"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."
Roof vents are an essential part of a roof, as they promote energy efficiency by keeping warm, humid air at bay. The roofing material, especially asphalt shingles, will not last as long as it should (about half of its manufacture life) if the attic is not ventilated. Also, going without ventilation means having a warm attic that demands more from your air conditioning system (and your wallet, once the bills come). Ridge vents and roof vents also prevent a host of other icky moisture-related problems like rot, mold, and mildew.
Ideally, you shouldn’t pay your roofer upfront unless you’re special-ordering materials. However, anything between 10% and 15% of the project’s cost is reasonable to pay upfront. Avoid making a final payment until after the roof gets completed.
The best roof replacement type depends on your budget and your particular climate, as well as your personal aesthetic. But in general, asphalt shingles are the best roof replacement type for homeowners looking for durability at a budget-friendly price. Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material—cost-effective, easy to install, lightweight, and the perfect choice for handy homeowners.
If you choose tile for your roof, take the time to hire a true tile professional. Look at trusted online review sites to find a top-rated roofing contractor. This helps you zero in on great contractors while avoiding ones who bait and switch you with fluctuating bids.
After you’ve narrowed down a few great candidates with reasonable bids, there are some important questions to ask roofers before you hire. Be sure they are licensed, bonded, and insured before signing a contract. Once you find a roofer who checks off all your boxes, you’re ready to get your project started.
You should plan on waiting as long as it takes for the roof deck to dry out completely if it gets wet. In most cases, this will take about 24 hours, but it could take longer if you have shading on your roof or cloudy weather after the rainfall that prevents the sun from drying the material.
