FAQ
Roof repair in Lee, answered.
How long does a roof repair take?
Typical repairs are done in a few hours to a day. Larger repairs or ones that wait for dry weather can take longer.
Is repairing better than replacing?
If damage is limited and the rest of the roof is in good shape, repair is usually the cheaper choice. If the roof is near the end of its life or damage is widespread, a replacement often costs less over time.
Do I need a permit for roof repair in Lee?
Many cities and counties require a building permit for roof work; the roofing company normally pulls it. Ask who is responsible and request a copy. Check with the DeKalb County building department for local rules.
