Questions Asked by Our Customers in Renton, Washington

Q: How long can I expect my roofing system to last?

A: It will depend on the type of roofing system you’re looking to install or repair! Different materials will last longer than others, and the costs for each will vary as well.

For full information on different types of roofing and their lifespans, please check out our Roof Types Guide.

Q: How often should I clean my gutters?

A: To prevent rot and dampness, your gutter system will have to be periodically cleaned. Ideally, it should be cleaned at least once in the summer and twice in the fall (the rainiest time of the year).

Key questions that will help you determine how often to clean your gutters are:

• How often does it rain in your city/region? If you live in a drier area, it might only rain a couple of months per year, whereas a wetter region might experience rain up to 6 months per year. For the latter, you will certainly want to check your gutters more frequently.
• Is any rainwater spilling out over the edges of the gutters? This is a clear indicator that your gutters are clogged, and this presents a potential risk to both your roofing system as well as your home.
• Are there trees surrounding or near your home? If your property is near any overhanging branches or limbs, this will also increase the amount of gutter checks you should make. This includes deciduous trees dropping leaves or conifers dropping needles onto your roof. They will make their way into the gutter system and clog it.

Q: Can roofs be replaced in the winter?

A: Yes, they can be replaced in the wintertime! While cold temperatures aren’t ideal for replacing roof systems, it can often be necessary.

Winter roofing can be dangerous, and a slippery or damaged surface means there are some risks involved. Ice dams can cause further complications.

However, as long as you’re working with a professional roofer who has experience working in cold-weather conditions, you can certainly replace or repair your roof in the wintertime. The quality of the installation can be just as good as a warm-weather installation.
