"Franos Roofing is a very professional, transparent company that was honest, communicated the process well, and kept me in the loop step by step with the entire process. Arek was pleasant to deal with and took the necessary time to talk about the type of roofing products that would be used. I am confident in recommending Franos Roofing for anyone looking for a full roof and gutter replacement. Thank you Arek and Franos Roofing!"

"I had a major leak in the flat roof on the back addition on my home. Angelo, Guardian Roofing s owner, sent out his estimator on Tuesday and my roof was fixed by Saturday. He and his workers were very professional and safe...he wore a mask and kept a safe distance. I had someone else come and give an estimate and they didn t wear masks and did not try to socially distance while talking. I had a complete tear off with a new roof installed. Angelo took pictures of the work before, during and after. They did a fantastic job. Completely cleared all the debris from the job. I m extremely satisfied with the work and the price. He was easy to work with and communicated with a written quote of all the work that needed to be done. I highly recommend him!"

"Very happy with the outcome. We were dreading this job as we have extensive plantings around the entire perimeter of our home. A tear-off and roof replacement is by definition a very messy job. The crew did a great job protecting and respecting our numerous plantings -- thus we had minimal damage. They spent significant extra effort to haul all the debris across the roof to small landing spot in front. Not the cheapest bid but we are happy we went with this boutique roofing -- quality materials and crew"

Roofing questions, answered by experts

Once framing is complete, you will need the following materials to roof a house:

  • Wood sheathing

  • Drip edge, a.k.a metal flashing

  • Underlayment for waterproofing

  • Roof covering, like metal or asphalt shingles

Yes, an underlayment is required for metal roofs, especially when installed over an indoor residential living space. This underlayment acts as a protective barrier between the metal roofing and the roof deck. Common materials include tar, asphalt felt, or woven synthetic polymers. Depending on local building codes, existing shingles in good condition may also suffice. A quality underlayment is crucial as it provides protection against water intrusion, improves energy efficiency through insulation, helps absorb sound, and ultimately extends the lifespan of your roof.

There are several pros and cons of flat roofs. One disadvantage of flat roofs is that you lose potential attic space because it's flat. Flat roofs tend to pool water and because they lack an angle, any leak in the roof—usually due to a bad seal—has the potential to let in a lot of water. They don’t work well in climates with snow. Flat roofs are also structurally weaker than sloped roofs.

The amount of hail damage that warrants a roof replacement depends on the size of the hail. In many cases, a roof replacement is needed if your roof gets hail that is 1 inch or larger in diameter. You may also need to replace a roof due to hail damage if you notice several dents in the shingles or there are seven to 10 hail impact marks within a 10x10 foot area on your roof.

You should plan on waiting as long as it takes for the roof deck to dry out completely if it gets wet. In most cases, this will take about 24 hours, but it could take longer if you have shading on your roof or cloudy weather after the rainfall that prevents the sun from drying the material.
