- LWLorrie WhitakerSep 26, 20255.0I spoke to Jimmy on Wednesday, Johnny came to look on Thursday, Jimmy called with estimate Friday and Johnny was here Saturday to repair the roof. I couldn't be happier with the work done. They even came to Doylestown. I will use them again and recommend to my friends.

- TCTony CharltonSep 4, 20255.0Tony and his crew was great. They were reasonably priced and the communication was outstanding. They even went steps above and installed a gutter at no additional charge.
- RMRobert MedlockJul 16, 20255.0Was in need of a roof replacement due only to the age of the roof, the roof was not causing any problems. I called Alpha Roofing. Greg, a co-owner in the business, returned my call and he was able to take a look at my roof a couple of days after our phone conversation. He immediately gave me a very reasonable quote and advised of the need for a larger downspout. Greg scheduled his crew to replace the roof one week after he visited. The Alpha Roofing team showed up on June 6, 2025, they were efficient in completing the job. Greg, stopped by to review the work and took pictures to share with me. My wife and I were very pleased with the quick correspondence from Greg and his interest in making sure the job was done correctly. I would recommend Alpha Roofing and Siding.
- DMDiane McGuireJul 8, 20255.0Had my roof done just in time for all that rain. Very down to earth bunch of guys. They showed me pictures before and after. They did a wonderful job and didn’t leave anything messy. Some neighbors got work done with them also. Definitely recommend.
Frequently Asked Questions About Alpha Roofing and Siding LLC
How long should I expect my roof to last?
The longevity of a roof depends on several factors, including material quality, ventilation efficiency, and local weather conditions. While all roofs eventually need replacement, regular maintenance can significantly extend their lifespan. Different materials and environmental factors contribute to varying durations of roof life.
What causes a roof to wear out?
Roof deterioration is a result of multiple factors. These include exposure to UV rays, temperature variations, wind and rain, and foot traffic on the roof. It's important to note that darker shingles may have a shorter lifespan due to increased heat absorption compared to lighter-colored alternatives.
What causes wood shingles to split and crack?
Wood shingles naturally split and crack as part of their aging process. This occurs primarily due to repeated cycles of moisture absorption and drying, causing the wood to expand and contract over time, leading to these visible signs of wear.
Can an existing roof be covered with another?
While it's possible to add a new layer of roofing over an existing one, this method can decrease the roof's resistance to hail damage. It's crucial to check local building codes, as some areas limit the number of roofing layers allowed. When applying new roofing over wood shingles, potential fungal issues should be considered.
Can composition shingles be repaired?
Composition shingles can indeed be repaired if the damage is minor. A qualified roofing professional can remove and replace individual damaged shingles, maintaining the overall integrity of your roof structure.
What size hail is damaging to roofing?
The potential for hail damage to roofing is influenced by various factors, including the hail's shape, hardness, and density, as well as wind speed, roof age, and roofing material. Generally, hail the size of peas or marbles shouldn't cause significant damage to composition shingles in good condition, unless accompanied by extreme winds.
I've noticed granules from the composition roof in my gutter and driveway. Is this normal?
Granule loss is a normal part of the weathering process for composition shingles. Various factors such as small hail impacts, rain, wind, and foot traffic can contribute to granule displacement over time. This process is expected and doesn't necessarily indicate immediate roof damage.
I've noticed lighter-colored "splatter" marks on my roof after a hail storm. Is this damage?
The lighter-colored marks observed after a hail storm typically don't indicate damage. These marks appear because hailstones remove the algae and oxidation that have darkened your roof over time. These lighter areas will gradually blend in as algae regrowth and oxidation continue.
Are all homes in a neighborhood affected the same way by hail?
Hail damage can vary significantly, even within a small area. Factors such as hailstone characteristics, wind conditions, roof pitch, and the age and condition of each roof contribute to differing impacts. As a result, homes in the same neighborhood may experience varying degrees of hail effects.
What are the special challenges I need to consider when replacing my roof?
Roof replacement involves several important considerations. These include the original roof design, proper ventilation, structural changes due to new materials, insulation issues in vaulted ceilings, and energy-efficient roofing options. It's essential to address ventilation needs, consider the impact on existing trim and structures, and explore modern roofing technologies for improved energy efficiency and longevity.
