"We have a Victorian style home with a very steep, high-pitch roof, so finding a roofer willing to actually get up there and inspect it properly was not easy. Max with Imperia Roofing was the only one who didn?t just look from the ground. He got up on the roof himself, checked everything in detail, and explained exactly what needed to be done. He was great to work with from start to finish, very straightforward and easy to communicate with. The work was performed quickly, stayed on schedule, and the finished roof came out great. If you have a steep roof or a more complicated project like ours, I highly recommend Max and Imperia Roofing. Don?t look elsewhere."

"They are experienced roofers that are proud of their work. Prices are competitive and I am glad I did not have to waste time collecting several quotes. They come to inspect your roof, explain in details roofing terms in a clear way I understand, then they give you the estimate and from there it is a straight forward process. Next thing I know my roof was repaired in a couple of days. The workers are hard working people and the supervisor is there to overlook everything and make sure to resolve any unpredictable situation. There was a bird nest near my chimney and they placed the nest with a couple of eggs on a nearby tree. That was so thoughtful! A few years forward, there is no issue on my roof. My house is 40 years old and I need a new roof to be able to install solar. But the repair done by KiTA guys was so well done that I am postponing. I will hire them again and recommend KITA Roofing for family and friends."

Roofing questions, answered by experts

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.

Many insurance policies will not cover a roof with two layers of shingles. An additional layer of shingles increases the risk of various kinds of damage, and insurers typically won’t pay claims on a roof with an overlay. Adding a layer of shingles may even jeopardize your insurance coverage entirely, so check your policy to ensure you stay within coverage guidelines. 

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.

If you’re building the roof trusses yourself, which isn’t recommended, it will be more affordable than buying pre-built trusses. Trusses cost more because they use the same amount of material, but you’ll also be paying for the labor, as well as the delivery to your home. However, if you’re having a contractor build the roof for you, then trusses will be less expensive, as the labor costs to build roof framing on-site will cost more.

The best type of roof vent depends on the size, type, and construction of your roof as well as the environmental conditions in and around your home. In many cases, an active ventilation system that draws in fresh air and exhausts air out through the attic is the most effective. Active ventilation systems include roof ridge vents with baffles, turbine vents, and soffit vents that are used together with another type of vent.
