"We had a great experience with On Top Roofing. They returned my call for a quote request within one day and had someone out to give an estimate within a couple of days after that. We obtained several estimates, On Top was the only company that actually climbed up on a ladder to really look at the area of concern and where work needed to be done during the estimate. After we received the quote, the work was done within the scheduled time and completed as agreed. I would definitely consider On Top again for future roofing needs."
"MTS was excellent to work with. Matt the owner was super responsive to any questions we had and was very helpful on suggestions for our roof. No pressure, great communication, on time and the work is excellent. Would highly recommend."
"Manny was on time, professional, and pleasant. He replaced our flat roof in one day. It looks great and we hope it will "winter well". Thanks for providing us his name and reviews. Joyce B in Wellesley"
"We had unexpected damage to our roof and due to this damage, we had water damage to the inside of our home. The skylight needed to be replaced along with a new roof. I was just overwhelmed and didn't know what to do or who to call. My Stepson had recently used Matt to have his roof repaired and they did such a nice job. I gave Matt a call and he was at my house within a day and assured me that he could help and gave me a very reasonable quote and timeframe to get the job done. Matt explained all my options and worked with what fit my budget. Matt and his crew arrived on schedule as promised and his crew worked diligently throughout the day cleaning as they worked to make sure my yard was just as it was when they arrived. when they completed the job they combed the whole yard and driveway to make sure there were no stray scraps or nails or debris. the workers were so respectful and boy did they bust theirs butts to get the job done. Thank you Matt & Crew for a job well done.."
"They did an excellent job replacing the roof of my porch. They did it in a timely manner and clean up all the debris. The price was right on the mark. I recommend them for any roof repair."
"Power Home Remodeling did a great job replacing my entire roof. They were professional, efficient, polite, and respectful of my property. The crew did an excellent job keeping my property safe, worked quickly and the roof looks beautiful."
"They beat out the local contractors by quite a bit. I was able to get the roof done plus gutters for less than what the locals were trying to charge just for the roof. Very easy transaction, they were in and out and the day and they cleaned up their mess. The roof looks fabulous!"
The warranty for algae-resistant shingles varies by manufacturer, but the industry standard is 25 years for overall shingle durability and lifespan and between 10 and 15 years for algae resistance. Some products come with longer warranties for discoloration of up to 30 years. Check warranty coverage for the shingle and algae protection before deciding on a roofing product.
Cool roofs last for roughly 15 to 30 years. You can install a cool roof coating over an existing roof, but keep in mind that this might not be worth it if your roof is near the end of its life expectancy. If your roof isn’t near the end of its life, adding a cool roof coating can make your existing roof more energy-efficient and help it last longer, so you’ll have to weigh the pros and cons.
There is a weight limit for walking on a roof, but it’s determined by your roof structure and not the roofing material, at least in the case of a metal roof. Consider that entire teams of roofers will be on top of your home during the installation, so the weight of a single person won’t compromise your roof. That isn’t the case for something like a tile roof, so a high weight limit is one benefit of a metal roof.
Roofing jobs can be expensive due to the required materials and the dangerous nature of the labor. The cost to repair a roof ranges from $390 to $1,920, with an average cost of $1,150, depending on what kind of roof you have and any accessibility concerns. Replacing a roof is much more expensive at $5,890 to $12,800.
Yes, thatched roofs are legal in most areas in the U.S., but you should always check your local building codes to ensure there are no restrictions in your particular area before installing one. Even where they are legal, you’ll usually need to apply fireproofing to the roof to keep it up to code. Keep in mind that a new roof might not increase home value as much if you choose a thatched roof, as they aren’t common in the U.S. and might not be as desirable to many home buyers.
