"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."

"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."

Customers say: Quick response

"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

Most traditional lenders will not loan against a house with a leaking roof, and some lenders won’t lend against a home with a roof near the end of its lifespan. If the roof on your new home is in poor condition, you may need to have the seller offer a credit for a roof replacement after closing, or you can opt for a renovation loan—also called a 203k loan—to bundle the house and the roof replacement into one loan.

Gaps between tiles are necessary to help with weatherproofing, allow for thermal expansion, and increase wind resistance. In general, a small gap no larger than 3 millimeters wide will encourage proper drainage and limit cracking. Beyond that, tiles should overlap a minimum of 3 inches, except at the eaves where they should extend to the center of the gutter.

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.

Furring strips (also called wood stripping) are not always necessary for a metal roof installation, but they are highly recommended and may be required by local building codes or the roofing manufacturer's specifications. There are several key reasons to use them:

  • Energy Efficiency: Furring strips, made of wood or metal, create an air gap between the metal panels and the roof deck. This acts as a thermal break, reducing heat transfer into your home and improving overall energy efficiency.

  • Moisture and Condensation Control: The air gap allows for better airflow, which helps prevent moisture buildup and condensation under the metal panels.

  • Structural Support: They provide a solid, even frame to which you can attach the metal roofing panels.

It is especially important to use furring strips when installing a metal roof over existing shingles. Without them, the roof surface can be uneven, and you will experience greater solar heat gain.

The roof pitch on a Cape Cod house is normally 8/12 or 10/12, meaning the roof rises 8 to 10 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal run. This is steeper than the now-standard 6/12 pitch, as Cape Cod homes were originally popular in northern states, where the steeper pitch helped snowfall slide readily off the roof.
