"I recently used Forrest & Son Contracting (Roofing Repair) to repair my roof. The estimator clearly pointed out the issues readily noticeable and once upon the roof, identified others likely to occur. First, one tile was completely missing, and others misaligned occurring from an unknown circumstance. There were visible signs of tile shifting and material breakdown at the peak which needed to be replaced. Henry Forrest and his team did an amazing job! I am grateful for their many years of experience in the east valley."

"Roman Roofing was highly recommended to us by our neighbor. Daniel Stamps gave us a bid on removing our old tile roof and replacing with our roof with new tiles. Daniel was very knowledgeable, efficient and represented his company well. From the beginning, Roman Roofing employees were here when they said they would be, they are hard workers, and cleaned the area before they left. We are very pleased with the complete experience. We are happy to recommend their work ethic on a job well done."

"Jared Kurtz replaced our 20-year-old roof. We are extremely satisfied with the quality of his workmanship. He gave us a fair price, and we are so glad that he was honest and reliable. We could have lost our homeowners insurance if we did not install a new roof. We highly recommend him."

"Roofing Rx was on time and professional, Repairs seemed a little expensive for what they were but that just seems to o be the going rate for roofing companies. He did at least fix a few extra cracks and chips that werenâ t part of the original scope for no extra charge, which was nice. Iâ d use them again."

Roofing questions, answered by experts

You can put new shingles over old shingles, but most municipalities only allow for two layers of shingles before you have to rip off the old roof and start fresh. In some areas, only a single layer of shingles is allowed due to the weight a bundle of shingles adds to your structure. In most cases, it’s a good idea to remove your old shingles before you install new shingles, especially if you suspect that a roof leak may have compromised the decking underneath.

Rolled roofing averages $1.50 to $3 per square foot, with an average installation price of $7,500. This is less expensive than the normal cost for new roofs—traditional styles run between $4.35 and $11 per square foot, averaging $14,400.

16-gauge galvanized steel staples with a minimum crown of 15/16 inches or 24 millimeters are occasionally used to install shingles. However, most shingle manufacturers or residential building codes don’t recommend staples as a roofing fastener. Roofing nails are preferred in most cases, especially in areas that get a lot of heavy wind.

Underlayment is required by building code, so any roof installed without it is technically against code. The underlayment acts as the second layer of defense against water, so installing a roof without underlayment means a much higher risk of roof leaks. You’ll have the best chance of avoiding roof leaks if you install drip edge flashing covered by underlayment, and then install your roofing material over that.

The roof pitch on a Cape Cod house is normally 8/12 or 10/12, meaning the roof rises 8 to 10 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal run. This is steeper than the now-standard 6/12 pitch, as Cape Cod homes were originally popular in northern states, where the steeper pitch helped snowfall slide readily off the roof.
