Got questions about warranties, insurance, or costs? Find answers here.
Will my insurance cover a new roof?
Your homeowner's insurance will typically cover a roof replacement or repairs if the damage was caused by a sudden storm, wind, hail, or falling debris. Standard wear and tear over time is not covered. HOF Roofing's claims specialists document all storm impacts with photos and measurements and meet your adjuster on the roof to ensure all damage is properly compensated.
How do I know if I need a new roof?
Signs that you need a roof replacement include curled or missing shingles, bald spots where granules have worn off, cracked shingles, active leaks in your attic, and a sagging roofline. If your roof is over 20 years old, it is likely reaching the end of its functional life. HOF Roofing offers free inspections to assess the structural integrity of your roof and give you an honest recommendation.
How long does a roof replacement take?
For approximately 99% of our residential roof replacements, the installation is completed in just a single day. Some exceptionally large homes or complex layouts may require up to two days.

How long should a residential roof last?
A standard asphalt shingle roof lasts between 20 to 25 years, depending on ventilation quality and weather exposure. Premium shingles like CertainTeed Landmark Pro can last up to 30 or 50 years under proper maintenance. Metal roofs often last 50 years or more. HOF Roofing uses factory-certified underlayments and soft metals to maximize your roof's service life.
