Common FAQs
01
When will the dumpster/materials be delivered?
The dumpster is typically delivered one day before installation; if not, it will arrive on the morning of installation. To ensure proper placement, please keep cars out of the driveway and park on the street all day prior. Dumpsters can be dropped off anytime between 8 AM and 5 PM
02
When will the dumpster/materials be delivered?
The dumpster will be picked up within 48 hours of job completion, but only Monday through Friday. If your job is scheduled for Friday or the weekend, the dumpster will be removed the following Monday or Tuesday.
03
Do I have to do anything or be home?
No, you do not need to be home. However, we highly recommend moving any items away from the house, such as patio furniture, grills, and potted plants.
04
What if wood needs to be replaced?
Wood replacement is normally addressed and billed separately. Please refer to the Contract for Goods and Services for wood pricing, which is listed at the bottom.
05
What happens with the insurance carrier?
Homestyle will submit all completion photos and the final invoice to process payments after project completion (if applicable).
06
How long will the install take?
Ninety-five percent of our roof installations under 40 SQ and on walkable roofs are completed in one day, possibly two. For roofs over 40 SQ, there is a higher chance it will take two to three days to finish. We will keep you updated if the project takes longer than anticipated.
Gutters are roughly 1 day. siding 2-4 days, and all other projects will be around 1-2 days each
07
What happens to extra materials?
We typically send more materials than billed to the Purchaser(s) to account for unforeseen issues, such as damaged shingles, waste, mistakes, and measurement errors. As a company, we find it more efficient to order extra and return any surplus rather than make 2-3 trips on installation day
08
Will someone oversee my project to ensure it is completed correctly?
Homestyle assigns a dedicated production manager to every project, who will be on-site at key points during the installation and serve as your main contact for all installation-related questions.

Homestyle will conduct a final inspection within 48 hours of installation completion. If this does not occur, please call our main office to schedule.

11
Who do I give the final payment to?
Sales person or the production manager on site. Call the office to make payments also.
12
When will we be called to schedule our installation?
Homestyle will contact you approximately one week before the estimated date outlined in your signed Contract for Goods and Services to schedule
FAQ About Roof Repairs
01
How do I know if I need a roof replacement instead of a repair?
If your roof is over 20 years old, has widespread damage, frequent leaks, or missing shingles in multiple areas, a full replacement is often the best long-term solution. We’ll always give you an honest assessment.
02
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements can be completed in just one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof and the weather conditions.
03
What types of roofing materials do you offer?
We offer a variety of high-quality materials, including asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and other options to match your home’s style, durability needs, and budget.

05
Do you offer financing for roof replacements?
Absolutely. We have flexible financing options to help make your new roof affordable, with quick approvals and plans to fit any budget.
FAQ About Roof Ventilation
01
Why is proper roof ventilation so important?
Proper roof ventilation keeps fresh air flowing through your attic, preventing moisture buildup, mold growth, and heat damage. It also helps your insulation work more effectively, keeping your home comfortable and energy bills lower.
02
What do baffles do in my attic?
Baffles, or rafter vents, keep air pathways open between your soffit vents and attic, making sure your insulation doesn’t block airflow. This helps maintain consistent ventilation throughout your attic space.
03
How can I tell if my attic is under-insulated?
Signs include uneven temperatures in your home, high energy bills, ice dams in winter, and drafty rooms. A professional inspection can determine if your insulation is adequate and properly installed.
04
Will adding baffles and insulation really save me money?
Yes! Together, they help your HVAC system run more efficiently, reduce heating and cooling costs, and can extend the life of your roof by preventing moisture and heat damage.
05
Do you offer financing for insulation and ventilation upgrades?
Absolutely. At HHI, we offer flexible financing options to make it affordable to improve your home’s insulation, ventilation, and energy efficiency — all backed by our workmanship warranty and commitment to quality.
FAQ About Metal Roofs
01
How long does a metal roof last compared to traditional shingles?
A properly installed metal roof can last 40-70 years, while traditional asphalt shingles typically last 15-20 years. It’s a long-term investment that can save you money on future replacements and repairs.
02
Is a metal roof noisy when it rains or hails?
No — today’s metal roofs are installed with solid sheathing and insulation that significantly reduce noise. Most homeowners say they hear little to no difference compared to other roofing types.
03
Will a metal roof make my house hotter in the summer?
​Actually, metal roofs reflect solar radiant heat, which can reduce cooling costs by 10-25%. Many homeowners find their energy efficiency improves year-round.
04
Do metal roofs hold up well in Northeast Ohio’s weather?
Absolutely. Metal roofs are designed to withstand heavy snow, ice, high winds, and temperature swings. Plus, snow slides off easily, which helps prevent ice dams.
05
Are there financing options available for a new metal roof?
Yes! We offer flexible financing options, including same-as-cash, long-term, and short-term plans to keep your project affordable — with quick approvals to get started right away.
06
Can I choose different colors and styles for my metal roof?
Definitely. Metal roofs come in a wide variety of colors, finishes, and profiles, so you can boost your home’s curb appeal while protecting it for decades.
07
Is a metal roof heavy? Will my house need extra support?
No — metal roofing is actually lighter than asphalt shingles or tile, so in most cases, no additional structural support is needed.
08
Do metal roofs attract lightning?
No — metal roofs do not increase the likelihood of a lightning strike. They are non-combustible and actually help protect your home in the unlikely event of a strike.
09
Are you insured and bonded for metal roofing installations?
Yes — Homestyle Home Improvements is fully insured and bonded, and all of our installers are trained to ensure your new metal roof is done right.
10
Do you offer warranties on your metal roofs?
Absolutely. Our metal roofs come with lifetime manufacturer warranties plus our own workmanship guarantee for your peace of mind.
