What leaks the most on a roof?
Pipe Boots!
So you have recently re-roofed your home and your roofer provided you with a "Lifetime" shingle warranty. Great! Sounds like you are good to go!
Hold up! Did your roofing contractor discuss with you the possibility of the newly installed "rubber" pipe boots cracking and leaking within 5-8 years? Did they tell you that the cheap rubber pipe boots, that sit in the sun, baking in 120+ degree heat, would be your biggest worry? Probably not. They installed your roof, cashed the check and moved on to the next house.
Patriot Pros Roofing takes pride in educating our customers on the latest roofing accessories, designed to extend the life of the roof...not just the shingles. We provide options to every customer, so that they can make the best decision for their family's needs.
In our Enhanced Roofing Package, we offer the industry's best solution for flexible pipe penetrations. Why not have a "Lifetime" pipe boot to go along with your "Lifetime" shingle?

How long does it take to re-roof my home?
There are numerous factors that may affect how quickly your roof can be replaced:
- Pitch (steepness) of the roof surfaces
- Complexity of the roof
- Size of the roof
- Type of materials to be installed
As a general rule of thumb, a normal shingle crew can re-roof a 30 square roof in one day. A square represents 100 square feet of roof surface.

Should I file a claim?
Filing an insurance claim can be simple and painless, if the proper steps are taken first.
Some claims are "no-brainers" like a tree falling on your home, while others can be hard to tell without a physical inspection.
Always have a professional look at the possible damage and provide you with a thorough inspection and photos. About 30% of the time, we are called out to view possible hail or wind damage on a home, only to find out that the amount of damage may not substantiate a claim filing.
We pride ourselves in giving an honest and accurate opinion for what the homeowner should do with regards to their particular situation. Insurance can be great avenue for replacing a roof, siding, doors and windows, but going through the claims process and getting denied is never fun. We try and help minimize this happening to you.
Let us take a look first, go over all of the options and help you make a sound decision.
