Can a flat roof be raised?

• <div><p>Technically a flat roof can be raised but it’s extremely expensive and there would not be much of a point. Most homeowners raise the roof in their homes to access the space between their existing ceiling and the roof but <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-of-flat-roofs.htm">flat roofs</a> don’t have this space. Therefore, you can raise a flat roof, but it involves heavy structural modification.</p></div>

How do I find a roofing company I can trust?

• <div><p>After you take steps to determine when your roof was last replaced, you may realize you need a new one. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-hire-roofing-contractors.htm">Hiring a roofing contractor you can trust</a> involves asking for references and examples of past work. Verify any qualifications the roofer provides. Ask about the expected time to complete the work and about putting guarantees in writing.</p></div>

How long does a roof overlay last?

• <div><p>A roof overlay will last an average of 15 years, compared to the 20 to 30 years or more that a full roof replacement for a shingle roof will last. An overlay’s lifespan may be shortened even further if there’s underlying damage to the existing roof or structural problems with the roof supports.</p></div>

Even though it was not included in the estimate they applied rubber paint to the top of the chimney on metal pan that was starting to rust no charge. Their estimate was the lowest of three. Showed up the morning after I accepted the bid and finished the job in one day. Very satisfied.

The leak was under the floor, so instead of digging up the tile in our hallway, the plumber capped the defective pipe and ran a new one through the attick to the kitchen. It was a tedious task, but all went well. The plumber was extremely professional and a pleasure to deal with.

They came out when called, were very polite and proceeded to locate the other end of the 'problem pipe'. Fortunately they were able to locate it and then had to cap it off at both ends and run a new pipe up through the crawl space and down into the wall. Sounds easy, but it was not. At least...
