4 Crucial Signs That say “You Need to Replace Your Roof”

Roof Leak

The most obvious sign of needing to replace your roof is a roof leak. If your roof is older than 14 years old and it has a roof leak most contractors will not warrant any repairs done to the roof because of the age.
The roof looks shiny from the ground

The common thing when the roof looks shinny is the fiberglass is showing on the shingles. This means a good portion of the shingles granules are missing and what is left is mostly fiberglass. At this point, the roof needs to be replaced soon or you may have major roof leaks.
Blown off shingles

When your roof is older and shingles keep blowing off it means the sealant is starting to fail. When this happens any wind storm may put your roof at risk of serious leaks.
Your roof is 15-20 years old

New Roofing asphalt shingles offer a lifetime warranty. Your older 3 tab shingles only come with a 15-20 year warranty and most of the time

If you are experiencing any one of these issues above please be sure to reach out to Heins Contracting at 608.732.9063

When I first started looking for a contractor to repair my roof, I had 4 different quotes from 4 very different contractors. Not knowing anything about roofing, I could only go on what each contracting representative could do in regards to answering my questions, and getting a good sense of what kind of follow through each of the 4 companies could offer. I was also very interested in how these representatives would be "present", in working with my insurance company. When it came time to choose, the only representative that stood out from the rest was Adam from Heinz contracting. Adam was very patient and kind in each step of the process, and I immediately got a sense of relief that my wife and I would be taken care of throughout the stress of this experience. Even when Adam informed me that he would be on a short leave of absence to tend to his wife and 2 new twin daughters, he assured me that Brandon of (Heinz Contracting) would be be present during his absence. Brandon showed up at my house the next day to help set up the appointment to meet with my insurance company. When Brandon called to let me know how things went, I was again more assured that I chose the right company.Moving on to the spring and getting our new roof and gutters installed and completed, my wife and I are extremely pleased with the work that Heinz Contracting said they would do. Again, it's all really a massive heart felt "THANK YOU" to the talents of Adam, Brandon and their crew. I would never tell you what to do, but I will ask, if you are looking for a contractor to help you through a process, where it seems difficult to choose, please reach out to Adam and Brandon of Heinz Contracting before you make your choice. Heinz Contracting followed through with what they said they would do!

Heins Contracting recently installed new windows and siding on my home. They were professional, efficient and communicative to work with from sales rep DJ Burris, Project Manager Josh Smith and both the siding and window crews that completed the work on my home. They left behind no mess! The work was completed on schedule and within budget. I love how beautiful my house looks now! I highly recommend Heins Contracting for any of your siding and/or window needs.

I hired Hein’s Contracting to replace siding on my insurance office in Dodgeville and they were amazing to work with on the project! Very detailed estimate, great communication and extremely organized. I worked with DJ Burris on the estimate and Josh was the project manager- I highly recommend them!

I recently had all the windows in my house replaced. The crew doing the work did a great job, and they were very accomodating to my schedule, I work from home, there were no disruptions from my job. I worked with DJ Burris on the project, he was excellent to work with, very helpful from the beginning through the completion of the job. DJ was always available for any questions that I had, he made multiple calls and even stopped in just to make sure I was happy with how the project was going. I would recommend Heins to anyone looking for a contractor.

Wow… what a job well done! New siding, roof, and window. They had everything cleaned up every day before they left. They moved fast. DJ was so easy to work with and his team was great! They really deserve 6 stars in my book. Thanks Again Heins Contracting for the amazing transformation. I love it! 💚
