"There's nothing worse that dealing with pooring rain and strong winds and then hearing the drip, drip sound of water coming into your home due to a damaged roof. I reached out to roofing repair companies through Angie's list and Roofing Pups responded. Marcus came out the next day and put my fears at ease. The bad news was that I needed a new roof. He showed me my options available, categorized as "good", "better" and "best". Despite my choosing the lowest option, he still threw in some discounts and upgrades at no additional cost. I signed the contract and he arranged for someone to come out at tarp my roof. He even went the extra mile of going to Home Depot and setting up buckets in my attic to catch the water still coming in. The roofing crew came out two days later and gave me a beautiful new roof. They then meticulously cleaned the area. It was great working with Roofing Pups. I couldn't be happier and highly recommend!"
"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."
"Jason is a great asset to the company. They did all that was promised and more. completed the new roof in a timely manor. did many repairs and corrected existing errors in roof. Very satisfied. Would most definitely recommend."
"They brought our 27 year old roof up to code. The ridge vents lowered the attic temperature. We see a pick difference in the upstairs temperature. Not as hot sleeping at night."
Single-ply roofing lasts for between 15 and 30 years, depending on the type you install and the climate in your area. TPO roofing has the shortest lifespan of 15 to 30 years, followed by PVC, which lasts for 20 to 30 years. EPDM roofing is the longest-lasting single-ply roofing option, with a lifespan of 30 to 40 years. Keep in mind that hail, strong winds, blown debris, and foot traffic can all reduce how long your flat roof lasts.
Though cedar shakes often get confused with shingles, there are a few key differences between wood shakes and wood shingles. For one, cedar shingle prices are lower, although shingles are less durable than wood shakes. Cedar shakes are thicker than shingles (shingles range from about 3/8 to 1/2 inches thick, compared to 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick for shakes). Wood shakes are handmade, while shingles are usually machine-made. Also, wood shakes work better on steeper roofs than shingles do. While the cost of cedar shingles is more budget-friendly, there are many great reasons to choose shakes.
Gable roof construction can last for 100 years or more without needing structural repairs, although the lifespan depends on your climate. Since gable roofs are great at shedding rain and snow, the actual roofing material on top will last for between 20 and 100 years or more, depending on the material you choose. If you’re unsure that your gable roof is up to par, have a roof inspector take a look.
Hip roofs tend to cost a bit more than other common styles of roofs. Because of the complex labor needs required to build a hip roof properly, you can expect to spend more on labor if you choose to go with a hip roof over a less complicated roof style.
Yes, a tile roof will increase the value of your home more than an asphalt shingle roof. Not only do tile roofs look nicer and add more to your curb appeal, but buyers will understand that roof tiles last longer than most other materials, so they can expect minimal maintenance and a long roof lifespan after closing, which often means they’ll be willing to pay more for a home with this roof option.
