It depends on the roof’s size, pitch, number of stories, shingle choice, decking condition, and how many old layers need tearing off. We do not quote blind over the phone — a free inspection gets you a written estimate with the real number for your roof. Our roof replacement page walks through the full process.
Yes. Roof inspections and estimates are free, documented with photos, and delivered as a written breakdown. No obligation and no pressure either way.
Usually, yes. Most leaks come from isolated issues — a cracked pipe boot, failed flashing, a handful of wind-lifted shingles — and a targeted repair solves them. A free inspection shows whether the problem is truly isolated or part of wider wear. See roof repair for what we fix most.
Repair makes sense when damage is isolated and the rest of the roof is healthy. Replacement starts making sense when the roof is worn throughout, keeps developing new leaks in different spots, or the decking is compromised across wide areas. During a free inspection we show you both options honestly, with real pricing — and we do not push.
Most residential replacements take one to three days depending on the roof’s size, complexity, and weather. Your written estimate includes a realistic timeline before work starts.
Typically 20 to 30 years depending on shingle quality, attic ventilation, and maintenance. Gulf Coast heat and UV age shingles faster than milder climates, which is one reason annual checkups matter — and ours are free.
No. Light cosmetic bruising may not need replacement at all, while functional damage — cracked shingle mats or granule loss that exposes the asphalt — might. A proper inspection determines which kind you are dealing with. See storm and hail damage.
Check from the ground — do not climb on the roof. Look for missing shingles, debris impacts, and any water inside the house. Then call for a free inspection. If water is actively coming in, call us any time, day or night, and take photos of visible damage for your records.
If the damage is significant, often yes — but weigh it against your deductible first. We document damage with photos and written findings and can meet your adjuster on-site. What we cannot do is promise your insurer’s decision; that is theirs to make.
Yes, 24/7. Emergency tarping stops the immediate water intrusion, and then we come back for a full inspection and the permanent fix. The tarp is triage, not the treatment.
We start by listening — when the problem appears tells us a lot. Then we check the attic for water paths, inspect the shingles, flashing, valleys, ridges, vents, and penetrations (with drone photos for steep or fragile areas), and finish by showing you photos and explaining the findings in plain language. It is free.
Once a year, plus after any major storm. Madison Roofing offers free annual checkups, so there is no reason to let small issues turn into expensive ones.
Yes. Both the 2-year labor warranty on repairs and the 5-year labor warranty on new installs transfer to the buyer when you sell. Just let us know so we have it on record.
Yes. We service TPO, EPDM, metal, flat and low-slope, and built-up/bitumen commercial systems. Free inspections and 24/7 emergency response apply to commercial work just like residential. See commercial roofing.

Most repairs take a few hours to a full day depending on the scope — a pipe boot is quick, decking replacement takes longer. Your written estimate includes a realistic timeline before work starts.
Yes, if the roof is structurally sound — age alone does not rule out a repair. But at that age we check carefully whether a repair is smart money or just delaying an inevitable replacement, and we tell you honestly which one it is.
It depends on what caused the damage. Sudden storm damage is often covered; normal wear and aging usually are not — and you will owe your deductible either way. We document everything with photos and written findings and can meet your adjuster on-site, but we cannot promise what your insurer will approve.
Yes — cracked pipe boots are one of the most common leak sources we fix, and it is usually a quick, affordable repair. A $20 boot left too long can cause thousands in decking and drywall damage.
Usually, yes. We match your existing shingle as closely as possible and check the surrounding roof, because shingles near wind damage are often loosened even when they look fine from the ground.
Because water travels. It can run along decking, rafters, and underlayment for ten feet or more before it drips — so the ceiling stain rarely marks the actual entry point. Finding the true source, instead of patching the stain, is what makes a repair last.
If water is actively entering your home, treat it as an emergency and call any time — day, night, weekend, or holiday. A slow stain with no active dripping can usually wait for a scheduled inspection, but do not ignore it: slow leaks rot decking quietly.
These are the questions we hear most often, but every roof has its own story. If yours is not answered above — or you would rather just talk it through — call any time. Inspections are free, the advice is honest, and there is no pressure either way. You can also read about Madison Roofing or see why homeowners choose us.
