Frequently Asked Questions

Our FAQ section addresses common questions about our roofing services, providing clarity on materials, processes, and maintenance tips.

What are signs that our commercial roof needs attention?

Watch for water stains on ceilings, ponding water on flat areas, loose or damaged membrane seams, clogged drains, damaged flashing around equipment, or increased energy costs. Regular professional inspections can identify issues before they become costly problems.

How long does a typical residential roof replacement take?

Most residential roof replacements are completed in one to two days, depending on the size of your home and weather conditions. Our experienced crews work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. We'll provide a clear timeline during your estimate and keep you informed throughout the entire process.

What types of commercial roofing systems does JF Baker install?

We specialize in flat and low-slope commercial roofing systems including TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin), EPDM rubber roofing, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing systems. Each system offers unique benefits depending on your building's structure, traffic requirements, and budget. Our experienced team will assess your property and recommend the best solution for long-term performance and durability.

What are seamless gutters and why are they better?

Seamless gutters are custom-fabricated on-site to fit your roofline perfectly with fewer joints than traditional sectional gutters. This means fewer potential leak points, better water flow, and a cleaner, more professional appearance. We measure and create your gutters specifically for your property, ensuring optimal performance and durability that protects your home for years to come.

How do I know if my gutters need repair or replacement?

Signs that your gutters need attention include sagging sections, visible rust or holes, water overflowing during rain, peeling paint on your home's exterior near gutters, or water pooling around your foundation. Our technicians will inspect your gutter system and provide honest recommendations. If your gutters are relatively new with isolated damage, repairs may be sufficient. Older gutters with widespread issues often benefit from complete replacement.

Do gutter guards really work?

Quality gutter guards significantly reduce maintenance by keeping leaves, debris, and pests out while allowing water to flow freely. While no system is completely maintenance-free, professional gutter guard installation extends the life of your gutter system and reduces the frequency of cleaning. We'll help you determine if gutter guards are a worthwhile investment based on your property's tree coverage and maintenance preferences.

How quickly can you respond after a storm?

We understand that storm damage requires fast action to prevent further interior damage. Our team responds quickly to assess damage, provide emergency tarping if needed, and begin the restoration process. We prioritize storm damage calls and work efficiently to secure your property and restore your roof's protection as soon as possible.

What types of sheet metal work does JF Baker provide?What types of sheet metal work does JF Baker provide?

We offer comprehensive sheet metal services including custom fabrication, flashing installation and repair, chimney caps, valleys, custom trim work, ductwork, metal coping, custom vents, and architectural metal details. Our skilled craftsmen can fabricate components on-site to fit your property's unique specifications, ensuring seamless integration with your roofing system.

Why is proper flashing so important?

Flashing is critical for preventing water intrusion at vulnerable areas like chimneys, skylights, roof valleys, and wall intersections. Improperly installed or damaged flashing is one of the most common causes of roof leaks. Our experienced team pays close attention to these critical waterproofing details, ensuring watertight protection that prevents costly interior water damage.

How long do commercial roofs typically last?

Commercial roof lifespan varies by material and maintenance. EPDM and TPO systems typically last 20-30 years, while metal roofing can last 30-50 years with proper maintenance. Built-up roofing systems typically provide 15-25 years of service. Regular maintenance significantly extends roof life and protects your investment.

How long does a commercial roof installation take?

Commercial roof installation timelines vary based on your building's size, roof complexity, and the system being installed. Most projects range from several days to a few weeks. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your business operations and can often phase the project to keep your building fully operational throughout the installation process.

What is the lifespan of a commercial flat roof?

TPO and EPDM roofing systems typically last 20 to 30 years with proper installation and maintenance, while modified bitumen and built-up systems can last 15 to 25 years. The actual lifespan depends on factors like installation quality, weather exposure, roof traffic, and regular maintenance. Our expert installation using premium materials from Versico and CertainTeed ensures maximum longevity for your investment.

How do I know if my roof has hail damage?

Hail damage isn't always obvious to homeowners. Look for dented vents, damaged gutters, or bruised shingles, but remember that serious damage can exist without visible signs from the ground. Hail can bruise or crack shingle mats, allowing water to seep in over time. Our certified technicians know exactly what to look for and provide thorough inspections with detailed documentation to assess the true extent of damage.

Should I file an insurance claim for storm damage?

If you suspect storm damage, it's worth having your roof professionally inspected. Our team will assess the damage and provide honest recommendations about whether filing a claim makes sense for your situation. We document all findings with detailed reports and photos, giving you the information needed to make an informed decision about moving forward with your insurance company.

How long does sheet metal last on a roof?

Quality sheet metal components, when properly installed and maintained, can last 50 years or more. The longevity depends on the metal type, installation quality, and exposure to weather elements. Our expert installation and premium materials ensure your sheet metal work provides decades of reliable performance and protection.

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

Our certified technicians will conduct a thorough inspection to assess your roof's condition and provide honest recommendations. Generally, if your roof is under 15 years old with isolated damage, repairs may be sufficient. If your roof is over 20 years old, has widespread shingle damage, or shows signs of multiple leaks, replacement is often the better long-term investment. We'll explain all your options with transparent pricing so you can make an informed decision.

What warranty coverage comes with a new roof from JF Baker Roofing?

As a CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster certified contractor, we offer enhanced warranty options that independent contractors cannot provide. CertainTeed's SureStart PLUS warranty includes 10 years of non-prorated coverage for both materials and installation labor, plus up to 50 years of total coverage on select products. Your new roof is also backed by our workmanship guarantee for complete peace of mind.
