"I’ve utilized James’ services on multiple occasions. As a local realtor I’m always looking for a reliable resource to send to my clients for roof repairs and full replacements. Home Pros is punctual, very neat, and provides excellent customer service. I highly recommend them for all of your roofing needs."
"Progressive has replaced 3 roofs for me now on separate properties, all types. They are quick, efficient, and the best price in town. From the start to speaking with Lisa, to having Christen Matise come out and look at the job. They are professional and such a pleasure to deal with, can answer any question and will tell you all your options so you don’t pay a fortune for something you may not need. They do a great clean job and they actually come out as well when they tell you there are!! Which is a such a relief these days. Any jobs I need done in the future they will be the first I call."

Came early and did a fantastic job in repairing and re doing my flat roof. Was very clean and left my property spotless when he and fellow worker was finished. I would easily recommend his company to all my friends if they needed roofing job done."
"Highly recommended!! SES went above and beyond with my house remodel. The owner Shawn is very involved and hands on which made the process even easier. Very professional crew as well.

I learned the owner is a graduate of the Rinker school of building construction and management at the University of Florida, pretty impressive! I finally met him on the job, and he is super guy to speak with, and really knows his profession!"
Whether a metal or shingle roof is better for you depends on your preferences. Standing seam metal roofs require little to no maintenance, but if you install a screw-down metal roof where the fasteners are exposed, the gaskets on the fasteners will dry rot and need to be replaced. Generally, screw-down metal roofs need to be re-screwed every 15 to 20 years.
Metal roofs are energy-efficient and have extended warranties, while asphalt shingles are less durable than most. They tend to lose color and get damaged over time, and absorb heat from the sun.
If a roof is not vented, trapped air and moisture have nowhere to go and will cause moisture to build up in the attic. When moisture builds up, it can cause mold and mildew, leaks, and rot. It will make the space hot and stuffy, which can result in higher energy bills as the HVAC system works overtime to regulate the temperature.
Most roof leaks occur where shingles meet or where there are sealants or seams in the materials. This is common around skylights and at any point there is a break in the roof such as corners and edges. Roofing materials are incredibly strong and resistant when overlapping, but any change in that can cause gaps where water can enter.
Most traditional lenders will not loan against a house with a leaking roof, and some lenders won’t lend against a home with a roof near the end of its lifespan. If the roof on your new home is in poor condition, you may need to have the seller offer a credit for a roof replacement after closing, or you can opt for a renovation loan—also called a 203k loan—to bundle the house and the roof replacement into one loan.
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.
