    • What you can expect regarding the work, ie. cleanup
    • Warranty information
    • The licensing and certification of your contractor

  • How often should we replace our roof?

    • Asphalt shingles: 15-20 years
    • Metal: 30-50 years
    • Coating: 5-15 years
    • PVC Membrane: 15-25 years

  • Do I need to repair, or replace my roof? How do I know?

    • This can be tricky to answer as there are many questions to consider.
    • How is the roof?
    • Is the roof leaking? If so for how long, and in how many places?
    • Can the roof be overlaid, or does it need torn off?
    • How much will the repairs cost? Does it make sense to replace instead?

    Diversified Services can create a complete picture and walk you through these questions to help determine the best course of action.

  • Do you install skylights

    Yes, we sure can. We offer a full line of skylights for both commercial and residential use. We offer a wide range of materials and finishes to provide a leak-proof skylight to match your functional and aesthetic needs.

  • Should we replace my roof before we sell our business or house?

    There isn’t a simple answer to this question. Replacing the roof prior to sale can increase the appraisal value and increase the resale value. A full roof inspection can help determine how old your current roof is, if its unknown and figure out the approximate cost. You can use that information to make an educated guess about the return on investment.
