"We had a new roof put on our house in early August, 2021 by Community Roofing. They did an excellent job; there was hardly any waiting, they did it all in a day, the clean-up was great, and the roof looks good. Among the few cost estimates we had considered, Community Roofingâ s was the lowest, which caused us to be somewhat skeptical at first. But after a chat with the company president, we felt comfortable and did hire actually them. As of today, we are glad that Community Roofing replaced our roof and would warmly recommend them."

"I had a shingle roof, fascia, soffits, gutters and drain pipes replaced. The entire job took less than week! The crews showed up early and worked until dark. They were skilled and answered all my questions. The roof and all the metal work are beautiful. I had several estimates before I selected Zeller. The estimate Mario put together was detailed. He spent at least an hour looking at my roof and took about 50 pictures of my roof and attic. When he was done he explained what I needed to do and answered all my questions. At this point I decided if their estimate was competitive I would go with Zeller. Once the job started he kept in contact just making sure that the work was going well. Putting a roof on my house is the most expensive home improvement I have had done. I was a little apprehensive. It was a great experience. I recommend Zeller to anyone thinking about a new roof."

"They were professional, efficient, and cost effective. The communication every step of the process was being expectations. I wish they traveled to other states because the attention to detail is rarely seen nowadays."
"Came out. Evaluated the work to be done. Quoted a price. Since I was moving shortly, fit me in their schedule. Excellent work. Even sealed along the edge of the roof, which was above and beyond what they had committed to do. Don't hesitate to hire these guys."
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.
Hiring a reliable roofing contractor requires finding a company in your area with years of experience, holds the necessary licensing, and has a history of positive customer reviews and services. Start by researching whether a roofer you’re considering hiring holds the necessary certifications. Consider requesting customer references from your top contenders. Finally, get quotes from a few roofing companies and decide which provides the best value overall.
The average cost to winterize a house is about $250, but it can range from $65 to $1,000 depending on the type of work that needs to be done. For homeowners that are experienced DIYers, it can save quite a bit on costs. However, you shouldn’t attempt tasks you aren’t familiar with or are potentially dangerous.
A solar roof can replace an existing roof. Solar panels fit on top of traditional roofs. In contrast, solar roofs that contain photovoltaic (PV) materials, like solar shingles and solar tiles, are standalone roofing systems installed as a main roof. In some cases, installers can place them on existing roofs and as part of new construction. Carefully assess and choose the right type of solar roof replacement for your home and needs.
Gable vents are more common in older homes built before the 1970s. Homes built after this era use ridge vents or soffits, but you can sometimes find homes with both gable and ridge vents. Gable vents can have a purely aesthetic purpose, while ridge vents hide in the roof shingles so air can flow under the roof while keeping the attic dry.
