Asphalt Shingle or Metal: Start With the Building

Choosing a roof for a Gilbert property starts with how the building is used and the condition of the existing system. A home, detached shop and pole barn may not share the same requirements. We offer asphalt shingle roofing and metal options, including standing seam, and discuss the appropriate system rather than assuming one material suits every structure.

Metal roofing deserves attention to panel connections, flashing and the details around penetrations. A shingle roof has its own requirements for fastening, underlayment and ventilation. When comparing options, ask what the proposed work includes at edges and transitions, not only what the finished surface will look like. Manufacturer specifications should guide the installation details.

If your property includes an outbuilding, pole barn or shop, identify it when arranging the free inspection. Explain any leaks, visible damage and how the space is used. That information helps separate the scope for the main home from work on other structures. We do not assume every building has the same roof condition or insurance coverage.

02

Large Trees, Wind and Rural Access

Large trees are an important consideration for rural Gilbert properties when wind moves through Lexington County. A fallen limb can affect the roof covering, decking or gutters, while smaller debris can make the extent of damage difficult to judge from the ground. Stay clear of damaged structures and any utility hazards. A roof inspection should wait until access is safe.

Our proximity to Gilbert helps us coordinate quick inspections from Lexington, although storm demand and conditions affect availability. Tell us whether water is actively entering and which building is affected. Our 24-hour emergency service includes temporary roof protection; scheduling and safe access still need to be confirmed rather than assumed.

For a rural visit, share practical access information before the crew arrives. Let us know which entrance serves the building and whether the inspection concerns the house, shop or another structure. You do not need to climb a ladder or remove damaged material to prepare. Photographs from a safe position and a description of the problem are a useful start.

A Roof Plan That Includes the Rest of the Exterior

Water management does not end at the roof edge. Gutters, fascia, soffit and siding can all be part of the same Gilbert repair discussion, especially when wind or a limb has affected several components. We distinguish the damaged items and explain the proposed work so that replacing one section does not leave a related concern unaddressed.

For insurance work, our HAAG Certified inspectors document the damage and coordinate with the adjuster. About 80% of our work involves claims, but approval depends on your policy and deductible. If more than one building is involved, ask your insurer about the coverage that applies to each; a main dwelling and an outbuilding should not automatically be treated as identical.

Because Gilbert is close to our Lexington base, you can discuss the inspection and follow-up work with the same contractor serving the area. Ask us to explain workmanship coverage for the system you select. The lifetime workmanship warranty applies to Owens Corning roof installs, while other projects have a five-year labor warranty plus applicable manufacturer warranties.
