Customers say: Terrific value

"I was so lucky when Mike responded to my request for an asphalt shingle repair for tiles which had blown off my roof during a strong wind storm in February. He was just great, he was honest and fair. While other roofing companies wanted to replace my entire roof, Mike advised that I did not a new roof, and that all I needed was a patch job. He found a great color match and my roof was repaired the next day, just in time for our spotty rainy weather in March and now April. I would strongly recommend IM Roofing."

The name says it. Roofing is a craft, and craftsmanship is the part we care about most. We take real pride in the roofs we build.\n We're with you the whole way, from the first visit to long after the last shingle is on. Homeowners are trusting us with their biggest investment, and we don't take that lightly. We treat every house like it's our own.\n Your roof needs to do two things: hold up for decades and look great doing it. We build for both. And if something isn't right, we come back and make it right. Simple as that.

"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."

"We're thrilled with the work done by Platinum! They replaced our entire roof, and we couldn't be happier. The price was fair, and the quality of their work was an exactly what they mentioned to us when they first gave the estimate. We were so impressed that we've already decided to hire them for our family business's body shop roof. If you need roofing work done, these guys are the ones to call!"

Roofing questions, answered by experts

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

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.

Here are a few tips on how to choose a roofer:

  • Get everything in writing

  • Ask for insurance, license, and bond, then verify them

  • Check their reviews 

  • Ask for recommendations

  • Get multiple quotes

You’ll also want to watch out for any red flags like:

  • Pushy sales tactics

  • Not willing to show necessary documentation

  • Bad gut instincts

If your roof is nearing the 20-year mark in age, you probably should start worrying about the roof’s longevity. If you don’t know the age, it may be time to figure out who installed your roof, so you can estimate the age accurately. You then can make plans to pay for the upcoming roof replacement. You also can learn how to inspect a roof yourself to look for signs of damage that may indicate a need for a replacement.

Roofing estimates and inspections are not the same thing. Roofing inspections (whether done with a drone or by the traditional method) help you find any damage or defects on a roof. You will pay a set fee for a roofing inspection and use it to get certification or to determine whether repair or replacement is necessary. Beware of unsolicited contractors coming to your home and offering a so-called free roof inspection—these are often scams.

Roofing estimates, on the other hand, are typically free and offered by a roofing company hoping to earn your business. Some roofing estimates are performed with drones, while other companies will still opt to send people up onto the roof. Either way, the estimate is for roof repair or replacement costs the company wants you to hire them for.
