"I appreciated working with Nick, Vick, Nico and Angel. I had a many day project replacing my roof, gutters and patching/painting drywall. Everyone has been great with communication and follow through. All employees were pleasant and professional. I would highly recommend this company."
"Unicorp Home Energy Services did an excellent job installing our new roof in a timely and professional manner. They provided a very competitive cost proposal with good recommendations for the best roof style and materials. The installation team did a great job protecting the plants, shrubs and trees around the house to prevent damage when removing the old roof and installing the new roof. The team also carefully inspected all areas around the house to ensure there were no nails or shingle materials on the ground around the house. Highly recommend Unicorp Home Energy Services for installing a new roof on any type of house. They provide great customer service!"
"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."
There’s no single best roofing material for flat roofs, but EPDM is considered an excellent option because it lasts longer than TPO roofing and built-up roofing, and it’s the most adaptive to extreme temperatures and variations in temperature. EPDM can also be highly energy-efficient at both ends of the climate spectrum, with black EPDM helping to reduce heating bills and white EPDM helping to keep your building cool in extreme summer temperatures.
The level of underlayment’s water resistance will depend on the type of underlayment. The most popular underlayment, felt, is water-resistant, but it can’t withstand long direct exposure to rain or the elements.
Synthetic underlayment is more waterproof, but asphalt is the only fully waterproof type of underlayment.
An improperly installed skylight could potentially impact your roof's warranty. This happens because roofing penetration is necessary during skylight installation. Check your warranty information to verify. In most cases, having skylights professionally installed with proof that flashing is being done to specifications can be enough to preserve your roof's warranty.
Copper roof strips offer better coverage and more damage protection than zinc roof strips. Although both deter moss and algae growth, copper also offers UV protection. Zinc strips require more strips than copper to cover the roof’s surface area, which means more holes in your roof. Copper strips are also more flexible and last longer than zinc strips.
Heated roofs are a preventative measure and don’t have an outsized effect on your home’s value, so there is no definitive answer to this question. If you diligently monitor your roof in colder months, ensuring there is never snow or ice buildup then no, maybe they aren’t worth it. However, who really watches their roof every day or goes out in freezing weather to rake the roof? For most people worried about roof damage in the winter, heated roofs are a good investment.
