"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. "

"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."
The proper specifications for furring strips can vary, so you should always consult the roofing manufacturer's guidelines or your roofer. However, general recommendations are as follows:
Thickness: Furring strips are typically 1 to 1-1/2 inches thick, meaning standard 1-by or 2-by lumber works well. In areas with extreme winds, a thinner strip may be preferred to limit how much air can get under the roof and cause uplift. A thicker strip can add slightly more insulation but will also increase installation costs.
Spacing: The recommended spacing for furring strips is between 12 and 24 inches apart on center. Proper spacing is crucial for ensuring good airflow, adequate drainage, noise reduction, and better energy efficiency. The ideal spacing can depend on the roof's pitch and the specific type of metal roofing being installed.
Removing snow from your roof can help prevent ice dams, but the best thing to do is address insulation issues in your attic. If you do decide to remove the snow manually, you should always use a roof rake rather than a shovel. You shouldn’t climb your snowy roof in any circumstance, and roof rake allows you to remove the snow from the ground or a ladder. For the best results, remove snow as soon as possible after it falls.
You can secure roof decorations like inflatables and other Christmas decor by tying a rope or attacking bungee cords to your roof clips. Depending on the pitch of your roof, you can use sandbags for extra support. Like with Christmas lights, avoid using staples or duct tape.
Yes, capped chimneys should still be vented. Failing to vent a chimney will result in condensation buildup inside the chimney, which commonly results in mold growth. If mold begins to grow in a chimney, it frequently goes undetected and spreads quickly through the home. Mold and moisture can damage the structural integrity of your home, and exposure to mold can cause discomfort and illness in residents.
The average cost to winterize a house is about $250, but it can range from $65 to $1,000 depending on the type of work that needs to be done. For homeowners that are experienced DIYers, it can save quite a bit on costs. However, you shouldn’t attempt tasks you aren’t familiar with or are potentially dangerous.
