"They were great! Jon worked with me and my insurance to get us a new roof and new gutters after the August derecho. He was quick to respond anytime I had questions and gave me great advice on working with my insurance to make sure we got full coverage. I’d happily call them again for any and all roofing needs."

"Troy and crew did a tremendous job for us, we have a large home with a steep roof. Troy was very responsive throughout the entire process, the crew cleaned up the site at the end of each day and did a great job. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for roofing repairs or an entire new roof like we had done."

This is the 1st time that I have dealt with shingling a roof and replacing siding.  I knew it could get pricy so I got several bids.  I was lucky to work with Jason.   He set up an appointment with me at my convenience within a few days. He came to my house and I expressed my concerns with the roof (part flat over porch and rest shingles).  He did go onto the roof and did a inspection and determined both were in need of replacement.  He then measured the house for siding.  He had brought samples of shingles and siding for me to look at and gave a high level process explanation of the work.  Within a week I received a call to make an appointment to come to their office to go over the bid estimate. Jason showed me a variety of siding products and explained the differences between them.  He also showed me sample of shingles that I could choose between and also explained in detail the products that would be used for the flat roof.  He had taken the time to write up bids for each type of product so that I would know the cost of each.  I very much appreciated the information he shared with me and felt I could make an intelligent decision on what product would be best for my budget. 

I give Jason an A for the following:

Responsiveness - responded to my initial call and follow up calls with questions that I had.

Punctuality - would set up a time to meet and was always on time.

Professionalism - friendly, knew his products and explained things in a manner that made sense and could understand.

Unfortunately, the price was not within my budget.  Several other companies bids were more budget friendly.

I would recommend getting a bid  estimate from Buresh Home Solutions - they do have excellent products and I do believe that would do  a great job with installation as well.

The Villa Awning has a full cassette protecting the fabric when retracted. It is available in smaller mounting widths, and due to a different type of support in the awning frame, it does not require as much frame support.

"From the first contact to the end I was impressed with the responsiveness and professionalism that Mid States Carpenters exhibited. Our roof need to be replaced and due to the timing I was concerned about getting it done before the snow started and temperatures dropped. Mr Penny with Mid States Carpenters was quick to respond and was at my home with a crew in less than a week. Once the crew started my new roof was done in under 2 days, which I would like to add was the 23rd of December. Due to the urgency of the project the insurance claim did not get processed correctly so we were only getting a $300 reimbursement. When I told Mr. Penny about this he stepped in and spoke to the adjuster and provided additional details and photos. The insurance re-opened the claim and paid nearly 50% of the cost of the new roof. I am certain that without him going the extra mile for me I would have been out of luck. I would recommend Mid-States Carpenters to anyone and am so impressed by them that I have shared my experience with anyone that will listen. 5 stars isn't enough in my book."

"Frederico was fast, thorough, and professional. While other contractors were messaging me back and forth, he scheduled an inspection the same day I reached out and did the work the next day. I had a leak in my roof. He repaired the plywood beneath and covered the gap with fresh tarp and shingles, and placed a new foot on my city power connection to prevent the problem from recurring, for under $400. I will definitely call them for future roof repairs."

Roofing questions, answered by experts

If you need to replace the roof over your attached garage, a roofing contractor can perform what is called a partial roof replacement that only affects garage roofing. However, it's important to keep in mind that only replacing a portion of your roof creates a situation where your roofing has two different lifespans. You will also miss out on the opportunity for a full roof warranty. In some cases, having two different roofs on your home could increase risks for leaks. When replacing the roof on a detached garage, homeowners have the option to make the project bigger by upgrading their home roof alongside their garage roof. However, this isn't necessary if your home has a newer, properly functioning roof. It is better to try to match the new garage roof to your home's existing roof instead.

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 flat roofs don’t have this space. Therefore, you can raise a flat roof, but it involves heavy structural modification.

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.

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.

A gable roof with steep pitches covered in asphalt shingles or wood shakes is the most popular roof for Cape Cod homes. Asphalt shingles started gaining popularity in the early 1900s, so wood shake roofs, which were popular in the 1700s when Cape Cod homes were first built, are the traditional option. You can further modernize your Cape Cod home by raising the roof in the front, back, or both to add living space and change up the traditional single-gable roof with doghouse dormers.
