I take pride in working for myself,which enables me to get 90% of my work from customers who pass my name along. I have been on roofs since I was 17 with my dads small company. Now at 43 I am doing the same thing. I love working with shingles and homes that are unique.There are people who need my service but think they cannot afford to repair or replace thier roof. I am in a position where the years of roofing experience have taught me to solve the problems many Mainers face with our harsh winters.I take pride in my many local references. You can call my references and speak with real people about what I did to thier home. Or you can drive to the addresses listed and see in person the particular job.I have the ability to get jobs done on time because of the years of experience with roofs,where most companys will still be there. I price my jobs at the lowest possible price while still using the best materials avaiable.I have two employees who have been with me for 5 years. There is no drinking or drug use by my company. Most roofing companies have that issue. It cost no money for me to give you my estimate.I make sure that the homeowner knows exactly what im using for materials and how im using them.I love what I do. Thats why I am able to do it where everyone is happy they picked me as thier contractor.

Chimney Caps questions, answered by experts

The least suitable roof for solar panels is a wood shake roof. An electrical mishap with your solar panels could start a fire on the roof, so some areas don’t allow solar panels on wood roofs. You don’t have to let a wood roof stop you from going solar. You can replace your wood shakes with shingles. Installing the panels on the ground is another option.

While there are many benefits to installing a metal roof on your home, there are some downsides, too. Zinc roofs, in particular, are susceptible to corrosion from overly salty air directly near coastal areas. Another potential downside of zinc roofing is that it must be allowed to expand and contract with the weather. This means special attention is necessary to how it's fastened to the home to avoid issues. 

More and more insurance companies are writing torch down applications out of their liability insurance for contractors. If torch down is covered, they generally require a worker to stay on site for two hours after the last flame is extinguished.

For this reason, cold application modified bitumen—also known as “peel and stick”—is becoming more popular, and torch down is decreasing in popularity. Modified bitumen is taking its place, as it uses both hot and cold applications.

Roll roofs don’t last as long as traditional roofs, like those made of asphalt shingles. A roll roof typically lasts between five and 15 years, whereas a shingled roof will last between 20 and 50  years. Modified bitumen roofs are similar in look to rolled roofing but have a 12 to 15 year warranty.

The number of snow guards you’ll need on your roof depends on factors like the type of roof you have, its slope, the orientation of your home, and the snow load in your area. A local roofing professional or the snow guard manufacturer can help you determine the ideal amount.
