Every reason people call us about a roof

A roof is a system, not just shingles.

Tap any one — here’s what actually changes when the roof’s done right.

  • Backed by the system warranty

    The strongest manufacturer warranties come from installing the full system — underlayment, leak barrier, starter strip, ridge cap, and ventilation — together, not the shingle alone. We install the whole system and back our labor for 5 years.

  • Built to take the wind

    Modern architectural shingles have reinforced nailing zones — GAF’s LayerLock, Owens Corning’s SureNail — so they grip the deck and hold their wind rating. With the right starter course and sealed edges, the roof stays put.

  • Color that holds, streaks that don’t

    Algae-resistant granules keep the black streaks off your roof for years, and the granule blends are engineered to hold their color in the sun instead of washing out.

  • A roof that breathes

    Balanced attic ventilation — intake at the soffit, exhaust at the ridge — pulls heat and moisture out of the attic. That protects the deck and the shingles and helps with summer cooling. It’s part of the system, not an upsell.

  • Curb appeal from the street up

    Architectural shingles cast a real shadow line, and the designer lines mimic slate and wood shake. We help you pick a color that fits the house, not a catalog page.

  • Done once, done right

    Full tear-off, a clean deck, the right flashing at every wall and valley, and the yard swept of nails before we leave. Same crews, job after job — no stranger sent to your house.

THE EXCEL PROMISE

How we do business.

Three things we hold to on every job — the reasons families call us back and send their neighbors.

  1. Same owner, same crews

    Chris still runs the company he started, and the same installers come back job after job. You're never handing your house to a stranger.

  2. Education over selling

    We walk you through the options and leave a written proposal — not a high-pressure pitch. You decide on your own time.

  3. The care we'd want at home

    Most of our work is repeat and referral — because every job gets the same care and craftsmanship we'd want in our own homes.

Backed For The Long Haul

The warranty isn’t fine print. It’s the whole point.

A roof is only as good as what stands behind it. Here’s exactly what you get — written into your contract, not promised at the door.

  • System

    Manufacturer system warranty

    We install the complete manufacturer system — not just the shingles — which is what backs the strongest manufacturer warranties. We’ll show you the exact terms for the line you choose.

  • 5 yr

    Excel labor warranty

    On every roof we install. If our workmanship is the issue, we make it right — no argument about whose fault it is.

  • $0

    No service-fee gate

    Call us out under warranty and there’s no per-visit charge just to ask. A lot of companies bury that fee. We don’t have one.

Financing available — ask about options at your free consultation.

Roofing — common questions

What roofing brands do you install?

GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed — the three biggest names in residential roofing. We’ll help you pick the line and the color that fit your home and your budget.

Why does “the full system” matter?

A roof isn’t just shingles. The underlayment, the leak barrier at the eaves and valleys, the starter strip, the ridge cap, and the attic ventilation all work together — and the manufacturer’s strongest warranties require the full system installed to spec. We install the whole system, not just the top layer.

Do you tear off the old roof?

Yes — a full tear-off down to the deck. We inspect the wood underneath and replace any rotten or soft decking before the new roof goes on. You see anything we find before it’s covered up.

How long does a roof take?

Most residential roofs are a one- to two-day job, weather permitting. We give you a real timeline at the consultation, not a guess.

What warranty comes with the roof?

A manufacturer system warranty on the materials when the full system is installed, plus 5-year Excel labor on the workmanship — and no service-fee gate when you call us out. The exact terms depend on the line you choose, and they’re written into your contract.
