"I just had my roof replaced with Lane Roofing. Shawn Keys was very honest and helpful. He inspected my roof and told me everything that needed to be repaired and replaced and updated me through the whole process and shared photos from start to finish. The crew was great. They showed up early and cleaned up like they were never there. I would highly recommend Lane Roofing & Exteriors."
"Yellowfin did a fantastic job replacing the roof on my 14x14' gazebo. Now, I can use it again, without getting wet! The staff was professional and the quality good. I would recommend them in a minute! Carole"
"Exceptional work by the team at M.R. Hunter. Old cedar siding removed, new PVC siding installed. The new siding retained the look of the original wood with the advantages of a maintenance free material. The MR Hunter team was professional, listened to any concerns, maintained a clean work site, showed up and worked full days. We are enjoying the new siding and highly recommend MR Hunter."
"Pete and his team did an outstanding job from the moment they arrived until the final clean-up. What a hard working team! Pete did a great job communicating with me prior to the job and updating me throughout the day during the job. We love our new roof and the quality job! We were impressed with the clean up...not a single piece of trash was left behind!! I would highly recommend Pete and his team for any roofing job and would be pleased to serve as a reference to any potential future clients of Spicer Brothers."
"I received professional and prompt service. My roof was replaced for a fair price by a very professional crew. I would recommend this company to anyone thinking about replacing their roof."
"Bachmans treats their customers right. We had a problem with a connection on our solar system and they resolved things to our complete satisfaction. We have used Bachman’s for roofing, siding, and solar and look forward to working with them in the future."
"I am an avid reader of reviews but seldom write reviews unless a review is truly warranted (good or bad). In this case, I feel the need to share my positive experience with Callaway Corporation since this is uncommon in my area, especially with contractors. I cannot say enough great things about Callaway Corporations, to include Keith, Katharine, and all of the hard workers that actually installed my new roof. Keith is amazing, going above and beyond to assist with providing insurance information. Keith made many extra trips to my house to meet with Insurance Adjusters before I even agreed to hire him. Katherine worked relentlessly to coordinate everything, including the removal of my solar with the solar company. The guys who installed the rood worked from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., with maybe a 30-minute lunch break, to ensure the work was completed in a timely manner. Callaway definitely exceeded my expectations with customer service, workmanship, and level of professionalism. I would not hesitate to call on Callaway Corporation for any future needs."
"Jordan Taylor was our rep and did an outstanding of explaining the entire process to us, including how to submit the roof replacement to insurance due to a wind storm. He was super responsive for every question, and he personally got our HOA approval, then walked it through the town govt to get the permit! On the day of installation, his team worked efficiently and quickly, and our roof was completed by late afternoon, including full and thorough cleanup. Jordan came back the next day to walk the property to make sure all garbage was picked up. Economy Restoration will also provide a Quality Control person to go up on the roof for the final inspection, which really gives us a secure feeling. Our roof is amazing, along with the entire process and the pricing is very fair. I highly recommend Jordan and Economy Restoration!"
"Total replacement of both house & separate 3 car garage... including plywood underlaymemt. Crew arrived promptly and completed entire job in just 1 day. No old roofing material left all over the yard. Michael was very thorough in his initial presentation....polite, friendly, yet professional. We would most certainly hire them again."
Yes, you should seal and cap an unused chimney to protect it from damage. Sealing the structure helps prevent moisture damage, which can lead to issues like cracks, spalling, efflorescence, and damaged mortar joints. Capping the chimney is also crucial to prevent blockages, damage from invasive critters, and downdrafts, while still allowing for proper air ventilation to manage moisture. For the best results, consult a chimney professional to select the right type of chimney or flue cap for your home. It's also wise to continue with annual chimney inspections to maintain the structure's integrity.
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.
Roofers most often use nails to fasten roofing shingles and other roofing materials. Nails have more holding power than staples and offer better weather resistance and longevity. However, it is possible to use staples instead of nails when installing a roof. Staples are less expensive, but not as high-quality.
Winter is the least expensive time of year to replace a roof due to decreased demand. However, it’s not an ideal time to replace your roof, as there are numerous factors that can inhibit the work, including shorter days, snow and ice, and cold temperatures.
If you’re looking for a cost-effective alternative to a traditional chimney, consider having a dummy chimney installed. Dummy chimneys can either be aesthetic-only or fully functional and can be installed on both new and older homes. Whether installed to match your neighborhood’s aesthetic or to vent your chimney, dummy chimneys are made out of a Glass-Reinforced Plastic (GRP) core, then covered with brick or stone slips to look like a traditional chimney.
