Q: Why do roofing estimates vary so much?

• <div><p>Roofing estimates vary for many reasons, but the most significant ones include differences in the cost of labor based on the contractor&rsquo;s experience and overhead costs, as well as the quality of the materials your roofer will use for the job. You should get your estimates itemized and make sure your contractors include details about the materials they plan on using. Doing so allows you to compare not only based on the cost but also the value that you&rsquo;ll get for your money.</p></div>

Q: Does roof overhang count as square footage?

• <div><p>The roof overhang, also known as the eaves, does count as part of the roof&rsquo;s square footage because it must be covered with the roofing material. The overhang is one of the reasons why you can&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: What are the four types of roof decking?

• <div><p>The four types of roof sheathing are plywood, oriented strand board (OSB), planks, and tone-and-groove boards. The overwhelming majority of homes use the first two (especially OSB) and the other two are not often seen outside of special use cases. Methods of sheathing include solid sheathing, open sheathing where there are gaps, and plank sheathing. Most roofs are solid sheathing.</p></div>

Q: How many snow guards do I need on my roof?

• <div><p>The number of snow guards you&rsquo;ll need on your roof depends on factors like the type of roof you have, its slope, the orientation of your home, and the snow load in your area. A local roofing professional or the snow guard manufacturer can help you determine the ideal amount.</p></div>

Q: Do metal roofs insulate better than shingle roofs?

• <div><p>Asphalt roofs provide better insulation than metal roofs, but that doesn&rsquo;t always mean that asphalt roofs are better for reducing heating and cooling bills. In hotter climates, metal roofs will usually be better for home efficiency because the material reflects more sunlight and reduces solar heat gain. In colder climates, asphalt roofs are sometimes superior in terms of efficiency because they introduce more solar heat gain to your home and have greater insulating capabilities. However, metal roofs installed with an air gap can provide similar levels of insulation.</p></div>

"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?"
