"Sam and The King’s Mitigator did an outstandingly good job!!! We are so pleased. Such good gentleman to deal with. We appreciate their honest and good communication with us. The roof and rest of the work looks amazing!"
"I absolutely loved the roof from RAM roofing. Isaac and his team are efficient, friendly, and hard working. I had a leak in the roof. I was initially going to do a repair on the affected area, but after inspection, we decided to replace the entire roof and the wood underlay. I am so happy with the work they did and it looks absolutely great. I love the smooth look to the finish. Thanks again!"
"ALL OF THIS WORK WAS PERFORMED DURING THE PANDEMIC WHEN ADDED ADDITIONAL CHALLENGES TO THE PROJECT, BUT SCOTT AND GREGG DELIVERED ON EVERYTHING THAT WAS AGREED TO, AND MORE. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND R&B ROOFING AND REMODELING."
"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."
"Amazing one day installation Very satisfied with the final result. Excellent presentation of the process and quality of materials and details. Only critique is that I am waiting for the placement of the last roof vent. A minor issue but it has been a week since completion. I would still highly recommend them for quality of work and cleanup."
"I recently had Unisource Roofing replace the roof on my home in Louisville, KY, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results! From start to finish, Adam and Tre were incredibly professional and easy to work with. They walked me through every step of the process, from the initial inspection to final walk through, making the whole experience stress-free. The quality of their work is top-notch. The crew was efficient, cleaned up thoroughly after each day's work, and finished the job on time. My new roof looks amazing, and Iâ  ve already had neighbors asking who did the work. If you're looking for a reliable, honest, and skilled roofing company around Louisville, I highly recommend Unisource Roofing. Their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction really sets them apart!"

Many roofers remove satellite dishes as part of their services, especially during roof repairs or replacements. However, they typically won’t reconnect or reinstall the dish. If you no longer need the dish, roofers can dispose of it, but for reuse, you may need a satellite technician to handle reinstallation.
The most common slope range for roofs on houses in snowy areas is between 4/12 and 6/12, or 50%. A roof with a slope of less than 10%, or roughly a 2/12 pitch, won’t be effective at shedding snow. However, roofs that are too steep can allow large amounts of snow to build up and fall all at once, creating a hazard for those on the ground.
A standard roof can hold a live load of about 20 pounds per square foot. However, gable roofs often have steeper-than-average slopes, so calculating their weight capacity can be challenging. If the slope of your gable roof is greater than 4:12, the live load needs to be decreased to allow for a larger dead load. Ask your roofer exactly how much weight your roof can support.
Whether you should choose a flat roof or a sloped roof depends on your particular situation. Flat roofs tend to be less expensive to install. However, sloped roofs have longer lifespans and stand up better to heavy snow and other inclement weather.
Keep in mind that even a flat roof needs to have a slight slope, usually around 1/2 inch for every foot. If it is completely flat, water will pool and cause damage, either from weight or leakage or rot.
