"Replacing a roof can be an intimidating project but Presidential Exteriors put us at ease. We were guided through the process and everything went smoothly. The roof looks phenomenal and it's clear the crew put a lot of attention to detail into the job. Very happy and would highly recommend Presidential Exteriors! Specific thanks to David, Nick, Samantha, Shane and the crew!"
"William Richmond, Inc. removed and installed a new asphalt roof for our house and shed. We experienced a quick turnaround from estimate to installation. Mr. Richmond provided a detailed explanation of the products he would install and of the expectations on the overall project. Communication was excellent throughout the project. The roofing crew arrived on time, completed our project in a day, and did an excellent job in cleaning up after the install. We would highly recommend the services of William Richmond, Inc. We look forward to working with Mr. Richmond on future projects."
"There's nothing worse that dealing with pooring rain and strong winds and then hearing the drip, drip sound of water coming into your home due to a damaged roof. I reached out to roofing repair companies through Angie's list and Roofing Pups responded. Marcus came out the next day and put my fears at ease. The bad news was that I needed a new roof. He showed me my options available, categorized as "good", "better" and "best". Despite my choosing the lowest option, he still threw in some discounts and upgrades at no additional cost. I signed the contract and he arranged for someone to come out at tarp my roof. He even went the extra mile of going to Home Depot and setting up buckets in my attic to catch the water still coming in. The roofing crew came out two days later and gave me a beautiful new roof. They then meticulously cleaned the area. It was great working with Roofing Pups. I couldn't be happier and highly recommend!"

"Carol D explained the roof installation process very well, she was very knowledgeable. She answered all the questions I had. I would recommend Long Home Products!"
"The staff at Home Genius were very knowledgeable and friendly. Our roof was installed sooner than expected and looks amazing. Best looking roof on our street! Definitely recommend Home Genius if you’re in need of a new roof."
"Prompt service. Quoted a price of $800, which I thought was a little on the high side. I wasn't expecting to pay more than $500. The contractor said the price was higher because his workers would need to use extra safety gear due to the steep pitch of my roof. The workers showed up early the next day, went up to the roof with a ladder and began replacing shingles without any safety gear. The whole job took less than 30 minutes."
"This entire process has been smooth and absolutely fantastic. The roof looks great and the crew is amazing. Would absolutely hire again for future projects."
"This has been one of the best experiences I've had with a company in Maryland. I had some major damage to my roof and my neighbors recently had their roof replaced. They were raving about their experience so they referred me to Exteriormax. Chidi was my go to person for all communication. He was responsive to all my texts and emails and concerns. Really good guy and wonderful to work with. The organization of this company is amazing. They are excellent with dealing with slow and unresponsive insurance companies to make sure your claim goes through. The day of roof replacement, the roofers were punctual and efficient. They did a great job. I never thought I'd want to stare at my roof for hours but I really like the quality and style. They even upgraded me with high quality shingles. Exteriormax, Chidi and the rest of the staff made the roof replacement experience really smooth and easy. Highly recommend them."
Sometimes. Professionals may be able to remove the old roof and re-attach it when completed, depending on your blueprints. That can help you save money. But this method is not without its risks. Larger roofs may crack during the transportation process. And if the roof is old or has problems, it may be better to replace it entirely. Keeping the old roof isn’t always possible if you are making significant alterations to the roofline.
Roof repairs average around $1,100 but can easily exceed that for larger repairs. The cost of roof replacement depends on the size of your home and the materials used but averages between $4,000 and $24,000.
As long as your solar panels are properly installed without damage to your roof, they will not shorten the roof’s life span. Solar panels can act as a cover or barrier to your roof and help block external elements, such as debris, heat, and UV rays. Reduced exposure to the weather can extend your roof’s life.
A metal roof can last anywhere from 15 to over 100 years, with an average of 50 years, depending on the material, installation, and environment. The specific metal is a key factor: aluminum roofs may last 20 to 45 years, while steel can last 30 to 60 years. Tin can last for up to 75 years, and more durable options like zinc, stainless steel, and copper can last from 80 to over 100 years. Factors that can shorten a metal roof's lifespan include living in a coastal region with corrosive salt air, improper installation (such as laying over old shingles), and failing to inspect and replace fasteners, which may wear out before the panels.
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.
