"I asked Springfield Roofing to provide a rough order of magnitude cost for a special kind of flat roof to compare against a few quotes I already had. They knew I was not going to hire them, but what service to offer a quick square footage pricing estimate. It was amazing! Thank you!"
"We were convinced to have our roof done after the roofing expert inspected our roof and sat us down for his presentation. We appreciated the time spent to explain the project management plan from the delivery of materials to the post-installation inspection. Everyone we met was very professional and the clean up crew did a great job."
"I used Unicorp to replace my roof and siding and the entire experience was hassle-free. Brian came to my house on a weekend to assess my needs & provide a quote. I was assigned a team at Unicorp. Every single member of that team (Megan, JR, and Brian) were always available and courteous. In addition to courteous interactions, the work on my house was flawless. I am so happy with the new roof, shutters, & siding. Everyone in my neighborhood could tell during installation that this company was professional & once the work was completed many of my neighbors said I have the nicest house in the neighborhood. After installation another company damaged my newly installed siding. Unicorp responded immediately and the repairs were made - again hassle-fee. I wish I had known about Unicorp years ago when I replaced my windows. This is THE COMPANY to use for roofing, siding, windows. QUALITY PRODUCTS PROPERLY INSTALLED BY THE MOST PROFESSIONAL STAFF."

"I cannot say enough good things about Power Home Remodeling. We have used Power Home for years. We had them replace doors and windows at our old house. In our current house, we had Power Home replace the windows on our upper floor and basement, as well as a basement door, sliding door, and attic insulation in 2020. Power Home just finished replacing our first floor windows and front door. Their work has always been impeccable and the experience has always been top notch. Every experience we have had with Power Home has been professional and pleasant. Whether it is sales, support, or the install teams, each rep’s focus has been on ensuring that we are happy and satisfied with the work being done. Additionally, the company offers an outstanding warranty on their work. I recommend Power Home to everyone I know who is in the market for doors, windows, siding, roofing, or attic insulation. Their products are exceptional, especially the doors and windows. The difference in temperature and noise is amazing. Additionally, Power Home takes care of its employees, which is very important to us. They also are very involved in the community. It is a refreshing change to see a company that focuses on taking care of their employees and customer satisfaction instead of just focusing on making money. Sales: Every rep that has visited us has been enjoyable to work with. They are honest and up front about their products, processes, and what to expect. Materials: Power Home’s windows and doors are amazing. From temperature to sound, the difference is huge compared to our old windows and doors. Professionalism: Every Power Home employee we have interacted with has been professional and pleasant. They have all been very focused on ensuring we have any questions answered and that we have an excellent experience. This holds true from sales to installs to support. Give Power Home Remodeling a chance. They will earn your business and you won’t regret it."
It’s possible to walk on a clay tile roof, but you run the risk of breaking or cracking the tiles if you’re not careful, so it’s best not to walk on it if you can avoid it. If you or a contractor needs roof access, be sure to distribute your weight evenly and step on the portions of tile that are also supported underneath, which depends on your tile design. Walking on any roofing material is inherently dangerous, so wear rubber-soled shoes and use safety equipment if you need to access your roof.
The best material to sheath a roof will depend on your budget and if you require the strength of more robust materials. For most homes, the added strength is unnecessary, and oriented strand board, or OSB, makes sense. It’s inexpensive and robust enough for most roof types. Another popular but slightly more expensive option is plywood.
Generally, roof flashing is installed under the shingles to create a watertight seal and prevent moisture from seeping in and causing damage. However, the exact placement can depend on the type of flashing. For instance, with step flashing, the shingles and flashing overlap each other, meaning the flashing is technically both over and under the shingles. Flashing also typically goes beneath the house siding and is often not visible from the ground.
If you're looking for a dependable and affordable option for garage roofing, asphalt shingles offer a durable way to blend a detached garage in with the surrounding residential aesthetic. If you're looking for a more durable and protective option because you're storing expensive equipment in your garage, consider metal roofs that perform well against snow, ice, hail, and heavy rains.
The average cost of a metal roof for a 2,000-square-foot home is $11,700, but your price can range from $12,000 to $90,000, depending on the number of stories you have, your roof design, and the specific metal you choose.
