Start with the property and the roofing help you need.

Around the University

The first sign is usually somebody else telling you

Usually it starts with a phone call at nine at night, or a photo forwarded twice before it got to you, and you're deciding about a roof you haven't seen. If you live in the house yourself it arrives differently, as a gutter pulling loose or a shingle in the yard after a windy night.

Fayetteville Select Roofing starts with what you have been told, then our roofers check the condition and explain the options. You decide on the contracted work. If water is actively coming inside, mention it when you request help so protecting the building can be discussed alongside the repair.

A rental roof needs a clear line from tenant to owner

Near the University, a roof question can start with the person living in the building and end with an owner somewhere else. A forwarded ceiling photo is useful, but it is not the roof diagnosis.

Tell the roofer who manages the property, who can provide access and who is authorized to approve work. That keeps the tenant from being left to organize a job that belongs with the owner.

What an older roof on these blocks runs into

Where a house has been adapted or extended, a newer roof section can meet an older one. Access and authorization also matter when the owner lives elsewhere.

Steep pitch, and plenty of it

A tall gabled roof carries far more surface than the footprint suggests, and every valley funnels water off two planes into one line. Nobody walks a pitch like that casually.

Water with time to work

An unreported drip can allow more damage before anyone arranges a repair. Ask tenants to send the location, timing and any changes promptly. The inspection still has to establish the source and how far moisture has spread; the length of the delay cannot tell you how much decking needs replacing.

Cars in the way of the work

Parked cars can limit room for deliveries and disposal. Tell the roofer how the drive and curb are used, where tenants need access and what can be cleared for the work.

From campus out through the rest of Fayetteville

Whoever's living in it

What owners near campus ask before they decide

Ownership, tenants and the fall calendar, because that's most of what changes on these blocks.

Who decides on a roof when the building has tenants in it?

The owner or authorized property manager normally approves contracted roof work. A tenant should report the problem to management promptly, with what they noticed and when. A roof inspection can then establish the work needed at the property.

I rent here and the roof is leaking. What can I do?

Tell your landlord or the management company, and write down what you saw and when you saw it. Keep what you can out of the water's way, because the roof itself isn't yours to fix. If the owner wants it looked at, they can ask and our roofers go out. Your part is the report, and the rest of it belongs to whoever holds the deed.

Does a home game get in the way of work near the stadium?

Game-day traffic and parking can affect deliveries and access near the stadium. The owner and contractor should check the University’s current arrangements for the actual work date rather than assume an ordinary weekday approach will be available.

What if the roof turns out to be fine?

Sometimes the roof is fine, and that's a real answer. A roof can look bad from the ground and still have years left in it, and if that's what it turns out to be, that's what you'll hear. The visit doesn't change because the answer was nothing yet.
