"My experience with Roofing Experts was very positive. The owner took time to answer any questions or concerns I had and explained the process very well. He showed me pictures of houses and samples of roofing colors to choose from for my new roof. The company is professional and timely to meet your needs. I would recommend Roofing Experts to any one looking for a roofing company. Dwight Pruisner"

"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.

"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

Though cedar shakes often get confused with shingles, there are a few key differences between wood shakes and wood shingles. For one, cedar shingle prices are lower, although shingles are less durable than wood shakes. Cedar shakes are thicker than shingles (shingles range from about 3/8 to 1/2 inches thick, compared to 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick for shakes). Wood shakes are handmade, while shingles are usually machine-made. Also, wood shakes work better on steeper roofs than shingles do. While the cost of cedar shingles is more budget-friendly, there are many great reasons to choose shakes.

Yes, gable vents can let water in. That being said, this usually only occurs during extreme conditions like heavy rainfall. You can prevent water from entering through gable vents by adding a screen that traps the water before it can enter.

A roof pitch multiplier is an accurate way to calculate roof square footage, and it’s handy for purchasing the correct amount of materials. To determine your roof pitch multiplier, you'll need to calculate the roof slope, square it, and add it to 144. Next, find the square root of the total and divide it by 12. The answer is your roof pitch multiplier. Once you know the roof pitch multiplier, multiply it by the total square feet of your building to determine the total roof surface area.

There are two main types of roofing shingles: 3-tab and architectural. Architectural shingles cost more than 3-tab but offer a more unique look and can last longer. However, 3-tab shingles are lightweight and affordable, and many people use them for both patching roofs and installing new roofs. Ultimately, the best type for you depends on your budget and your home’s aesthetic.

Copper roofing works well in all kinds of climates, but it’s ideal in humid climates because it naturally repels fungus, moss, and algae. This makes it one of the best roofing options for Cape Cod homes in the Northeast, as well as homes in the humid southern states and snowy northern states. That said, copper is vulnerable to thermal expansion. If you live in a climate that has extreme temperature changes, your contractor will need to consider this during the installation process.
