Frequently asked questions
Q: My shingles have a mold-like discoloration on them. Does that affect the warranty?
A: No. We do have a product that will clean up your shingles and remove the discoloration for you!
Q: Can I paint my shingles to give them a new color?
A: No. Painting your shingles will void the warranty.
Q: Each fall, leaves and pinestraw litter my roof. Can this be a problem?
A: Yes. This slows drainage causing water to build up - make sure to keep your roof free of debris!
Q: Should my turbines be turning?
A: Yes, and this is very important. Your turbines should be turning if the wind is blowing. Heat in the attic will also make them turn if the soffit intake is adequate.
Q: How much will a "dark" roof affect my energy bill?
A: There are several variables that affect your energy bill from a roofing standpoint, but in short, very little. Keep in mind that while we are in Louisiana, we still use our heaters at least four months out of the year. Having a light colored or reflective roof can provide some help in the warmer months, but it will hurt in the colder months. Most importantly, you want to make sure your ventilation system has enough intake and exhaust.
Q: Which type of roof qualifies for a rebate?
A: Please contact us for qualifying products and current rebate amounts.
Q: Which roof brand should I choose?
A: There are several reasons why we carry only Certainteed shingles, quality being one. If you will call us, we will be glad to answer any questions that you may have on this topic.
