Yes — lighter colors reflect more sunlight and keep your home cooler. Dark shingles absorb more heat, which can increase AC bills.

Tile is most common, but foam roofs are excellent for flat areas, and metal is growing in popularity for its durability and reflectivity.

It’s not recommended. If your roof is close to needing replacement, do that first. Panels last 20–25 years, so you don’t want to remove them for a reroof in 5 years.

We check for broken or missing shingles/tiles, cracked sealants, flashing issues, underlayment exposure, ponding water (flat roofs), and interior signs of leaks.

It depends on size, material, and roof style. Shingle roofs average $8,000–$12,000. Tile reroofs (underlayment replacement) can run $12,000–$20,000+. Foam roofs vary by square footage.

Repairs fix isolated issues like broken tiles or flashing. A reroof replaces the entire roofing system — shingles, tiles, or underlayment. Repairs are cheaper short-term, reroofs are long-term solutions.
