What installation and repair work includes
Your roofing project starts with an inspection of the existing roof structure. Thomas Contracting & Roofing checks decking for rot or deflection, measures slope and drainage, and identifies areas where water tends to collect. For replacements, old material is removed down to the sheathing, and damaged decking is replaced before new underlayment and roofing material go down. Fasteners are installed to manufacturer specifications, and all penetrations are sealed and flashed.When the work is finished, you will have a roof that sheds water properly and does not show lifted edges or exposed fasteners. Valleys are lined with ice and water shield or metal flashing depending on roof pitch. Ridge vents allow attic airflow without letting rain inside. Metal roofs are installed with concealed fasteners and expansion clips to prevent oil-canning.Thomas Contracting & Roofing works with local building departments to secure permits and schedule inspections. The crew removes debris daily and protects landscaping with tarps. This service does not include interior repairs to ceilings or insulation, though those can be coordinated separately if water damage has already occurred.
We hear these questions regularly
Homeowners and property managers usually want to know how long a roof will last, what happens if there is hidden damage, and whether repairs make sense or if replacement is the better option. These answers cover the practical concerns that come up before scheduling work.
How long does a new roof typically last?
Composition shingles last twenty to thirty years depending on climate and ventilation. Metal roofs can last fifty years or longer, and TPO membranes on commercial buildings typically last twenty to twenty-five years with proper maintenance.
What happens if the decking is damaged during tearoff?
Thomas Contracting & Roofing inspects the decking after removal and replaces any sections with rot, warping, or water damage. You receive documentation and photos of the damage along with a cost estimate before replacement work begins.
Can you repair a roof instead of replacing it?
Yes, if the damage is localized and the roof has more than half its lifespan remaining. Repairs work well for small leaks, missing shingles, or damaged flashing that has not compromised the underlayment.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roofs are completed in two to four days depending on size and complexity. Commercial roofs take longer due to membrane seams, drainage details, and equipment penetrations.
What roofing materials do you install on commercial buildings?
Thomas Contracting & Roofing installs TPO membrane, standing seam metal panels, and elastomeric coatings. Material choice depends on building use, roof slope, and whether the owner plans to place equipment on the roof.
If your roof is leaking, showing signs of wear, or nearing the end of its expected lifespan, Thomas Contracting & Roofing can inspect the system and provide a written estimate for repair or replacement. Contact us to schedule a site visit and review your options.
