"I knew from the start I wanted a metal roof and that I wanted the Permalock product for its quality and durability, and that it looked like the shingle roof we had. The lifetime guarantee and product sold me. The roofers were great, and every night the place was cleaned up, very efficient company."

"Professional. Timely. Fair and honest. Good communication. Team was fantastic and hard working -- I saw them take a lunch break and that was about it! People were working nearly all the time they were on site. I am very happy! Also, I live on Islesboro which means John and his team worked according to a ferry schedule. This was never a problem and I was always informed about arrival, departure and adjustments necessary due to the ferry schedule."

"I would 100% recommend Double J Construction for the amazing job they did on my roof. It was not only visually appealing, but it also brought me peace of mind. Their team demonstrated professionalism and efficiency. They utilize high-quality materials. They were very caring for the job and answered all my questions and concerns even after the job was done. The price was fair and worth every single penny. Thank you Double-J Construction for giving me and my family a safe roof to live on."

Roofing questions, answered by experts

Many insurance policies will not cover a roof with two layers of shingles. An additional layer of shingles increases the risk of various kinds of damage, and insurers typically won’t pay claims on a roof with an overlay. Adding a layer of shingles may even jeopardize your insurance coverage entirely, so check your policy to ensure you stay within coverage guidelines. 

Framing a roof can take from several days to a week or more, depending on the size and complexity of the roof, the number of people working on the framing, weather conditions, and more. Roof framing is often the final step of framing a house, although in some cases, the roof may be framed before the interior of the home in order to offer more protection from the elements.

Once framing is complete, you will need the following materials to roof a house:

  • Wood sheathing

  • Drip edge, a.k.a metal flashing

  • Underlayment for waterproofing

  • Roof covering, like metal or asphalt shingles

Gaps between tiles are necessary to help with weatherproofing, allow for thermal expansion, and increase wind resistance. In general, a small gap no larger than 3 millimeters wide will encourage proper drainage and limit cracking. Beyond that, tiles should overlap a minimum of 3 inches, except at the eaves where they should extend to the center of the gutter.

The proper specifications for furring strips can vary, so you should always consult the roofing manufacturer's guidelines or your roofer. However, general recommendations are as follows:

  • Thickness: Furring strips are typically 1 to 1-1/2 inches thick, meaning standard 1-by or 2-by lumber works well. In areas with extreme winds, a thinner strip may be preferred to limit how much air can get under the roof and cause uplift. A thicker strip can add slightly more insulation but will also increase installation costs.

  • Spacing: The recommended spacing for furring strips is between 12 and 24 inches apart on center. Proper spacing is crucial for ensuring good airflow, adequate drainage, noise reduction, and better energy efficiency. The ideal spacing can depend on the roof's pitch and the specific type of metal roofing being installed.
