Baba, the roof guru didn’t exceptional job explaining the whole process. He was diligent in project management of the whole project from beginning to end. He was able to get extra money from the insurance company to put me into an impact rated shingle. I would highly recommend interstate roofing for any of your roofing projects.

FAQs
Ask the Guru – Roofing Wisdom at Your Service!
Do I really need a roof inspection?
Absolutely. Your roof is your home or business’s first line of defense, and even minor damage can turn into a costly problem if left unchecked. A professional inspection identifies hidden issues like small leaks, weakened shingles, or storm damage that may not be visible from the ground. Insurance companies often require documented inspections for claims, and catching damage early can save you thousands in repairs or even prevent a full roof replacement. I provide free, no-obligation inspections, giving you a clear picture of your roof’s condition so you can make informed decisions.
How do I know if my roof needs to be repaired or replaced?
Several factors determine whether a repair or full replacement is the best course of action. Age is a big one—most asphalt shingle roofs last 20-30 years, while metal or tile roofs can last much longer. Signs of trouble include missing or curling shingles, leaks, granules in your gutters, water stains on ceilings, or sagging areas. If storm damage is extensive or if repairs would only provide a temporary fix, a full replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run. I’ll always give you an honest assessment and work with you to find the best solution for your budget and needs.
Will my insurance cover roof damage?
It depends on the cause of the damage and your policy. Most homeowner and commercial property insurance policies cover damage from storms, hail, wind, and falling debris. However, they typically do not cover general wear and tear or damage due to lack of maintenance. The insurance claim process can be complicated, but I specialize in helping homeowners and businesses navigate it smoothly. I’ll conduct a detailed inspection, document all damages, assist with claim filing, and meet with your adjuster to ensure you get the maximum coverage possible. If your claim gets denied unfairly, I can connect you with trusted insurance specialists to explore your options.
Can I finance my roof replacement?
Absolutely - it’s very possible, depending on your project. Baba prides himself on finding financial solutions that work for every customer because he knows that a quality roof is a big investment.
For residential roof replacements, he offers a variety of financing programs, including low-interest and no-money-down options to make the process as stress-free as possible.
For commercial roofing, financing can be a bit trickier, but Baba has several partnering agencies that specialize in commercial project funding. In some cases, Interstate Roofing may even finance the project directly - it all depends on the situation and the best solution for your needs.
Whatever your budget, Baba will work with you to explore every available option and ensure you get the roofing protection you need without unnecessary financial strain. Let’s chat and find a plan that works for you!
What’s the best type of roofing material for my home or business?
The best roofing material depends on your property type, climate, and budget. Here are some key options:
Asphalt Shingles – Most common for homes, affordable, and come in impact-resistant options for storm-prone areas.
Metal Roofing – Extremely durable, energy-efficient, and great for both residential and commercial properties.
Tile (Clay or Concrete) – Long-lasting and stylish, ideal for hot or coastal climates.
TPO & EPDM (Commercial Roofing) – Energy-efficient and cost-effective flat roofing solutions for businesses.
Modified Bitumen & Built-Up Roofing (BUR) – Strong and waterproof, often used for commercial buildings with heavy foot traffic.
I’ll help you weigh the pros and cons of each material based on your needs, ensuring the best choice for durability, maintenance, and cost-efficiency.
How long does a roof replacement take?
A standard residential roof replacement typically takes one to three days, depending on the size of your home, the materials used, and weather conditions. Commercial projects may take longer, especially for large or multi-building properties, but I’ll always provide a clear timeline upfront. My team ensures the process is smooth, efficient, and minimally disruptive to your daily life or business operations.
Before we start, we’ll discuss logistics like permits, material delivery, and weather considerations so there are no surprises. My goal is to provide top-quality work with minimal hassle—so you can get back to enjoying a worry-free roof as quickly as possible.
What should I do if my roof is leaking?
Act fast! Even a small leak can cause water damage, mold growth, and structural issues if left unchecked. Here’s what to do:
Contain the Water – Use buckets or towels to minimize interior damage.
Move Valuables – If possible, relocate furniture and electronics from the affected area.
Check for More Leaks – Sometimes, water travels, so inspect ceilings and walls for additional moisture spots.
Call a Professional ASAP – Temporary fixes like a tarp might help for severe leaks, but a proper inspection is needed to determine the real cause.
I offer emergency roofing services and will assess the damage right away, whether it’s a minor fix or something requiring a larger repair. The faster we act, the less damage your home or business will suffer.
How can I extend the life of my roof?
Regular maintenance is key to getting the most out of your roof. Here’s what I recommend:
Annual Inspections – Catch small issues before they become big problems.
Keep Gutters Clean – Clogged gutters lead to water damage and rot.
Trim Overhanging Trees – Prevents falling branches and excess debris buildup.
Address Repairs Quickly – The sooner you fix small leaks or missing shingles, the longer your roof will last.
