Roof Replacement FAQs – Davenport & Quad Cities
Whether you’re dealing with aged roofing or storm damage, roof replacement is a major investment. Below are answers to common questions homeowners in Davenport, Bettendorf, Rock Island, Moline, and East Moline ask about roof replacement and what to expect from Evenhouse Roofing.
How do I know if I need a roof replacement?
You may need a roof replacement if your roofing is very old (typically 15–30 years for asphalt shingles), if frequent repairs aren’t fixing problems, or if you see multiple damaged, missing, or curling shingles. Other signs include sagging roof areas, granules in your gutters, and interior water stains. A professional inspection gives the clearest assessment.
What roofing materials are available for replacement?
Asphalt shingles are the most common choice because they are cost-effective, durable, and versatile. Metal roofing is another long-lasting option with excellent weather resistance. Other materials like architectural shingles or specialty metal systems are available based on style and budget. We can help you choose the best fit for your home.
How long does a roof replacement take?
A typical roof replacement for a standard single-family home can be completed in one to three days, depending on roof size, complexity, and weather conditions. Larger or steeper roofs may take additional time. Your roofing team provides a schedule before work begins.
Will insurance cover my roof replacement?
Insurance may cover roof replacement if damage is caused by a covered peril such as hail, wind, fire, or storm events. Coverage depends on your policy and documentation of damage. We can help you inspect, document, and work with your insurance company to support your claim when applicable.
