Roof Installation FAQs

How do I know if I need roof repair or roof replacement?

If problems are isolated and the roof still has life left, repair may be enough. If leaks keep recurring, shingles are failing broadly, or the roof is near end-of-life, replacement often provides better long-term value.

Do you replace flashing during a roof replacement?

Flashing is one of the most common leak sources. We review critical flashing areas and address them properly as part of a complete system approach.

What happens if you find damaged wood (roof decking)?

If damaged decking is discovered during tear-off, we’ll document it, explain the scope, and handle repairs before installing the new roofing system.

Will a new roof help with ventilation and attic heat?

Proper ventilation can improve roof performance and help reduce moisture and heat issues. We evaluate ventilation and recommend improvements if needed.

How disruptive is roof replacement?

We protect key areas, keep the jobsite organized, and clean up daily. We’ll communicate the plan so you know what to expect.

Do you offer warranties?

Yes—warranty options depend on materials and the scope of work. We explain warranty coverage clearly and how to maintain it.

Can you replace my roof if there’s a leak right now?

If you have an active leak, we can prioritize inspection and discuss temporary protection and next steps while planning the replacement.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an excellent experience with Done Rite Roof Repair. They completely redid the siding and gutters on my home, including replacing and repairing the wood behind the siding where needed.

Before the work was done, we were having water intrusion and leaks whenever it rained. Since the project was completed, everything has stayed completely dry, even through heavy rain, and the exterior looks fantastic. The quality of the workmanship and attention to detail really shows.

Tony was my main point of contact throughout the entire process and was great to work with. He was responsive, knowledgeable, straightforward, and made sure everything was done properly from start to finish.

It’s not always easy finding a contractor you can trust to do a major exterior project correctly, but I’m extremely happy with the result. I would absolutely recommend Tony and the Done Rite team to anyone looking for high-quality siding, gutter, or exterior work.
