"We had our roof replaced with GAF shingles by American Cool Roofing and the whole process was excellent. The crew was professional, efficient, and finished the job on time. The roof looks amazing and the quality of the work is very noticeable. Hailey provided outstanding customer service and kept us informed throughout the entire project. Highly recommend them!"

"Ken Armstrong gave a prompt response and appointment made. Thorough inspection advising that the 18 year old composite shingle roof was in good shape, but quoted anyway. Will definitely contact the supplier again in case of roof questions or service."

"I am very pleased with the work Lifetime Roofing & Renovation, Inc. provided for me. I had contacted several roofing companies prior to contacting Lifetime Roofing.I was given an estimate affordable to my cost, the detail of the work and a date of completion. I was contacted by Dylan, who was overseeing the project and if I had any questions as the roof was being completed, I HAD NONE! I cannot express how pleased I am with my roof, I absolutely love it. I would highly recommend Lifetime Roofing & Renovation, Inc. to my family and friends. Thank you Lifetime Roofing for a job well done."

Customers say: True professional

"My roof was leaking around the fireplace and my gutters needed replacing but I was hesitant to hire someone as I didn’t know who was reputable. I noticed my neighbor who had roofers repairing the area around his fireplace and I got his roofers names. His roofer was Jorge Maldonado (415) 424-1274. Jorge does roofs (replacement and repair), deck repairs, siding repairs, fencing repairs and exterior painting. I had him check my roof and he patched up the area around the fireplace, explaining what he was doing each step of the way. He also sealed all the roof vent pipes. I also had him replace my rain gutters and he disposed of the old ones. I was happy when Jorge said that my roof did not need replacement at this time, that it was good for about 5 more years. Jorge and his crew did an excellent job. Jorge explained each step of the way and was clear on the price. The workers arrived on time, worked efficiently together getting the job done, and cleaned up after themselves. After Jorge did my roof, another neighbor had him do partial rain gutter replacement for her home. I was really pleased with the job he did and plan to contact him when my roof needs replacing or my side fences. Recommend him to anyone who wants an excellent worker!"

"Rhinos Roofing exceeded my expectations. Miguel was able to realistically assess the job and provide me with a detailed quote. His team executed the work flawlessly. I purposely waited until the bulk of this winters rain had past before posting a review. Clearly a successful roofing job. He is also a really nice person and I have no doubt that he would be a very reasonable person to work with had any issue come up. My new roof is fantastic and it looks nice too. Pricing was reasonably as well. God Bless Rhinos Roofing!"

Roofing questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Architectural shingles and impact-resistant shingles aren’t mutually exclusive, which means some architectural shingles are impact-resistant shingles. Architectural shingles are thicker and more durable than standard 3-tab shingles, and they become even stronger when they also have high impact resistance and wind resistance ratings. The most durable shingles for areas with extreme weather are architectural or luxury shingles that have a Class-4 impact resistance and a Class-H wind resistance that can stand up to winds reaching 150 mph.

Yes, chimney flashing is an important element in the complex system that is your roof. Chimneys (and anything else that goes through your roof) provide a great opportunity for water damage. Good flashing prevents a lot of potential damage. 

Roofing felt is the most common type of roof underlayment, likely because it has been around the longest. It’s called roofing felt because it is often made of felt soaked in asphalt. Depending on the type of roofing a home has, roofing felt comes in different thicknesses. 

If properly installed and maintained, roofing felt should last between 10 and 25 years.
