"If I could give 10 stars, I would! Building a home from afar was daunting, but hiring Ricky Sprague of Generations Custom Homes (GCH) was the best decision we made. Ricky guided us patiently, respected our budget, and kept everything transparent with his “magic spreadsheet,” showing exactly where every dollar went. The craftsmanship is flawless—trim, tile, and finishes exceeded our expectations. Ricky’s integrity shone when he fixed small issues before we even noticed, like a window alignment and a quartz countertop cut that wasn’t 90 degrees. He had it redone perfectly at no cost to us. Communication was seamless, and his dedication, honesty, and care for his customers are unmatched. Our 3-bedroom cottage feels like a masterpiece, and the process gave us complete peace of mind. If you’re building in the MDI area, stop searching—hire Ricky and GCH. They don’t just build homes, they deliver excellence."

Roofing questions, answered by experts

A shingle roof costs between $7,500 and $24,000 in total. The exact cost depends on the size of your roof and the number of bundles of shingles required. A bundle of shingles typically costs between $40 and $60, though contractors might be able to get a lower price than you’d get buying from a local hardware store.

The level of underlayment’s water resistance will depend on the type of underlayment. The most popular underlayment, felt, is water-resistant, but it can’t withstand long direct exposure to rain or the elements. 

Synthetic underlayment is more waterproof, but asphalt is the only fully waterproof type of underlayment.

Walking on any roofing material is dangerous, so you should avoid it if you can, but if the need arises, you should know that you can walk on a concrete tile roof without damaging it. Try to step on the bottom portions of the tile that are supported by the lower layer, and distribute your weight evenly across both feet and hands, if possible.

If you’re building the roof trusses yourself, which isn’t recommended, it will be more affordable than buying pre-built trusses. Trusses cost more because they use the same amount of material, but you’ll also be paying for the labor, as well as the delivery to your home. However, if you’re having a contractor build the roof for you, then trusses will be less expensive, as the labor costs to build roof framing on-site will cost more.

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.
