Is a metal roof better for a home?
It’s up to the homeowner; but metal can be damaged by hail and debris, which can then cause rusting.
Is it recommended to have your roof sprayed with the coating that we see on the TV commercials?
Spray coating is not recommended. If your roof has lived out its life expectancy, then it’s better to replace it. The problem is the unforeseen damage to your decking boards, which can be a whole other problem.
Can you install a roof in the winter?
Depending on the temperature, we keep working up until the heaviest snow fall – usually in February.
Do you clean up after the roof is installed?
Yes, we do a full clean up and we use a metal magnet to pick up all nails.

Depending on the shingles you have or are having installed, the shingles we install last 30 years.

If you have storm coverage, most likely yes.
Do I have to pay my deductible if I go through my insurance company?
Wiggins Roofing will waive $500 of your deductible. If you’re not going through your insurance, you don’t need to worry about your deductible.
Do I have to put any money down for my new roof?
No, if you’re going through insurance. If you’re going through our financing, you don’t have to put money down either. If you’re paying out of pocket, then half down is due to get the roof completed and the remainder is due once the roof is complete.
