"Mr. Reynolds came out the SAME DAY that I called, a Saturday. It was a day of heavy rain and flooding (and therefore the leaks in the roof revealed themselves). He had to drive far out of his way to get to me because of the flooding in his rural area, but he made it. I was very grateful because my home was on the market, and I was fretting over the time and cost of roof repairs. Mr. Reynolds checked out the roof and gave me a reasonable estimate that day; he honored the Angie's List coupon I had. I owned half a duplex, and he looked at my neighbors' side as well. Their side also had soil pipes that needed to be replaced. The neighbors half was also on the market. Mr. Reynolds felt an inspector would cite the need for repairs. I was able to let my neighbor know of the situation so he could check for leaks and not have an unpleasant surprise in his house during showings. The repairs were completed a few days later. PSR made the extremely inconvenient and untimely situation as painless as possible. "
"Gary, was very helpful and pointed me on the right direction after I had discussed my concerns. Had he been able to help me I would have gladly hired him. My system ended up being under warranty and he suggested I contact the manufacture as to not void my warranty."
"We were contacted within hours of the time I had requested information on roofing companies in the area. We were given an estimate within the week and work was completed within 6 weeks.. We have a home that dates into the 1800s, 2 story with attic; and this required removing multiple layers of shingles down to the original wood shakes and starting from scratch. We are extremely happy with the results, the professionalism of the crew, their strong work ethic and desire to do the best job."
The proper specifications for furring strips can vary, so you should always consult the roofing manufacturer's guidelines or your roofer. However, general recommendations are as follows:
Thickness: Furring strips are typically 1 to 1-1/2 inches thick, meaning standard 1-by or 2-by lumber works well. In areas with extreme winds, a thinner strip may be preferred to limit how much air can get under the roof and cause uplift. A thicker strip can add slightly more insulation but will also increase installation costs.
Spacing: The recommended spacing for furring strips is between 12 and 24 inches apart on center. Proper spacing is crucial for ensuring good airflow, adequate drainage, noise reduction, and better energy efficiency. The ideal spacing can depend on the roof's pitch and the specific type of metal roofing being installed.
Installing solar panels involves drilling small holes in your roof to secure the solar panel mounting brackets. These brackets hold the solar panels in place and must withstand strong weather conditions so they’re secured into your roof. However, holes and screws are sealed to prevent leaking and further damage.
A few disadvantages of installing solar panels on your roof include the high up-front costs and the potential for increased property taxes. Installing solar panels can increase the home’s value, which in turn can mean higher taxes. Depending on your area, you should check with your local tax offices for more information. Another potential pitfall is roof leaks from a poor installation, but this shouldn’t be an issue if you hire a reputable company.
The most common slope range for roofs on houses in snowy areas is between 4/12 and 6/12, or 50%. A roof with a slope of less than 10%, or roughly a 2/12 pitch, won’t be effective at shedding snow. However, roofs that are too steep can allow large amounts of snow to build up and fall all at once, creating a hazard for those on the ground.
Flapping shingles, or shingles that are lifting or curling away from your roof, can be glued back into place using roofing cement or sealant. Apply the glue underneath the shingle, then press it down firmly. You can leave a brick on top of the shingle to hold it in place overnight while the sealant dries.
