Yes, Sunshine Siding & Window Company has been locally owned and operated since 1973. While a physical address isn’t necessarily an indication of reliability, it does suggest that the company is established and will be around should you have problems while the roof is under warranty. If you choose to deal with a company not local to the area, you may not be able to get the company back to fix any potential problems in the future. Sunshine Siding & Window Company offers a 10-year Workmanship Guarantee.

Yes. At one time employers with three or fewer employees didn’t have to offer Workman’s Compensation Insurance – now they do by law. Still, some contractors and roofers will skimp out on this requirement because insurance isn’t cheap, and some would rather take their chances. The problem, of course, is when the chance is taken on your property and an employee becomes injured. If you hire a company that doesn’t offer employees’ Workman’s Compensation Insurance and someone gets injured on your property, you might find yourself paying thousands of dollars for medical bills. This is a loss no homeowner wants to incur. To protect yourself, make sure the company you hire insures each worker that will be present on your property.

Yes. Workman’s Compensation covers the employees on your property; General Liability Insurance covers your actual property.

Yes, in most cases – however, after careful inspection, your roof may not require it. Some roofers will claim to save time and money by inspecting, with their eyes, the old roof, and then, if all looks well, shingling over it. However, unless the old shingles are pulled up you will never know if you have soft spots or rotten wood beneath the current shingles. If bad spots remain behind, you will have larger, costlier problems in the future.

Yes. Sunshine Siding & Window Company always recommends installing drip edge. Drip edge or edge metal is a small piece of aluminum placed under the shingle where it comes off of the roof. This piece of metal extends past the roof and allows runoff to flow into, rather than behind, the gutters, protecting the fascia and wood on your roof. If a drip edge or edge metal is not installed, you will incur problems associated with water damage.

Yes. Sunshine Siding & Window Company is a reputable roofing company and will have someone on-site throughout the project to answer questions and address concerns.

Yes, Sunshine Siding & Window Company will take every precaution to protect your landscaping so it does not take a beating (placement of equipment, traffic patterns, etc.). Too often, homeowners think about what’s going on top of the roof and forget about what surrounds the house.

Yes. You don’t want to be stuck with a pile of debris in your yard and have to pay extra to have it hauled away.

In most cases, yes. Refuse from the old roof, such as shingles, will need to be placed somewhere as it comes down. Sunshine Siding & Window Company will bring a container to the job site to contain the refuse.

We will cover the job project in tarpaulins or plastic covers. The weatherman is not always right – which isn’t important if you’re working in an office all day, but when someone is removing and replacing your roof it can be a major problem. Sunshine Siding & Window Company will make sure your roof is covered in some type of plastic sheeting or tarpaulin to ensure it, and everything beneath it remains dry. We will come back to ensure the covering is keeping the home dry.

The materials are usually covered under a manufacturer’s warranty (a 25-year Manufacturer’s Warranty is common). Sunshine Siding & Window Company provides a 10-year Workmanship Guarantee. You will want to make sure the contractor backs up his work too if there should be a problem – and get this writing.

A market price will be charged per plywood sheet. Sunshine Siding & Window Company will replace any soft or rotten plywood roof decking on a tear off at a pre-defined market price. This will leave you peace of mind with no surprises during the job.

Yes. Settling into a contract without a detailed estimate can cause problems in the long run. So before signing a contract, Sunshine Siding & Window Company will provide a detailed estimate, which includes the cost of removing the old roof, adding the new roof, and anything that could possibly come up in the process (such as rotten plywood that needs to be replaced). The detailed contract will list the work to be completed, estimated time frame for completion, and the type and brand of materials being used.
