"This company is outstanding. They tore off the old roof and replaced a new roof in 9 hours with a crew of 7. Everything was put back in place and cleaned up perfectly. I did not find one nail anywhere after they left. This is the second time High Top Roofing was contracted to do the job in 18 years. Great company and Dan is wonderful to work with."

"My sales person Ian Holland is the best, he was kind, friendly and very professional. He provided an estimate, (which was a great price compared to the other roof estimates that I had received) and explained everything that was involved in tearing off the old roof to installation of the new roof. I would strongly recommend A&D Home Improvement for all of your home improvement needs. The contractors and staff were very patient, and helpful in answering all my questions. I am happy with my new roof. They do great work!"

"Daniel helped us resolve a very difficult and stressful roofing problem. We had a new roof installed on our home, but it was not done properly. Daniel carefully inspected the situation, worked with us to develop a solution, and installed a high-quality roof built to last. He also helped us determine the right ventilation system, giving us confidence and peace of mind. I highly recommend Daniel for inspecting, planning, and installing residential flat roofs."

Roofing questions, answered by experts

Pea-sized hail can damage a roof if it experiences hailstorms often, as it slowly causes cracks and deterioration to your shingles. Usually, one hailstorm with pea-sized hail won’t damage your roof, but if you see other damage to your car, grill, and other property, it may be worthwhile to get in touch with your insurance company and have a local roofer come out for an inspection.

Architectural shingles typically last between 20 and 30 years. While some manufacturers provide warranties for 30 to 50 years, particularly for extreme weather, achieving such a long lifespan is uncommon. The actual life of your shingles can be shorter if you live in an area prone to strong winds, hailstorms, or other severe weather. To avoid the risk of roof failure and costly water damage from leaks, it is recommended to replace your roof before it reaches the end of its expected life. Scheduling regular roof inspections every few years is a good way to assess your roof's condition and determine the best timeline for replacement.

Roof sheathing can buckle from moisture damage, too much weight from roofing materials, or too much space in between rafters without thicker sheathing to compensate for the added distance. Bucking roof sheathing is a serious problem that can lead to a collapsed roof, so have a qualified roofer near you come to identify the problem as soon as possible. 

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.

Here are a few tips on how to choose a roofer:

  • Get everything in writing

  • Ask for insurance, license, and bond, then verify them

  • Check their reviews 

  • Ask for recommendations

  • Get multiple quotes

You’ll also want to watch out for any red flags like:

  • Pushy sales tactics

  • Not willing to show necessary documentation

  • Bad gut instincts
