"New Roof We hired the RAM roofing and remodeling company for replacing our roof in Louisville. We were very pleased with their work. They provided quality work and material. They arrived on time and worked very hard and finished the job on time. They cleaned up spectacularly after they finished the work. My husband taught for forty years and I taught for thirty five years and we both recognized the quality in Isaac in the first couple of minutes. He is the roofer who loves his job. He takes pride in his excellent work and service. He is honest and trustworthy. We had the best experience with Isaac, his company, and his hard working team. Isaac and his team are reliable, professional, skilled, and highly knowledgeable. Isaac explained how they would complete the new roof step by step, he answered our questions. I highly recommend Isaac, Ram roofing and remodeling company, and their staff. They did an excellent work."

"I reached out to Brian on a Saturday due to the roof leak and needing a tarp put on before the rain comes. He came the same day and instead of just giving me a temporary fix with the tarp, he fixed the problem at a reasonable price."

Roofing questions, answered by experts

No, a chimney crown is not the same as a chimney cap. A chimney crown is a flat cement area on top of a masonry chimney. It starts where the masonry part of the chimney ends at the very top and domes upward toward the flue opening. A chimney cap sits on top of the crown over the flue. It is usually made of metal and allows smoke to escape without letting in rainwater.

Skipping the installation of a drip edge or gutter apron can lead to significant water damage. Without this component, water is more likely to seep under roofing materials or leak behind gutters, damaging the fascia, soffits, siding, and even the interior of your home, such as the attic. Over time, this moisture can cause rot, mold, and deterioration. In colder climates, a missing drip edge also increases the risk of ice dams, which can lead to expensive repairs. A drip edge is an essential part of a roof's drainage system, and some local building codes may even require its installation to protect the home from water damage.

If you’re looking for a cost-effective alternative to a traditional chimney, consider having a dummy chimney installed. Dummy chimneys can either be aesthetic-only or fully functional and can be installed on both new and older homes. Whether installed to match your neighborhood’s aesthetic or to vent your chimney, dummy chimneys are made out of a Glass-Reinforced Plastic (GRP) core, then covered with brick or stone slips to look like a traditional chimney.

You should avoid choosing a metal roof if your home has a weak structural support system, as metal roofs can be heavier than roofs made of other materials. If you're in a region prone to frequent hailstorms or high winds, you also need to be aware that denting may occur.

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.
