"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."
Furring strips (also called wood stripping) are not always necessary for a metal roof installation, but they are highly recommended and may be required by local building codes or the roofing manufacturer's specifications. There are several key reasons to use them:
Energy Efficiency: Furring strips, made of wood or metal, create an air gap between the metal panels and the roof deck. This acts as a thermal break, reducing heat transfer into your home and improving overall energy efficiency.
Moisture and Condensation Control: The air gap allows for better airflow, which helps prevent moisture buildup and condensation under the metal panels.
Structural Support: They provide a solid, even frame to which you can attach the metal roofing panels.
It is especially important to use furring strips when installing a metal roof over existing shingles. Without them, the roof surface can be uneven, and you will experience greater solar heat gain.
A roof's lifespan can range from 15 to 200 years, with an average of 25 to 50 years, depending heavily on the material, quality of installation, maintenance, and local climate. Asphalt shingle roofs are common and typically last 15 to 30 years; three-tab shingles have a lifespan of about 20 years, while architectural shingles can last up to 30. More durable materials have longer lifespans: metal roofs last 30 to 100 years, clay and concrete can last 50 to 100 years, and slate roofs can last up to 200 years with proper care. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning gutters and replacing damaged shingles, is crucial for extending the life of any roof.
If you choose to get a personal loan to finance a roof, you will want to aim for a “good” or “excellent” credit score for the best rates. That means a credit score of 690 or more. If you aren’t sure of your credit score, you can request one free credit report per year from each of the three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Many banks also provide free credit reports monthly.
The cost to install a drip edge on an existing roof runs about $1 to $3 per linear foot, which comes out to between $150 and $1,000, with an average cost of $575. These are just averages; the total project price can vary depending on the type of drip edge chosen and whether you hire a professional for the installation. Factors like roof size, complexity, and labor rates also play a role in determining the final cost.
The purchase price of 3-tab shingles is less than that of other material varieties, such as architectural shingles. However, 3-tab shingles generally last far fewer years than even the least expensive architectural ones. Other roofing types, such as metal or clay, also cost more than 3-tab shingles. However, if you plan to stay in your home for many years, the long-term cost of any of these options can compete with 3-tabs because of their longevity.
