"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."

Thatched roofs last for between 30 and 50 years in most cases, which is longer than most asphalt roofs. However, getting that life span from your thatched roof requires more maintenance than you’d need for most other materials, including fireproofing, brushing, cleaning, and rethatching as the material gets worn down. You’ll also need routine inspections to ensure you’re not at risk of leaks.
After you take steps to determine when your roof was last replaced, you may realize you need a new one. Hiring a roofing contractor you can trust involves asking for references and examples of past work. Verify any qualifications the roofer provides. Ask about the expected time to complete the work and about putting guarantees in writing.
You can install a spray foam roof over shingles, but it may compromise the roof’s protective qualities or shorten its lifespan. Before installing a new roof, ask a qualified roofer if your existing roof needs to be removed before installing a spray foam roof so you ensure your home has quality, long-lasting protection.
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.
How long shingles last depends on the type of shingles you have on your roof. Asphalt shingles normally last anywhere from 15 to 30 years, metal shingles can last anywhere from 15 to 100 years, and tile shingles can last anywhere from 50 to 100 years or more.
