"J&Z Roofing did a fabulous job from beginning to end. They were quick to schedule the roof assessment, gave an accurate estimate, and performed the work. The crew was on time, efficient, and hardworking. The roof looks great and the crew did a superb job of cleaning up. I highly recommend them."
"I was super pleased with this group of folks. I found them to be excellent at their jobs, reliable, and honest. I would highly recommend them to anyone. They stripped my roof and replaced the singles in one day."
"Scott Roofing did a tremendous job and I would highly recommend them. He was very nice and kept me well informed every step of the way. Thank you Scott Roofing."
"This is to put on record our complete satisfaction with and gratitude to Chris Dixon of Capital Home Improvements for fixing what seemed to be an unfixable leak around the chimney in our roof. This is going to be a long story, but since it has a happy ending, I hope you will humor me by reading it! First, although he was booked up with replacing roofs affected by the latest hailstorm in the area, Chris called us about our problem as soon as he heard from Home Advisor--which was immediately. He came out late that same afternoon. He and his assistant looked at the flashing and the leak stains in the ceiling, found a gap where water seemed to be coming in, and poured a little water in it to verify the problem. Then they simply sealed the flashing at the leak point! Since then weâve had days of sometimes very hard rain, and the leaking has not recurred. The reason we are so pleased with this repair is that ever since we replaced the cedar shake roof around 2001, the chimney has leaked. The original contractor came back two or three times trying to fix it but the leaking continued. We had another contractor in to fix it sometime around 2007, but after several attempts he was also unable to fix the leaks. A hailstorm last year totaled the roof, and we had someone on Angieâs List replace it, telling them about the old leak. They checked the flashing, said it looked good, put new sealant in various places, and assured us that would fix it. It worked until we had another severe rainstorm, when leaking resumed. We asked the roofer to come back and fix it, but he said heâd done everything he could and couldnât help us. Thatâs when we got in touch with Chris, through Home Advisor, with the results Iâve described above. It took Chris and his assistant maybe ten minutes to figure out the problem and fix it! It seems like a near miracle to have this seemingly perpetual problem fixed. With a trusted professional like Chris to advise us in future, we feel confident that we can finally replace the damaged ceiling and check for mold or other incipient problems. You cannot imagine how relievedâeven overjoyed!âwe are to have this seemingly insolvable problem solved!"
"Very professional and excellent work. They were available afterwards coming in contact with a bad general huandy man. Bobby is a hard worker ensuring the customer is satisfied"
"Erie Homes was great. Ty and Chris shared the information about roofs in a clear and precise way. I love the high quality of the roofing materials and the standards they hold their workers to when placing the roof. Mike called me each step of the way, so I was prepared when the roofing supplies showed up. I even got calls after the beautiful roof was done. Amazing job!"

A well-maintained tile roof can last anywhere from 40 to over 100 years, with its exact lifespan depending on the material and level of care. Proper maintenance, which includes keeping the roof clean, free of debris, and performing routine repairs for any cracked tiles, is crucial for longevity. The lifespan varies significantly by tile type:
Clay, terracotta, and slate tiles are highly durable and can last over 100 years.
Concrete tiles typically last from 30 to 100 years.
Metal tile roofs generally last between 40 and 70 years.
Composite tile roofs have a lifespan of 20 to 50 years.
Be aware that maintenance for a tile roof can sometimes be more expensive than for an asphalt roof.
The principal, common, and auxiliary rafters are the most frequently used types of rafters. Principal rafters are large and typically appear toward the edges of the roof. Common rafters are smaller than principal rafters. Some people may use a mix of common and principal rafters. The auxiliary rafter is not common, but it provides extra reinforcement for a principal rafter on a large building.
There are several pros and cons of flat roofs. One disadvantage of flat roofs is that you lose potential attic space because it's flat. Flat roofs tend to pool water and because they lack an angle, any leak in the roof—usually due to a bad seal—has the potential to let in a lot of water. They don’t work well in climates with snow. Flat roofs are also structurally weaker than sloped roofs.
No, ice dams aren’t a standalone sign that you need a new roof. Ice dams can form on new roofs, as issues with the insulation inside your home are often the underlying problem. However, if you notice signs of roof damage from ice dams, you might need to hire a local roofer for repair or partial replacement.
A roof replacement will usually include removal of your old roof, shingle replacement, and a new roof underlayment, but it may only include adding new shingles if you’re layering new shingles over the old shingles. If you have signs of roof leaks or your roofer finds water damage to the roof decking underneath your old roof, it can also include replacement of the OSB or plywood decking that lays over your rafters and supports the roofing material above.
