Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers before the work begins.

Every property and project is different, but the questions are often familiar. These answers explain how Choice Construction approaches inspections, estimates, roofing and exterior work, storm-related projects, and real estate requests.

Inspections and Recommendations

Does my roof need replacement, or can it be repaired?

That depends on the type and extent of the issue, the roof's overall condition, surrounding materials and components, and whether a repair can provide a reasonable result. Choice Construction starts with an inspection and explains the property-specific recommendation.

Do you offer free roof inspections and estimates?

Yes. Choice Construction offers free roof inspections and estimates for property owners considering roofing or exterior work.

What should I do if I notice a leak?

Protect the interior where it is safe to do so, avoid climbing onto the roof, and contact Choice Construction to discuss an inspection. If there is a safety risk, electrical concern, structural issue, or severe active intrusion, contact the appropriate emergency service first.

Cost, Scope, and Scheduling

How much will the work cost?

Cost depends on the property, measurements, access, materials, roofing or exterior system, tear-off or preparation needs, related components, and the approved scope. An inspection and project-specific estimate provide the useful answer.

How long will the work take?

Timing depends on the size and complexity of the project, materials, weather, site conditions, access, and approved scope. Choice Construction will discuss anticipated timing for the specific project.

How quickly can you schedule my project?

Scheduling depends on current workload, the approved scope, material availability, weather, and property requirements.

What happens if damaged decking is found?

Some decking conditions may remain hidden until existing roofing materials are removed. The written project agreement should explain the pricing and approval process for unforeseen decking work. Choice Construction communicates the condition and follows the agreed change process.

How does payment work?

The project agreement should define the deposit, progress or insurance-related payments when applicable, final payment, and accepted payment methods.

Materials, Installation, and Warranties

What materials do you use?

Choice Construction uses project-appropriate roofing and exterior materials and guides customers through the approved options.

What warranty do I receive?

Choice Construction provides a workmanship warranty along with applicable manufacturer warranties. Exact duration, coverage, exclusions, transferability, and registration requirements depend on the written project and selected materials.

Do you handle ventilation, flashing, and other roofing components?

Yes. Roof ventilation, flashing, and related roofing components are part of Choice Construction's service capabilities and are included in a project when required by the approved scope.

Will you pull permits if required?

Permit requirements depend on the city and the scope of work. When a permit is required, the written estimate or contract states who is responsible for obtaining it.

Are you insured?

Yes. Choice Construction is fully insured. Insurance information for a specific project is available on request.

Storm Damage and Insurance

Do you work with storm and hail damage?

Yes. Choice Construction inspects and photographs visible roof, siding, and gutter damage, prepares construction estimates, reviews the insurance construction scope, and completes approved repair or replacement work.

Can you help with an insurance claim?

Choice Construction supports the construction side of the process. We can document visible damage, review the carrier's construction scope, identify construction items that may require clarification, meet with the adjuster when appropriate, and provide estimates and documentation. The insurance carrier determines coverage under the policy.

Will insurance cover my roof, siding, or gutters?

Only the insurance carrier can decide coverage based on the claim and policy. Choice Construction cannot guarantee approval or payment.

Can you meet with the adjuster?

Yes, when appropriate. Choice Construction can discuss visible construction conditions and the proposed scope. The adjuster and carrier remain responsible for claim and coverage decisions.

Commercial, HOA, and Multi-Family

Do you work on commercial and flat roofs?

Real Estate Transactions

Do you provide roof inspections for buyers, sellers, and realtors?

Yes. Choice Construction provides roof inspections for realtors, real estate offices, buyers, sellers, and property owners.

Can you estimate the remaining life of a roof?

Choice Construction can discuss service-life considerations based on visible conditions and available information. Any estimate is not a guarantee because materials, installation, weather, ventilation, maintenance, and hidden conditions can affect performance.

Can you provide an estimate for repairs or replacement during a transaction?

Yes, when sufficient information is available and work is recommended. Submit the property address, requester role, known concern, and transaction deadline.

How fast can you complete a real estate roof inspection?

Availability depends on the requested date and property. Submit the inspection or contingency deadline with the request.

Have a question that is specific to your property?

The most useful answer begins with the actual condition. Request a free inspection or contact the team to discuss the next step.
