Roofing FAQs
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most Edgepoint roof replacements are completed in 1–2 days, depending on the size and complexity of your home. A standard single-family roof in the MetroWest area is typically finished in just one day. Larger or more detailed projects, especially those with skylights, multiple roof planes, or structural upgrades, may extend into a second day. We coordinate material delivery so installation starts almost immediately, minimizing disruption to your home.
Do you handle tear-off & disposal?
Yes. Every Edgepoint roof replacement includes complete tear-off of old shingles, underlayment, and flashing as needed, along with responsible disposal of all debris. Dumpsters are brought directly to the jobsite, and our crews follow strict cleanup protocols. That means nails, shingles, and scraps are removed daily — leaving your yard, driveway, and landscaping as clean as we found them.
What if my decking needs replacing?
During installation, if we discover rotten or damaged decking, we’ll let you know immediately and replace it before installing new shingles. Our pricing is clear: $100 per sheet of plywood, so there are no surprises. We believe in complete transparency — you’ll know what’s being replaced, why it’s needed, and exactly what it costs before we move forward.
Do you install in winter?
Yes. Edgepoint installs year-round, including winter months. For cold-weather conditions and low-slope areas, we use SBS-modified roofing systems that are approved for cold installation. This ensures proper adhesion and long-term performance even in Massachusetts’ toughest seasons. We monitor weather windows carefully so your roof is installed under optimal conditions, protecting your home no matter the season.
What warranties do you provide?
Edgepoint installs come with IKO Dynasty’s manufacturer limited lifetime warranty, plus our own workmanship coverage. The manufacturer warranty protects against material defects, while our workmanship warranty guarantees that the installation is done right. This gives you peace of mind that your roof is fully covered — both the product and the install.
Gutter Cleaning FAQs
How often should gutters be cleaned?
Most MetroWest homes need gutter cleaning twice per year — once in the spring and once in the fall. Homes surrounded by trees may need more frequent service.
Do I need to be home during the cleaning?
No — as long as we have access to your gutters, you don’t need to be home. We’ll leave your property clean and send before/after photos for your records.
Can clogged gutters really cause roof leaks?
Yes. Water backing up under shingles due to clogged gutters is one of the most common causes of roof leaks, fascia rot, and even ice dams in the winter.
