"The contractor was working on the skirting when I got home from work. He showed me what he had completed and what he was doing on the second side of the mobile home. He was doing an excellent job and was very conscious about doing it right. I am very pleased with the work."

"After an unfortunate leak on the main level we had water damage in our basement walls as well as around a doorframe. They were prompt in their arrival and handled the removal of debris as well as redoing the drywall, doorframe, texturizing and painting all in a couple of days. They were very knowledgeable and explained their approach and why they were doing what they were and asked for input on any changes or options they had. Would wholly recommend!"

"I’ve had Brett help me with multiple projects, and every experience has been excellent. He’s someone I know I can count on to be responsive, professional, and most importantly, make sure the job is done right. Most recently, after a major hail storm came through our area, Brett was extremely quick to respond and was one of the first contractors to get out to my property. He took the time to look everything over, explain what needed attention, and help me through the process. What has always impressed me about Brett is the pride he takes in his work. He doesn’t cut corners or rush through something just to say it’s finished. He makes sure it’s done correctly and goes above and beyond to take care of his customers. I’ve trusted Brett with multiple projects and will continue to do so. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, honest contractor for roofing, siding, or gutters."

"Derek was very responsive to my questions and any concerns I had. He was patient during the shingle selection process and even suggested having my dog leave the day of the install so she wouldn't be upset. I have a beautiful new roof, and I'm very happy with the overall experience!"

Roofing FAQs, answered by experts

No, there’s no specific building code that requires a roof overhang. However, installing your roof with the standard 2-inch overhang is good practice, as it helps direct runoff away from your fascia boards and roof decking and into your gutters. Some overhang is especially important in areas that see heavy rainfall and snowfall, as the risk of water getting under the roofing material and causing water damage is much higher.

Roof work is dangerous and exacting, and a misstep could lead to even more costly repairs, so we do not recommend DIYing. If you are dead set on giving it a go, practice safety measures. Wear a harness, only work during mild weather, and have a partner to help. Potentially DIY-friendly jobs include patching up small leaks, sealing areas around the chimney, and replacing a few shingles.

Yes, installing a new metal or tin roof can increase your home's value. A metal roof's longevity and durability are major selling points for prospective buyers, as it means they likely won't have to worry about a roof replacement. These roofs can last 40 to 80 years, which is significantly longer than traditional asphalt roofs.

In terms of return on investment (ROI), homeowners may see an increase in home value of around $7,000 to $8,000, which can represent 60% to 70% of the installation cost. Another way to measure ROI is per square foot, which can range from $3.00 to $8.40, with higher returns in areas where a durable roof is particularly beneficial.

It’s possible to walk on a clay tile roof, but you run the risk of breaking or cracking the tiles if you’re not careful, so it’s best not to walk on it if you can avoid it. If you or a contractor needs roof access, be sure to distribute your weight evenly and step on the portions of tile that are also supported underneath, which depends on your tile design. Walking on any roofing material is inherently dangerous, so wear rubber-soled shoes and use safety equipment if you need to access your roof.

Homeowners insurance does not usually cover roof soft spot repair. Since this damage is usually caused by wear and tear and often found on aging roofs, your insurance claim will likely be rejected. If a soft spot develops due to damage from a storm, repairs may be covered, but in general, expect to pay out of pocket for soft spot repairs.
