"I?m extremely happy with the new roof installed by Enrique?s Roofing. It looks fantastic. After reaching out to several companies for estimates, Enrique?s stood out, not just for their competitive pricing, but for the confidence and trust they inspired from the very beginning. Sergio, the rep and foreman was great and the crew is extremely hard working, respectful, and clearly took pride in their work. They didn?t rush to just ?get the job done?, they worked efficiently, paid attention to detail, and had a great attitude. I appreciated the positive reviews as they were spot on. I highly recommend Enrique?s Roofing to anyone looking for quality work and a trustworthy team."

"Dan called yesterday shortly after my initial inquiry. He arrived a little ahead of schedule which was great. He inspected the roof, provided a very reasonable repair estimate, and then completed the work. I would/will recommend High Top Roofing and will use the company to replace the roof completely next spring."

Roofing questions, answered by experts

The best material to sheath a roof will depend on your budget and if you require the strength of more robust materials. For most homes, the added strength is unnecessary, and oriented strand board, or OSB, makes sense. It’s inexpensive and robust enough for most roof types. Another popular but slightly more expensive option is plywood.

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. 

Good news—asphalt shingles, including architectural shingles, are easily recycled. Talk to your roofing contractor to find out if recycling options are available in your area.

If recycling isn't available, your roofing contractor may recommend renting a dumpster, if your project is on the large side, or collecting the shingles in contractor bags to throw them away. Another option may be to donate new or gently used shingles to a local nonprofit.

The terms “roof sealant” and “roof coating” are used interchangeably to describe the rubber, silicone, polyurethane, or acrylic product applied to the roof’s surface for waterproofing and UV protection. Products like roof caulk can also be called “roof sealant,” but the term is more commonly used for the protective coating.

Roof underlayment usually lasts as long as the roofing material that covers it, as it’s not directly exposed to the elements. In most cases, roofing companies will replace the underlayment each time they install a new roof. In some cases, particularly with slate, clay, or certain metal roofs that can last 50 to 100 years, your underlayment may require replacement within that timeframe, especially if you start to notice roof leaks.
