"We had a very good experience with Griffin’s Roofing Service in Russellville, AR. The crew was hardworking, respectful, and completed the roof quickly without cutting corners. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and they answered all our questions honestly. The cleanup was thorough, and the new roof looks fantastic. Highly recommend that you talk to Zach (479-518-3064) if you need dependable roofing work."
"Free estimate, good work. Had a problem with a door that came up when he was here, asked could he fix that problem. He fixed the door right away. Respectful of us & our property."
"The service that was provided was great.! I need blinds installed and help putting up my curtains. My living area looks wonderful . I would hire again."
"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!"
"I've had several inspections in my past & never have had such a great experience. He didn't hurry doing the inspection, I know the home owner was nervous each time he stopped to write something down on his report. He wrote up the roof & sad to have new roof put on, which helped out big time. We are looking to sale this home to downsize & will see him again."
"Did a great job and I was worried about some of the limbs he was cutting falling on the power line, but Alfredo cut all of them without any problem to the line. He did a good job."
"All the work was on time and to satisfaction! The crew was kind and professional! I would definitely use this company again for all my home improvements!"
Hail is unlikely to damage a tar and gravel roof because the hailstones will hit the protective gravel rather than your delicate roof membrane. A tar and gravel roof is the most resilient flat roof option, which means it’s the best one for areas that see hail, fallen tree debris, and blown debris from intense winds.
The placement of snow guards depends on the individual roof, but typically snow guards are placed between 12 and 18 inches from the eaves, though they can be placed as close as six inches and as far as 24 inches from the eaves. A roofing professional can assess the roof and potential snow loads to determine the best placement.
Some people prefer to use connectors consisting of galvanized metal to replace the birdsmouth cuts on the rafter board. Common names for these metal pieces include hurricane ties and variable-pitch connectors. Making birdsmouth cuts is more cost-effective than purchasing these connectors for each rafter. However, because making large birdsmouth cuts to accommodate extra-wide exterior walls can weaken the rafter, a connector may be the better option in some cases.
The ideal color for your roof depends entirely on your preference. If you’re looking for something classic, gray, brown, and black will rarely steer you wrong. A roof with a pop of color like green or red can be sophisticated and elegant when paired with the right colored siding. Decide what vibe you’re looking for and choose a color palette that suits you.
The most important thing to remember when laying shingles is to work from the bottom of the slope to the top. This leaves you with a top overlap that directs runoff from one row to the next until it reaches the eave for disposal. You should also make sure you follow the manufacturer's instructions and the local building code for nailing patterns and frequency so all of your hard work stays put through varying weather conditions.
