    Myth: A Replacement Always Takes Weeks

    Many replacements are completed faster than homeowners expect. The timeline depends on size, complexity, and weather — not a fixed number. BST provides a specific schedule with your estimate.

    Myth: A New Roof Is Just New Shingles

    A proper replacement is a full system: underlayment, drip edge, ridge vent, flashing, and shingles working together. Skipping components to save money leads to leaks and shorter lifespan. BST installs the complete system.

    Myth: All Warranties Are the Same

    Warranties vary widely. BST roof replacements are backed by a lifetime warranty plus manufacturer warranties on materials — protection you don't get from uninsured or unlicensed contractors.

    Myth: The Cheapest Bid Saves You Money

    The lowest price often means cut corners and thinner materials, leading to earlier failure. A complete installation with premium materials protects your investment for far longer.
