"I was very impressed with the efficiency of JL construction. I had a lot of damage to the north side of my roof, two porches, and garage they had to raise the roof, tear out and put in new roof rafters, put in new roof, and then shingles. I also had inside work to do. They were done in a timely manner with excellent work I have four bids for the job. JL Construction’s bid was closest to the insurance appraiser. Plus the other 3 bids were only for Roof . I would recommend JL construction to anyone looking for a contractor who does everything?"

Whether replacing the entire roof or just installing roof shingle replacements in small areas, always pull up the old roof shingles. While you can technically put new roof shingles (but not other roof materials) over old shingles, this can add weight strain to the roof and prevent the new shingles from securing properly to the roof.
Yes, copper roof strips can help prevent shingle damage and are an alternative to algae-resistant shingles. They work in a similar way: they release copper ions that interfere with algae, moss, and other plant growth. Algae feeds on limestone in your roof shingles, and moss can uplift shingles and increase the risk of leaks. If you have issues with algae or moss on your roof, copper roof strips can help avoid damage.
No, a chimney crown is not the same as a chimney cap. A chimney crown is a flat cement area on top of a masonry chimney. It starts where the masonry part of the chimney ends at the very top and domes upward toward the flue opening. A chimney cap sits on top of the crown over the flue. It is usually made of metal and allows smoke to escape without letting in rainwater.
