"We had a leak in an upstairs room. Jim Swift came promptly, checked out our 20 year roof and found several places where the underlying boards were rotting. He gave us a quote, and since we had a leak, arranged to start the job the following week. Meanwhile, a couple of his crew came out and put a plastic tarp covering the whole backside of the roof to prevent further ceiling damage. The new roof looks nice and the clean-up was good too."
"Great experience with Mike, he helped us with our roof replacement and made it more affordable than we ever could’ve thought! Can’t wait to get the roof done."
"I am so glad that I hired Joe's Roofing Solutions for my roofing project. Joe was very professional from the beginning to the end. He was also very thorough in his explanation of what needed to be repaired, which assured me that he was very well versed in his craft."
"The new roof looks awesome. This company was amazing from the sales to the install team. Justin was very clear about what was in the roofing package that I got and the production team of devan, lauren, and Walter were very kind and efficient!"
"We needed a new roof on our house. We also needed new skylights.I was referred to Rapid Home Improvement (RHI) from Mark Pytiak of Green Home Energy, who had done some work in my home. I had estimates from 4 different roofing/home improvement companies to which I had been referred. From my first contact with Mike Beaty of Rapid Home Improvement, I knew this was the company I wanted to use. Mike Beaty promptly returned my first phone call and came to my house on time to look at my roof on the date we agreed upon. He was pleasant, knowledgeable and professional. He took as much time as I needed to help me understand his recommendations. He went up on my roof and took pictures to show me where there were holes and shingles missing. He sent me a very detailed estimate the next day. He answered all my questions while waiting for me to decide who to use for this job. He provided references upon request and answered any follow up questions I had. We negotiated a price for the job that was satisfactory to us both. His workers showed up on time on the agreed upon start date. The new roof and skylights were installed over 2 days without incident. The workers cleaned up my property well and nothing was damaged. One of the solar shades on one of the skylights was not aligned properly. The worker who was in charge of this part of the job very pleasantly solved the problem once I brought it to his attention. Mike Beaty followed up in person to inspect the job and make sure we were satisfied. We were very satisfied and have had no problems with the new roof or skylights. "
"Great job replacing my roof. Price was good. The crew was very professional, worked quickly and were careful in cleaning up the yard after they were fiinished. Next month they will replace 21 windows in my home."
"Very professional company, the Roofers arrived 30 minutes ahead of the scheduled time. They completed my roof in a timely manner and did an excellent job cleaning up the debris and nails. Thank You."
Flapping shingles, or shingles that are lifting or curling away from your roof, can be glued back into place using roofing cement or sealant. Apply the glue underneath the shingle, then press it down firmly. You can leave a brick on top of the shingle to hold it in place overnight while the sealant dries.
Homeowners insurance sometimes covers roof decking, but it depends on the cause of damage and whether the decking was properly installed. If the roof decking was damaged by a severe storm, then it will likely be covered. Insurance may also pay for roof decking work if building codes require it. However, insurance won’t cover damage caused by normal wear and tear or poor maintenance practices.
Shingle roofing can last anywhere from 15 to 50 years, depending on the type and quality of shingle, your local climate, and how well you maintain your roof. If you live in an area that sees extreme weather, like strong winds, hail storms, or hurricanes, the average life span of a shingle roof will often be on the shorter end, especially if you choose a more affordable roof shingle that isn’t designed to persist through extreme weather.
While you can technically install TPO roofing over an existing roof, it isn't always wise to do so. The more layers of material you add to your roof, the more weight it must support. You may also develop moisture issues by covering your existing roof with TPO. Your local building codes and regulations may actually require you to remove the existing roof before adding TPO, so check with your local municipality.
