What are the signs my roof has problems?
Common indicators of roofing issues include missing or damaged shingles, leaks, sagging areas, and granule loss. If you notice any of these signs, it's advisable to contact EcoShield Exteriors for a comprehensive inspection and professional advice.

Does a new roof come with warranties?
Yes, new roofs installed by EcoShield Exteriors come with warranties. There are typically two types: a workmanship warranty covering installation and a manufacturer's warranty covering the roofing materials. The duration and terms of these warranties can vary, so it's best to discuss specifics with our team.
How often should I have my roof inspected?
It's recommended to have your roof inspected at least once a year and after major weather events. Regular inspections by EcoShield Exteriors can identify potential issues early, preventing costly repairs and extending your roof's lifespan.
Do I need gutters and gutter protection?
Gutters play a crucial role in directing rainwater away from your home's foundation, preventing water damage, erosion, and basement flooding. Gutter protection systems, such as gutter guards, help keep debris out, ensuring the gutters function properly and reduce the need for frequent cleaning.
