"We had our roof replaced by Springfield roofing and they did an excellent job. Andre was easy to work with, professional, and timely. We are really happy with the work!"
"From beginning to end we could not have asked for a better experience. The price was fair for the quality of the materials and the work.Every person that we dealt with was responsive, professional and clearly communicated with each other. The difference in the appearance and functionality the new windows and roof has made such a difference in our enjoyment of our home already. The windows and roof only took a day each, all old materials were hauled and they left the work area clean and organized. We recommend so highly and would not hesitate to refer anyone to them."
"Certified Roofing was fantastic. They promptly sent a technician out to diagnose my problem and promptly made repairs. Their prices were very reasonable."
"I had my roof replaced. The crew was very professional. William kept me up to date. I highly recommend William Richmond, Inc. for all your roofing needs."
"Service went great. Available dates were a little backed up but reasonable. The technicians, Mikey and Garret, showed up on time and called with a 20 min ETA. Service was well explained, with pictures, and honest assessment of the roof's condition was given without aggressive upselling. Work was conducted quickly and done well. I used Arocon for my roofing needs at a prior residence and will use their services again."
"ARHT Home Solutions replaced our roof and our chimney. They helped us navigate a messy insurance process for the roof installation as we had a terrible storm here last year. They worked with our budget to make some upgrades on the roof and were able to beat another estimate on the chimney. The owner lives local to this neighborhood and he knows the different home models and roof types inside and out."
"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."
"Roberto came as agreement and waited additional 20 minutes for me as late arriving from work. He was professional and kind. He inspected the area of concern and my main roof to ensure no additional issues. The roof of concern needed replacing and the main roof needed some repair. Roberto did it all at a reasonable cost. He forwarded me a contract as discussed and completed the work next day. I AM SO HAPPY! I would definitely recommend Power General Roofing (Roberto) for any job. I am surely going to use Roberto for my future projects as own an older home."
Before hiring a roofing contractor, it's wise to ask several key questions. Inquire if they are licensed for roof replacement and repair and if they hold any special certifications. Ask if they will be completing all the work themselves or subcontracting parts of it. It's also important to understand the project timeline, whether they will remove the old roof or place new shingles on top, and how they will handle cleanup after the project is complete. Finally, ask about warranties for both work and materials, what recourse you have if issues like leaks arise, and if they can provide customer references.
Flat roofs are cost-effective, offer usable space, and are easy to maintain. Foam and single-ply materials provide excellent insulation and durability.
The cost to replace a roof typically ranges from $8,700 to $22,000, with a national average of around $9,200. The total cost depends on the size of your roof and whether you need a full replacement or can simply place new shingles over the old ones. A full replacement, which is necessary if the roof is several decades old or has multiple layers, is more expensive. This process involves tearing off the old roofing materials, inspecting and repairing the underlying structure, and then installing the new roof.
Architectural shingles and impact-resistant shingles aren’t mutually exclusive, which means some architectural shingles are impact-resistant shingles. Architectural shingles are thicker and more durable than standard 3-tab shingles, and they become even stronger when they also have high impact resistance and wind resistance ratings. The most durable shingles for areas with extreme weather are architectural or luxury shingles that have a Class-4 impact resistance and a Class-H wind resistance that can stand up to winds reaching 150 mph.
Roof work is dangerous and exacting, and a misstep could lead to even more costly repairs, so we do not recommend DIYing. If you are dead set on giving it a go, practice safety measures. Wear a harness, only work during mild weather, and have a partner to help. Potentially DIY-friendly jobs include patching up small leaks, sealing areas around the chimney, and replacing a few shingles.
