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 short answer is, yes, cedar shakes do last longer than asphalt shingles. But the long answer is, it depends on maintenance. Asphalt shingles last about 20 years, while cedar shingles typically last about 30 years with proper maintenance. If they are very well maintained and installed in an area with a mild, drier climate, they can last up to 50 years.

The roof pitch on a Cape Cod house is normally 8/12 or 10/12, meaning the roof rises 8 to 10 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal run. This is steeper than the now-standard 6/12 pitch, as Cape Cod homes were originally popular in northern states, where the steeper pitch helped snowfall slide readily off the roof.

You should plan on replacing architectural shingles every 20 to 25 years in most cases, although you could see up to around 30 years of useful life. Replacing your roof before it reaches the end of its life is a good idea because it reduces the risk of roof failure and roof leaks, which can contribute to extensive property damage and hefty repair costs. Your shingles’ life span can be shorter if you live in an area that sees a lot of extreme weather, so plan on getting a roof inspection done every few years to identify the best timeline for replacement.

You can put new shingles over old shingles, but most municipalities only allow for two layers of shingles before you have to rip off the old roof and start fresh. In some areas, only a single layer of shingles is allowed due to the weight a bundle of shingles adds to your structure. In most cases, it’s a good idea to remove your old shingles before you install new shingles, especially if you suspect that a roof leak may have compromised the decking underneath.

In most cases and locations, roofs with a single layer of asphalt roofing shingles won't require roof removal before installing a metal roof. However, underlayment may be necessary on roofs with moderate shingle damage. Heavily damaged roofs or ones with multiple shingle layers will most likely require removal before a metal roof can go on.
