"Informative and friendly first meeting, complete with detailed photos of the entire roof and an explanation of the process, followed by 1-day installation of a new roof, with excellent workmanship and a hardworking crew."
"Shore Thing Construction are very professional. They came when they said they would, gave estimate that they stood by, finished in good time. I will definitely call on them again!"
"Pete and his team did an outstanding job from the moment they arrived until the final clean-up. What a hard working team! Pete did a great job communicating with me prior to the job and updating me throughout the day during the job. We love our new roof and the quality job! We were impressed with the clean up...not a single piece of trash was left behind!! I would highly recommend Pete and his team for any roofing job and would be pleased to serve as a reference to any potential future clients of Spicer Brothers."
"Katherine, you don't even know and I certainly can’t express how amazing every person of the Callaway Construction Company has been from the first day of receiving the initial call to set up the estimate, the crew, to this message I received from you to finish business. This entire experience has been like no other and that is something to be proud of as an employee of the company and as the owner of the business. I can tell you I'm terrible at getting multiple estimates because as a business owner I believe that if you give me a price for the work requested then that is the price I shall pay for your skill, experience and your word that you are going to follow through and perform exactly as you sold it to me and I can say that Mr Callaway has exceeded in every way my expectations of being a stand up and replicable business owner. I was not present during any of the delivery of materials or construction and I had not one worry in the world because I can tell you every neighbor had given me one update after another and expressed to me everyday how amazing the entire project was going, and I could feel genuine happiness with every word they spoke through messages and phone calls. As I finally arrive in Delaware a week after construction of the new roof I’m met one by one by surrounding neighbors in excitement for me to see the roof and to hear my thoughts. I would give this business a hundred starts and that would times by 10 if the neighbors that contacted me with positive feedback would all leave a review. I highly recommend Callaway Construction for all your construction needs. Katherine is the most amazing person and a true delight to work with. This project consisted of a new roof being built over an existing flat roof. Materials included trusses, metal roofing panels, soffit, siding, etc."
"THE ROOF WAS REPLACED QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY WITH NO
WASTE OF MATERIAL OR TIME. THE CLEAN-UP WAS TOTAL AND THEY LEFT ME NOTHING TO DO BUT ENJOY MY HARBOR BLUE ROOF.
I HAVE RECEIVED MANY COMPLIMENTS.
ONE SUGGESTION IS: SIGNAGE FOR AML WAS NOT PUT ON THE LAWN.
THANK YOU CASEY AND YOUR PLEASANT WORKMEN."
"I am a commercial contractor, and I had a roof emergency which turned into a nightmare,! These guys are great, dependability, integrity, trustworthy, and above all Great workmanship and professionalism. Cannot say enough about Eric, he is a great guy and does what he says and keeps his standards high. I will definitely use them again for other projects and recommend them to anyone looking to cut to the chase and hire a professional contractor at an affordable price."
"Jordan Taylor was our rep and did an outstanding of explaining the entire process to us, including how to submit the roof replacement to insurance due to a wind storm. He was super responsive for every question, and he personally got our HOA approval, then walked it through the town govt to get the permit! On the day of installation, his team worked efficiently and quickly, and our roof was completed by late afternoon, including full and thorough cleanup. Jordan came back the next day to walk the property to make sure all garbage was picked up. Economy Restoration will also provide a Quality Control person to go up on the roof for the final inspection, which really gives us a secure feeling. Our roof is amazing, along with the entire process and the pricing is very fair. I highly recommend Jordan and Economy Restoration!"
"Although I cannot view the work that was done (on my roof), I was completely satisfied with the work ethic, knowledge, and expertise of the repair expert, Justin Y."
It’s the reverse of home de-winterization. To winterize, you purge your plumbing system (including your water heater and all piping) of water. Some experts also recommend filling fixtures with an antifreeze solution. Other tasks involve winterizing sprinklers, sealing foundation vents, check weatherproofing around doors and windows, and more.
Roofers can install roof vents. Updating, upgrading, or simply replacing your roof's existing vents is common when installing a new roof. If you're looking to upgrade your ventilation system with a powered version, a local HVAC professional can also help with the task. If adding roof vents to your home is necessary while installing an addition or during other renovation work, your contractor will handle or hire out the venting work.
In some cases, yes, you can put a second roof layer over architectural shingles, but it depends on your home’s structural stability and the local building codes where you live. Architectural shingles are thicker and heavier than standard asphalt shingles, so you may need structural reinforcement or a structural engineer’s inspection before proceeding. Additionally, some building departments don’t allow for two roof layers, regardless of the roof type. You should ask a professional if ripping the old roof off before installing the new one is the best option for you.
Gaps between tiles are necessary to help with weatherproofing, allow for thermal expansion, and increase wind resistance. In general, a small gap no larger than 3 millimeters wide will encourage proper drainage and limit cracking. Beyond that, tiles should overlap a minimum of 3 inches, except at the eaves where they should extend to the center of the gutter.
A spray foam roof lasts 20 to 30 years if installed and maintained correctly. Spray foam roofs should be recoated every 10 to 15 years to maintain the UV protection and waterproof surface of the foam material. The longevity of spray foam roofing will depend on the thickness and density of the foam, the protective coating, and how well it’s maintained.
