Astec Re-Ply® is a fluid-applied roofing restoration system that has been proven since 1986. Instead of tearing off and replacing your existing roof, we apply a seamless, monolithic membrane directly over your current roof surface. It eliminates seams and joints where leaks start, reflects solar heat to reduce cooling costs by up to 40%, and comes with 10 or 15-year renewable warranties covering both materials AND labor from the manufacturer. As we like to say: Why Replace It If You Can Re-Ply® It?

Hallett Gutter Covers are a premium gutter protection system that keeps leaves, pine needles, and debris out of your gutters while allowing maximum water flow.

The answer depends on your roof's age, the extent of damage, and the condition of the underlying structure. We offer free inspections and will give you an honest assessment of whether repairs will extend your roof's life or whether replacement is the more cost-effective long-term option. For commercial flat roofs, Astec Re-Ply® restoration is often a smart alternative that costs a fraction of full replacement.

Warranty coverage varies by project type. Our residential shingle installations qualify for full manufacturer warranties from Tamko, CertainTeed, or Owens-Corning. Commercial projects through Johns Manville carry exclusive JM warranty options. Astec Re-Ply® provides 10 or 15-year renewable warranties covering both materials and labor directly from the manufacturer — one of the strongest warranties in the industry. We'll explain all warranty options during your estimate so you can make an informed decision.
