Simmons Roofing

  • How do I know if I need a new roof?

    Several indicators suggest the need for a new roof. These include a roof that's over 20 years old (depending on the material), shingles that are missing, curling, or cracked, areas of the roof that are sagging, water stains on your ceilings, and an excessive amount of granules in your gutters. To get a definitive assessment of your roof's condition, we recommend scheduling a professional inspection.
  • What roofing materials do you offer in Southeast Missouri?

    We provide a range of roofing systems for both residential and commercial properties in Southeast Missouri. Our offerings include asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and flat-roof systems like EPDM. The ideal material for your property will depend on factors such as your budget, the pitch of your roof, local weather conditions, and your desired lifespan for the roof.
  • How long does a roof replacement usually take?

    For a typical residential property, a roof replacement can often be completed in about a day. However, this timeline can vary based on factors such as the size of your roof, the type of materials being installed, and the current weather conditions. Commercial roofing projects may require additional time due to their increased complexity.
  • How much does a new roof cost?

    The cost of a new roof isn't fixed and depends on several factors. These include the roofing material chosen, the size of the project, and any specific installation requirements. Generally, asphalt shingle roofs are in the mid-range price category, while metal or specialty roofing materials tend to be more expensive. We provide detailed, written estimates after conducting a thorough inspection of your property.
  • Can you install a new roof over an existing one?

    While it's sometimes permissible to install a new roof over an existing one, we don't recommend this approach. A complete tear-off allows us to properly inspect the roof decking, replace any damaged components, and install a more durable roofing system. This approach ensures a longer-lasting and more reliable roof for your property.
  • Do you service both residential and commercial properties in Southeast Missouri?

    Indeed, we do. Our services encompass inspections, repairs, replacements, and ongoing maintenance for both residential homes and commercial buildings throughout the Southeast Missouri area.
  • How often should my roof be inspected?

    We advise having your roof inspected annually, with additional inspections following major wind or hail events. Regular inspections are crucial as they help identify potential issues early, which can significantly extend the lifespan of your roofing system.
  • Should I repair or replace my roof?

    The decision between repair and replacement depends on the extent of the damage. Localized issues can often be addressed with repairs. However, if your roof has multiple leaks, sagging areas, or is generally aging, a full replacement might be necessary. During our inspection, we thoroughly document all findings to help you make an informed decision that best suits your needs.
  • What should I do if my roof is leaking?

    If you notice a leak in your roof, take immediate action. First, move or protect any belongings in the affected area. If possible, try to contain the water to prevent further damage. Then, promptly contact a professional roofing service. Swift action can help minimize damage and potential repair costs.
