need a full roof replacement or just a repair?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the age of your roof, the extent of the damage, and how much of the surface is affected. If your roof is over 15–20 years old or damage covers more than 30% of the surface, replacement is usually the smarter investment. We'll give you an honest assessment during our free inspection.

Question 2

How long does a roof replacement take?

Accepted Answer

Most residential roof replacements take 1–2 days depending on the size and pitch of your roof. We work efficiently and clean up completely before we leave.

Question 3

What roofing materials do you install?

Accepted Answer

We install Owens Corning architectural shingles, metal roofing systems, and other premium materials. We'll walk you through the options and help you choose what's best for your home and budget.

Question 4

Do you offer a warranty on roofing work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All of our roofing installations come with a workmanship warranty in addition to the manufacturer's material warranty. We stand behind every job we complete.

Question 5

How do I know if my roof has hail damage?

Accepted Answer

Hail damage isn't always visible from the ground. Signs include dented gutters, cracked or missing shingles, and granule loss in your downspouts. We offer free storm damage inspections — we'll get on the roof and tell you exactly what we find.

Question 6

Will my insurance cover storm damage repairs?

Accepted Answer

Most homeowner's insurance policies cover wind and hail damage. We'll document the damage thoroughly and work with your adjuster to make sure your claim is complete and accurate.

Question 7

How quickly can you respond after a storm?

Accepted Answer

We prioritize storm damage calls. In most cases we can get out for an inspection same day or next day. If your roof is actively leaking, we can also provide emergency tarping to prevent further damage.

Question 8

Do I need to contact my insurance company before calling you?

Accepted Answer

No — call us first. We'll inspect the damage and help you understand what you have before you file a claim. This helps ensure you file accurately and don't miss anything.

Question 9

What types of siding do you install?

Accepted Answer

We install vinyl siding, fiber cement (James Hardie), and engineered wood siding. Each has different benefits in terms of cost, durability, and appearance — we'll help you find the right fit.

Question 10

How long does siding installation take?

Accepted Answer

A full siding replacement on an average home typically takes 2–4 days. Larger homes or complex profiles may take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline before we start.

Question 11

Can you match my existing siding for a repair?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, yes. We carry a wide range of profiles and colors. If an exact match isn't available, we'll discuss your options honestly so you can make the best decision.

Question 12

What's the difference between seamless and sectional gutters?

Accepted Answer

Seamless gutters are custom-fabricated on-site to fit your home exactly — no seams means fewer leak points. Sectional gutters come in pre-cut lengths joined together, which creates more potential failure points over time. We install seamless gutters for this reason.

Question 13

Do I need gutter guards?

Accepted Answer

If you have significant tree coverage, gutter guards can dramatically reduce maintenance and prevent clogs that lead to overflow and foundation damage. We'll assess your situation and give you an honest recommendation.

Question 14

How often should gutters be replaced?

Accepted Answer

Quality aluminum gutters typically last 20+ years with proper maintenance. If yours are pulling away from the fascia, leaking at seams, or visibly sagging, it's time to replace them.

Question 15

How do I know if my windows need to be replaced?

Accepted Answer

Signs include drafts around the frame, condensation between panes, difficulty opening or closing, visible damage or rot, and noticeably higher energy bills. We'll assess your windows and give you an honest recommendation.

Question 16

How long does window replacement take?

Accepted Answer

Most window replacements take 1–2 days depending on the number of windows. We work efficiently and clean up completely before we leave.

Question 17

Will new windows lower my energy bills?

Accepted Answer

Yes — modern double or triple-pane windows with low-E coatings significantly reduce heat transfer, which lowers heating and cooling costs year-round.
