"Solar tube installed efficiently and cleanly with no disruption. Technician installer Rick explained the options well, and made a good job of the break through to the roof, finishing off with an unobtrusive fitting that matched our Spanish tile roof. Very pleased with the result which has brought much needed light yo an otherwise dull hallway. "
"had him replace the roof on two houses was there when he said he was supposed be and finished the work when he said he would the work he did was good"
"Tim was punctual in arriving at my home on the scheduled day for the roof inspection/maintenance. He did a very thorough job and in fact re-sealed more than the four penetrations that were included in the package. He also found hail damage and is assisting me in dealing with my insurance company for a claim.
I would definitely use Tim Ehlers, dba Patriot Roofing, again in the future."
"I am very fortunate to have Andrew of Slender and Sons up on my roof. I had a misfortunate problem with a NEW one year old foam roof. The owner of the Camp Verde foam roofing company did a proper job when foaming the deck (floor) of the roof. The problem arose when he sent his employes out to finish the job foaming the parapet wall and parapet top. It was below average workmanship. When Andrew showed me the photos of the work done I sunk into a dark despair. This is my forever home and I need it to function properly. I called Andrew after the camp verde 10 year warranty did not even return a phone call to me after four times of calling. Andrew resounded promptly. I was very gun shy and did not trust anyone after what I saw in the roof photos Andrew took. Andrew explained what was done properly and what wasn't done properly and how he can rectify the situation. There was much to correct and picture do not lie! He was up on the roof for most of the day restructuring the roof inadequacies. If a roof does not function properly the whole house is worthless. When he finished and showed me the photos of his work I was very pleased. He knew the best approach to strengthen and restore a weak roof. I now feel protected from strong Arizona weather elements. I am relaxed to know I can count on Andrew. Wooh! I feel like I ran a marathon to have the roof redone properly before the monsoons set in heavily. Thank you Andrew and sons. Miss Hawk in Sedona"
"Bowtie replaced the roof on my garage a couple years ago when a tree fell on it. This time hail destroyed the entire roof (Murphy's Law?). They did a great job on the garage, so I had no reservations giving them this job as well. A team of about 6 guys showed up in the early morning on the appointed day and just got busy. The team worked well together and it was easy to see that they all knew what to do without being told. They finished the garage the 1st day, and came back the 2nd day to do the house. The crew replaced some rotted out wood sheathing that was discovered when they stripped the roof. They made sure the gutters were properly installed under the new drip edge. An unexpected bonus was the way they handled the lightning rods. The ground wires were neatly tucked under the ridge cap, out of view and greatly enhancing the beauty of the finished roof. Great idea! Bowtie also used a tough polypropylene underlayment when they could have gotten by using old-school felt. Dave and the crew kept me informed the entire time, and were always responsive to my questions and concerns."
Though cedar shakes often get confused with shingles, there are a few key differences between wood shakes and wood shingles. For one, cedar shingle prices are lower, although shingles are less durable than wood shakes. Cedar shakes are thicker than shingles (shingles range from about 3/8 to 1/2 inches thick, compared to 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick for shakes). Wood shakes are handmade, while shingles are usually machine-made. Also, wood shakes work better on steeper roofs than shingles do. While the cost of cedar shingles is more budget-friendly, there are many great reasons to choose shakes.
Technically speaking, yes, verbal agreements and “handshake deals” can be legally binding contracts that will hold up in court, but the suing party will need to be able to prove that the parties entered into the contract. Even though verbal and handshake deals can be binding, it’s risky to rely on these types of agreements for anything, including roofing projects. Always aim to get your contract in writing, and make sure it includes all terms and that you don’t agree to additional terms that don’t appear in the contract.
The best material to sheath a roof will depend on your budget and if you require the strength of more robust materials. For most homes, the added strength is unnecessary, and oriented strand board, or OSB, makes sense. It’s inexpensive and robust enough for most roof types. Another popular but slightly more expensive option is plywood.
A roof pitch that’s too shallow won’t shed runoff as quickly, so you have an increased risk of water intrusion through the seams between your roofing materials. In colder climates, snow and ice will accumulate more easily on your roof, which can add enough weight to cause roof collapse and structural damage to your home.
Fall is widely considered the best time of year to replace a roof. The moderate temperatures are ideal for roofing crews to work and for new shingles to seal properly. Additionally, autumn weather is often drier, reducing the risk of weather-related delays compared to the rainier spring season.
While spring is also a viable option, the higher chance of rainfall can slow down the project. The main drawback to a fall installation is that it's the peak season for roofers, which can lead to higher prices and scheduling challenges.
To potentially save money, you could consider scheduling your roof replacement during the summer or winter off-seasons. However, both seasons have significant disadvantages. Extreme summer heat can make shingles too soft to handle, while winter's cold, snow, and ice can create dangerous working conditions and prevent shingles from sealing correctly, as they typically require temperatures above 40-45°F.
