"Speaking on behalf of our business, we were very pleased with the install of a new roof drain, replacing an old plugged drain and the removal of @ 50,000-pounds of water off our warehouse roof. We know shall need additional maintenance and roof repairs and D&L Commercial Roofing shall be our first choice to keep our old building in tip-top shape."
"I am very happy with the new roof. Daryl, the sales rep, communicated everything very nicely and made sure that I was given the best option for my roof. Mike, Devan, and Walter were the project managers and they were very helpful throughout the roof install. I wasnâ t able to communicate very well with the roofing crew but the project managers made sure that all of my concerns were taken care of."
"Installation crew were pros. 19sq roof, complete underlay tear off to reshingle; 6 guys showed up at dawn and finished by dinner; thorough clean up and looks great. No choice but to pay full price in current market. Quality work, definitely recommend."
"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."
"Everything was done well. The new roof and gutters look good. They added the ventilation in the roof and corrected the attic ventilation to run out of the roof not into the attic like it had been."
"All of the Rapid Roofing employees that we dealt with from the initial visit with Lee at our house to Gabriel and his team during installation were fabulous. Very professional and considerate to our needs. The process was very quick and had the roof done with in a week of contacting them. We recommend Rapid Roofing ."
"The guys did a great job, on a very hot day! They cleaning the gutters, straightened the slope and with last night’s rain the gutters were flowing properly. Great job!"
Roof sheathing can buckle from moisture damage, too much weight from roofing materials, or too much space in between rafters without thicker sheathing to compensate for the added distance. Bucking roof sheathing is a serious problem that can lead to a collapsed roof, so have a qualified roofer near you come to identify the problem as soon as possible.
A few disadvantages of installing solar panels on your roof include the high up-front costs and the potential for increased property taxes. Installing solar panels can increase the home’s value, which in turn can mean higher taxes. Depending on your area, you should check with your local tax offices for more information. Another potential pitfall is roof leaks from a poor installation, but this shouldn’t be an issue if you hire a reputable company.
A roof's lifespan can range from 15 to 200 years, with an average of 25 to 50 years, depending heavily on the material, quality of installation, maintenance, and local climate. Asphalt shingle roofs are common and typically last 15 to 30 years; three-tab shingles have a lifespan of about 20 years, while architectural shingles can last up to 30. More durable materials have longer lifespans: metal roofs last 30 to 100 years, clay and concrete can last 50 to 100 years, and slate roofs can last up to 200 years with proper care. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning gutters and replacing damaged shingles, is crucial for extending the life of any roof.
Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.
If you’re choosing between a roof overlay and a tear-off, opt for a tear-off and full roof replacement instead of a roof overlay if possible. The cost savings from an overlay can easily be eclipsed by repair costs, the effects of structural damage from the additional weight, and needing to replace your roof sooner than expected. A full replacement will last longer and is less likely to need damage repaired over time.
