General Roof Installation
In some cases, yes. For metal roofs, it's often recommended to install over existing shingles. For asphalt shingles, a full tear-off is recommended, as multiple layers can result in poor ventilation, difficulties in detecting and fixing leaks, and excessive weight, which can lead to structural damage.
Roof installation costs typically range from $12,000 to $35,000, depending on the size of the home, complexity of the job, and materials used.
It starts with a consultation where we set clear expectations for the project ahead. We then coordinate the delivery of materials, confirm start dates, and complete most installations in one day (approximately 90% of the time). After installation, we always follow up with a thorough cleanup and check-in to ensure customer satisfaction.
Most roof installations are completed in just one day. Larger or more complex jobs may take up to 2–2.5 days. The entire process from consultation to installation can take up to four weeks.
Spring, summer, and fall are ideal for installation. However, winter can be a great time to book your project, as contractors may offer better pricing due to lower seasonal demand.
No, you do not need to be home while we install your roof.
Always hire a licensed and reputable roofing contractor. Unlicensed roofers may offer cheaper prices, but they often lack proper warranties and effective customer service.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Pros: Affordable, quick to install, and available in a wide range of colors.
Cons: Shorter lifespan (typically 18–35 years), fewer warranty options, and less energy efficiency compared to metal roofing.

Consider your home’s style, local climate, and budget. Your contractor should walk you through your options and provide samples—not just color decks—so you know exactly what you’re getting.
Common options include 3-tab asphalt shingles, architectural (laminated) shingles, and premium shingles. Your contractor can help recommend the best fit for your home and budget. As a proud Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, Allied Exteriors offers Owens Corning Duration Series Shingles.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing requires precision and experience. A poorly installed metal roof can lead to leaks, rust, or structural issues. Allied Exteriors has the expertise and tools to get it done right.
Ensure you understand the type of metal, warranty coverage, and the contractor's reputation. Request to see physical samples—not just color swatches—and ask for examples of past work.

While the upfront cost is higher than that of shingles, metal roofs offer a better return on investment (ROI) through durability, energy savings, and increased home equity. Allied also offers flexible payment plans to make it more accessible.
Choosing a Roof & Contractor
Consider your home’s style, budget, expected lifespan, and energy efficiency needs. Your contractor should help match you with the best material and walk you through the pros and cons.
Consider factors such as licensing, experience, customer reviews, and whether they offer clear communication, provide references, and maintain a physical location. Make sure they offer a warranty and back up their work with service.
