Why working with an experienced residential roofing contractor is so important:
No Leaks
The most important difference between an amateur roofing job and a professional residential roof installation is the integrity of the roof. Leaks are likely to happen if the roofing material is not secured properly and/or if the flashing that surrounds chimneys and vents is not properly in place. Even a little water seeping into your attic can cause severe problems over time.
Accountability
Working with a local, trusted roofing contractor means that you have someone you can call in the event that you have a problem or question about your new roof or roof repair.
Keeping it Local
When you work with Pinnacle Roofing to install, repair or replace your roof, you know that the money you spend will stay right here in the community. We’re your neighbors; our employees and suppliers support your local restaurants, retailers and charities.

We also install replacement windows, siding and gutters. We make shopping for your home materials and installation easy.
Used to Unusual Situations
One of the fiew givens in roofing is that no two roofs are exactly alike. That is especially true with older hoes, where time and weather may have caused the roof angles to be less than symmetrical and materials to have aged to failure. Our experienced residential roofing installers are up to these challenges. It’s nothing they haven’t seen before.
