These materials offer strong weather resistance, low maintenance, and long lifespan. Engineered Wood is especially popular for its durability and natural wood appearance.

Roofing

How can I tell if my roof needs to be repaired or fully replaced?

Signs you may need a roof repair or replacement include missing shingles, leaks, water stains on ceilings, curling or cracking shingles, excessive granules in the gutters, or visible sagging. Asphalt roofs typically last 20-30 years, so age is also a major factor. Quality shingles like CertainTeed's line offer a 50-year shingle warranty. A professional roof inspection can determine whether spot repairs are enough or if a full roof replacement is the safer long-term option.
