"Excellently! We had a beautiful new roof installed in one day. Everyone was professional, friendly, and the yard was left cleaner than when the team arrived. You can’t beat JL Construction! Josh gave us a quality roof, the same brand shingles the competition was offering, costing thousands of dollars less!! 5 STAR RATING!!"
"I RECEIVED A COMMITMENT TO HAVE THE ROOF REPLACED AFTER IT WAS INSPECTED BY EXCELLENT EXTERIORS... AT THIS TIME NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE...STILL WAITING FOR THEM TO DEAL WITH INSURANCE COMPANY IN HOPES OF GETTING INSURANCE MONEY THAT WILL SAVE ME MONEY AND ALSO LET THEM CHARGE MORE THAN THE PRICE WHICH WAS QUOTED IN YOUR OFFER.... I BELIEVE THEY ARE DEALING WITH ME IN GOOD FAITH, BUT I WAS ORIGINALLY WANTING QUICK SERVICE BECAUSE I HAD A PENDING SALE OF MY HOUSE... THAT DEAL FELL THROUGH, BUT I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A MESS IF IT HADN'T. I THINK YOU SHOULD CALL THEM AND LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU ARE GETTING A NEGATIVE REVIEW AND THAT THEY SHOULD STAY ON TOP OF THIS COMMITMENT."
If your roof has storm damage, there will be some telltale signs. These include missing, loose, or damaged shingles. You may notice cracks or dents on the metal parts of your roof, like flashing, gutters, or metal panels. Water leaks are another big indicator. So are visible signs of impact. Rather than climb up on your roof to check, hire a professional to inspect the area safely.
The formula for calculating how many squares of roofing you need is pretty easy. Take the total amount of square footage and divide it by 100. With this formula in mind, a 2,000-square-foot roof would require 20 squares of roofing material to adequately cover it.
Underlayment is required by building code, so any roof installed without it is technically against code. The underlayment acts as the second layer of defense against water, so installing a roof without underlayment means a much higher risk of roof leaks. You’ll have the best chance of avoiding roof leaks if you install drip edge flashing covered by underlayment, and then install your roofing material over that.
Roofing material costs vary depending on the type of material you choose and whether you install it yourself or hire a roofer. Shingles are the most affordable option and cost between $70 and $400 per square, metal roofing is between $100 and $1,500 per square, and concrete tile is between $300 and $1,000 per square.
While you can stay at home during a roof replacement, you probably won’t want to, as it’ll be very noisy. The area around your home will also be messy, as roofers will be discarding old roof material and storing their equipment on the ground.
