BACKSTORY
Beat the clock — and three other bids.
When this Ambler homeowner got the letter from his insurance company in 2024, the message was clear: replace the roof within 90 days, or watch the premium climb. It wasn’t the news anyone wants, especially for a home that had been in the family for years and held a lot of memories.
He wanted it done right, so he didn’t just take the first quote. He gathered bids from four contractors — Dexteriors included — and weighed his options carefully. In the end, we earned the job with a combination of competitive pricing and a warranty that actually protected his investment, all on a timeline that kept him well ahead of the insurance deadline.
For a family home that’s meant so much over the years, keeping it protected was what mattered most — and that’s exactly what we delivered. 🏡

How long does an asphalt roof last?
An asphalt roof typically lasts 15-30 years, depending on the quality of materials, installation, and maintenance. Architectural shingles generally have a longer lifespan than standard 3-tab shingles, with warranties often extending up to 25+ years. Environmental factors, such as severe weather and temperature fluctuations, can also affect its longevity.
Do roofers need a license or certification?
Yes, roofing contractors require licensing in both New Jersey & Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania, roofing contractors must register with the Attorney General’s Office and comply with the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act. Dexteriors has certifications from manufacturers like GAF and CertainTeed to demonstrate a our expertise in installing specific products.
How long does it take to replace a roof?
Replacing a roof typically takes 1-3 days, depending on the size and complexity of the project. Larger homes, steep roof pitches, or extensive repairs may extend the timeline. Weather conditions and crew size also play a role in determining the duration of the project.
Can I repair the roof myself?
DIY roof repair is not recommended for safety reasons. Plus, significant issues may not be easily detectable. But, if you decide to repair your roof:
- Locate the damage: Inspect for missing shingles, leaks, or cracks.
- Replace damaged shingles: Remove the broken shingle and install a new one using roofing nails.
- Seal small leaks: Use roofing sealant and aluminum patches to seal small cracks or holes.
- Safety first: Always use proper safety equipment, like a harness, and avoid working on steep roofs.
For major repairs, it’s best to hire a professional to ensure long-term results and safety.
How long will a roof repair last?
Yes, roof repairs can last many a couple of years if done correctly, depending on the type and extent of the repair. Minor fixes like replacing a few shingles or sealing leaks can last 2-7 years, while larger structural repairs may last even longer. Using high-quality materials and hiring a professional ensures durability. Keep in mind, an older roof with multiple repairs may effect Homeowners Insurance.
