"Have I already had problems with my roof?"
"Will my insurance actually lower if I hire a roofing contractor & get a NEW roof?"
It doesn't matter what type of roof your home has, whether it be a tile roof, flat roof, shingle roof, or metal roof. The roof of your home is surely something to rely on, this is why having your roof serviced by a licensed roofing contractor is a must, don't wait.

-You see granules or stains, in or around the drains of your roof.
