Roofing Contractor Serving Northern VA

The time it takes to replace a roof depends on several factors, such as the type and quantity of the material, the size and complexity of your house, the weather conditions, and the availability of the crew. Generally speaking, it takes about one to three days to replace a roof with asphalt shingles, and about three to five days to replace a roof with metal or tile roofing. However, these times are only estimates and may vary depending on your specific situation. Nestten Roofing & Construction will give you an estimated timeline for your roof replacement project when we provide you with a free inspection and estimate.

No, it’s much more beneficial to allow us to inspect your roof first. This provides several benefits:

First, it prevents a senseless claim from being filed with your insurance unnecessarily.

Second, it enables us to conduct a thorough inspection to ensure all necessary information is gathered before the adjustment appointment. This allows us to speak on your behalf using technical terms, increasing the likelihood of your claim being approved and properly written.

Third, it helps expedite the adjustment process by allowing us to quickly point out the damage to the adjuster. Most insurance adjusters appreciate the efficiency of an expedited inspection, as it enables them to move on to their next appointment promptly.

No, please allow us to be present during the adjustment, in addition to the reasons mentioned above. Having a trained roof inspector on your behalf present during the insurance adjustment ensures that you receive a fair inspection and assessment by the adjuster. This means they won’t simply spend five minutes on your roof and then come down saying “Everything looks good.” We will advocate for you and highlight the damage we found during our initial free roof inspection, ensuring that nothing is overlooked. This significantly improves the chances of your claim being approved, especially if there is only a marginal amount of storm damage.

No, it is the insurance company’s job to send a trained adjuster out to inspect the property and indemnify the potential damage. They utilize estimating software, typically “Xactimate,” to draft an estimate of the repair costs required to restore the property to its pre-storm condition, using materials of similar quality. If you opt for Nestten Roofing, we will meticulously review this insurance loss document with our experienced eye. We will either accept it as written or draft a supplement to your insurance company for any items that may have been inadvertently or deliberately omitted from the claim.

The lifespan of a roof can vary depending on the type of material used, the quality of installation, and the climate. Generally speaking, a standard asphalt shingle roof can last anywhere from 15 to 25 years. However, some high-quality shingle roofs can last up to 50 years.

Metal roofs can last even longer, with a lifespan of 50 to 75 years. Other factors that can affect the lifespan of a roof include the maintenance it receives, the frequency of severe weather events, and the level of exposure to sunlight.

It’s important to have your roof inspected regularly by a professional to ensure that it remains in good condition and to address any issues before they become major problems.

At Nestten Roofing & Construction, we offer comprehensive roof inspections, repairs, and replacements to keep your home protected for years to come.
