"Rod was very pleasant to work with and the job was completed as expected. The crew showed up a little late, but didn't affect the time-line or the outcome. The project was completed on-time, on-budget, and looks great! I would use R & J Williams again for any house projects."

"We had roof replaced along with siding, gutters, faisha, sofets and two windows. They came over right away for an inspection and to give a quote. Got started right after supplies arrived. If any problems came up explained the problem and what would be done to fix it."

Roofing questions, 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.

Whether or not the terms of your roofing estimate are negotiable depends on the contractor. Some professional roofers will be willing to budge on labor fees to some extent, while others will simply walk away from the potential work rather than lower their fees. In most cases, it’s best not to negotiate the terms, as lower labor charges could lead to your contractor cutting corners. Material costs aren’t negotiable, but you could purchase them yourself to try to save on delivery fees and markups.

Look for certified local roofing contractors with plenty of experience working with cedar. There are also several important roofing questions to ask before choosing a roofer, including whether they are licensed, bonded, and insured. Once you’ve rounded up a few good candidates, compare estimates and hire whoever gives you the best bang for your buck.
