Warranty

Certifications
Brava Authorized

How a roofing project runs
We review the plan before the crew arrives.
Here is what to expect from the first visit to the final walk-through. The steps are the same whether we repair one leak or replace the whole roof.
Inspection
Your project consultant inspects the roof and the attic, takes photos and goes over the findings with you. Your personalized estimate is built at the same visit.
Preparation
Once you approve the estimate, we set the dates and order the materials. Your Project Leader meets you before work begins and reviews the plan. We review where the crew works, where materials go and how we protect your home and yard.
Installation
The crew arrives at the agreed time, and your Project Leader oversees the work. Most roofs are installed in one day. We clean up before the crew leaves.
Completion
We check every detail before we call the project finished, then go over the finished roof with you. We are here for you long after the installation.
