Roof repair
Start here for an isolated leak, missing shingles, damaged flashing or a problem around a vent, chimney or skylight. The repair needs to address the water-entry detail, not just the ceiling stain it produces.
A useful repair proposal identifies the area being worked on, the materials involved and the limits of the repair. It should also explain when surrounding deterioration makes a localized fix less dependable.

Roof replacement
Replacement is worth considering when deterioration is widespread, different areas keep failing or a larger renovation changes the roof assembly. It should not be the automatic answer to every leak.
The scope includes more than selecting shingles. Tear-off, deck condition, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, accessories and disposal all belong in the conversation. So does the procedure for approving hidden damage discovered during work.

Roof inspection
An inspection helps you decide whether to repair, replace, maintain or investigate further. It can also clarify a concern raised during a property transaction or after a storm.
Tell us what you need from the visit. A roofing contractor's condition assessment is different from an engineering opinion, insurance adjustment or a lender's certification requirement. Specialist documents should be discussed before booking.

Storm-damage roofing
Report active water entry first. Wind, hail and falling debris can create damage that needs temporary protection before a permanent repair is planned.
We assess the roofing condition and explain the proposed work. An insurer decides whether a loss is covered; a storm report or a contractor visit does not guarantee an approved claim.

Commercial and low-slope roofing
Commercial roofs need system-specific decisions. The membrane, seams, penetrations, drainage, insulation and deck affect both repairability and replacement planning.
For owners and managers, access and occupied-building coordination are part of the project. Identify tenant restrictions, rooftop equipment, known leak areas and existing warranty documents before work begins.
Asphalt shingle roofing
Asphalt shingles are one option for pitched residential roofs. Product selection should account for roof slope, appearance, association rules and the components required by the proposed system.
A particular shingle warranty does not describe everything covered by the installation contract. Compare the material, accessory system and workmanship terms separately.

Roof coatings
A coating may be considered for a suitable existing roof after evaluating its condition and the proposed coating's compatibility. It is not a way to conceal wet insulation, damaged decking or an unresolved drainage problem.
Ask which existing roof is being coated, what preparation is required and what makes the assembly a candidate. A commercial restoration coating should not be treated as a universal treatment for an aging asphalt-shingle roof.
Discuss coating suitability with our commercial roofing team.
New roof installation
For a new building or addition, provide drawings, the intended roof covering and the construction schedule. Roofing needs to fit the roof geometry and connect correctly with walls, penetrations and adjacent roof areas.
A new-build proposal and a tear-off replacement have different assumptions. Make sure the estimate describes the project you are actually planning.
Other exterior work
Sterling Roofers' existing service offering also includes siding replacement and window-film work. Keep these scopes separate from the roofing estimate so the materials, exclusions and scheduling are clear.
A roof proposal should state whether gutters, siding, skylights or interior repairs are included. Their presence on the property does not mean they are included in the contract.

Which service should I choose?
| Your situation | A useful starting point |
|---|---|
| One leak or a visibly damaged roof detail | Repair assessment |
| Several unrelated failures on an aging roof | Replacement assessment |
| You need an explanation before making a decision | Roof inspection |
| A recent storm changed the roof's condition | Storm-damage assessment |
| A low-slope commercial roof leaks or needs budgeting | Commercial roof assessment |
| You are selecting a roof covering | Materials comparison |
These are starting points, not diagnoses. The assessment may reveal a different problem from the one visible inside the building.
Before you approve the work
Ask for a written description of the repair area or replacement system. Confirm how changes are approved, which items are excluded and what documentation you will receive at completion.
Where insurance or financing is involved, review those arrangements separately from the construction scope. Read our insurance information and financing information before relying on assumptions about payment.
Arrange the next step
For a home, tell us where the problem appears and whether it changes during rain. For a commercial building, include access restrictions and the type of roof if known.
