"Bright Side gets a 5 star rating. They had good reviews from a few people I knew in the area. They have very fast, professional and courteous workers and used high quality GAF roofing rated for 50 years and 130 Mile per hour winds. The roof looked great. Roof replacement was completed quickly and professionally in one day. The crew did a good job of cleaning up the old shingles. They also used a large wheeled magnet to retrieve the fallen nails from the old roof around the house. I do my own lawn and shrubbery maintenance and nothing was damaged. I also have grand children who play around the house and in my shrubbery. Not having to watch for nails was a great relief. I was told that this crew was one of their best and fastest. That was very reassuring. They replaced bad porch roof rafters and plywood roofing as I requested with Matt, the site manager. They did a good job. No leaks in several two day rain periods. The entire roof Fascia was removed and changed to PVC board fascia by the Bright Side carpenters at my request. I furnished the PVC Fascia to replace the aging wood Fascia that would no longer hold the gutter nails or a paint job. I am getting too old to enjoy these house painting joys. The Bright Side carpenters did a professional job installing the new PVC Fascia. I was pleasantly surprised in that at no additional cost, the carpenters used special screws to attach the fascia boards instead of nails making the installation more solid. The old gutters were extremely long and difficult to remove to replace the Fascia.  The backs of the longer gutters were no longer straight. Looking at them with Dave the Manager, I decided to replace the gutters as he recommended. Re-use of the old gutters would cause leaks and streaks on the new very white Fascia boards. I am pleased I decided to also replace the gutters. Brand new white gutters on brand new white PVC fascia boards made the house look sharp giving great contrast under the new roof. I almost do not recognize the old house. It looks so new."

"John is a knowledgeable roofing repairman and knows how to assess a roof's shingles, vents, and flashing. We really only needed new flashing and vent caps to protect the life of our roof. I feel that my leak has been taken care of and other leaks potentially avoided thus extended the life of my architectural shingles... well worth it!"

Roofing questions, answered by experts

Yes, it’s possible to replace drip edge flashing without removing shingles, but it’s not a good idea. You’ll have to lift the bottom shingles up to remove the old drip edge, install the new material, and then lay the lifted roofing material over the new drip edge. Bending roof shingles can cause damage, and if you have ongoing issues with roof leaks that prompt drip edge replacement, it’s a good idea to consider a roof and drip edge replacement to avoid ongoing issues.

The terms “roof sealant” and “roof coating” are used interchangeably to describe the rubber, silicone, polyurethane, or acrylic product applied to the roof’s surface for waterproofing and UV protection. Products like roof caulk can also be called “roof sealant,” but the term is more commonly used for the protective coating.

More and more insurance companies are writing torch down applications out of their liability insurance for contractors. If torch down is covered, they generally require a worker to stay on site for two hours after the last flame is extinguished.

For this reason, cold application modified bitumen—also known as “peel and stick”—is becoming more popular, and torch down is decreasing in popularity. Modified bitumen is taking its place, as it uses both hot and cold applications.

Properly installed chimney flashing can last anywhere from 15 to 50 years. However, flashing generally only needs to be replaced when it is damaged, corroded, or no longer creates a watertight seal. Several factors influence its longevity, including the material type, quality of installation, and local climate. For example, copper flashing tends to last longer than galvanized steel. Large storms and extreme weather can also damage flashing, potentially requiring earlier replacement. To ensure its longevity, it is recommended to have your chimney and roof inspected annually. A professional can assess the flashing's condition and recommend any necessary repairs.

Manufacturers, insurance companies, and municipality regulations are phasing out three-tab shingles. Because of their short lifespan and lack of durability compared to other roofing material types, manufacturers are leaning toward better products, and cities and insurers are starting to require better building materials overall. However, 3-tab shingles are still for sale, and some roofing companies still install them.
