"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."
Using an ice and water shield underlayment under a metal roof is a good way to protect the roof and your home from damage in colder climates that see a lot of winter weather. Traditional underlayment isn’t effective underneath a metal roof, though, so be sure to install one specifically made for metal roofs to get the best protection.
A cool roof is any heat-reflecting roof that rejects solar energy more efficiently than traditional roofing (staying about 50 degrees cooler). Thanks to this ability, a cool roof will make your home cooler on a hot, sunny day. Cool roofs come in a variety of materials, including asphalt, wood, or polymer shingles, clay or concrete tiles, metal, and more.
The roof overhang, also known as the eaves, does count as part of the roof’s square footage because it must be covered with the roofing material. The overhang is one of the reasons why you can’t base your roof's square footage on the square footage of the house. The roof square footage must also account for the pitch of the roof as well as the eaves.
Yes, a new roof will add value to your home, often providing a return on investment (ROI) of between 60% and 70%. Not only will a new roof boost curb appeal, but savvy homebuyers will also know that a new roof means they won’t have to worry about roof leaks and related damage for years after closing. They’ll also know that they’ll save money by potentially having decades before they need to worry about paying for repairs or replacement.
Fall is widely considered the best time of year to replace a roof. The moderate temperatures are ideal for roofing crews to work and for new shingles to seal properly. Additionally, autumn weather is often drier, reducing the risk of weather-related delays compared to the rainier spring season.
While spring is also a viable option, the higher chance of rainfall can slow down the project. The main drawback to a fall installation is that it's the peak season for roofers, which can lead to higher prices and scheduling challenges.
To potentially save money, you could consider scheduling your roof replacement during the summer or winter off-seasons. However, both seasons have significant disadvantages. Extreme summer heat can make shingles too soft to handle, while winter's cold, snow, and ice can create dangerous working conditions and prevent shingles from sealing correctly, as they typically require temperatures above 40-45°F.
