SHARP RESTORATION FAQ
If it’s time to replace your roof, there are a few simple steps you can take to help ensure a smooth and hassle-free process:
- Secure loose items: Remove loose items from walls and shelves inside your home. The vibrations caused by hammering during the installation process may cause unsecured items to fall.
- Clear your driveway: Make space by clearing vehicles and other obstructions from your driveway and the areas around your home. This not only prevents roofing materials from falling onto your property but also provides your contractor with the room needed for work vehicles and equipment.
At Sharp Restoration, we complete most roofing projects in a single day or very quickly, minimizing disruption to your daily life. Once your preparations are complete, you can relax while our team takes care of the rest. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with your brand-new, expertly installed roof!
The time it takes to replace your roof can vary based on several factors:
- Home size: Larger homes naturally require more time to complete.
- Roofing materials: Some materials, such as slate or tile, may take longer to install compared to asphalt shingles.
- Weather conditions: Poor weather, such as rain or high winds, can cause delays to ensure the safety of the crew and the quality of the installation.
At Sharp Restoration, we strive to complete most roof replacements as quickly as possible without compromising quality, often in as little as one to three days for standard-sized homes. Our team works diligently to minimize disruptions while delivering exceptional results.
Here are some tips to help you identify storm, wind, or hail damage to your roof:
- Check for missing, cracked, or broken shingles or tiles.
- Storms can tear shingles off or crack them by blowing debris into them.
- Inspect flashings around vents, skylights, and chimneys: Damage from storms often dislodge or tear flashings, leading to leaks.
- Look for punctures or soft spots in the roof membrane: Hail can puncture shingles and membranes, while wind suction may create soft spots.
- Watch for water stains or moisture on ceilings or walls: This is a sign of roof leaks potentially caused by storm damage.
- Inspect roof attachments like HVAC units and vents: Strong winds can tear units loose or bend vents.
- Look for sagging or bowing in the roof decking: Wind uplift can warp the decking underneath.
- Take photos of any visible damage: Photos serve as valuable documentation when filing an insurance claim.
- Schedule a professional inspection: Sharp Restoration offers FREE roof inspections to identify less visible damage, such as tiny fractures in shingles caused by hail or wind.
Compare with pre-storm photos if available: Any new damage will stand out in comparison. - By inspecting your roof regularly and addressing damage promptly, you can prevent minor issues from becoming costly repairs. Let Sharp Restoration assist with a thorough inspection to ensure your roof stays in excellent condition.

The lifespan of a roof depends on the materials used, installation quality, and maintenance. Here’s a general guideline:
- Lower-cost materials: Roofs made from budget-friendly materials may last around 10 years.
- High-quality materials: Premium materials, such as metal, tile, or high-grade shingles, can last 30+ years under ideal conditions.
- Contacting Sharp Restoration for regular roof inspections helps maximize its lifespan. Addressing issues early prevents costly damage and ensures your roof continues to protect your home for years to come.
