"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."

"Premiere Roofing and Construction are 21st Century, innovative roofing experts who provide excellent customer service and a hassle - free home improvement experience. From my initial contact with sales consultant Bradley, until my new asphalt shingled roof was installed, the entire process was easy, and stress free. I researched and interviewed five other roofing contractors before locating and hiring Premiere. After I interviewed Bradley, the sales representative from Premiere, his honest, patient, confident, professional demeanor, and expert advice immediately put my mind at ease and made me feel confident that I could trust Premiere Roofing and Construction to deliver what they promised. Bradley gave me an honest, accurate assessment on the condition of my roof, and offered a fair competitive price. On installation day, a Premiere crew of, (7 or 8), roofers arrived @ 7:00 am sharp. Within eight hours the efficient, hardworking crew had completed my new roof. Honesty, integrity, fair competitive prices, and functional beautiful results are the trademarks of Premiere Roofing and Construction."

Roofing questions, answered by experts

Generally, roof flashing is installed under the shingles to create a watertight seal and prevent moisture from seeping in and causing damage. However, the exact placement can depend on the type of flashing. For instance, with step flashing, the shingles and flashing overlap each other, meaning the flashing is technically both over and under the shingles. Flashing also typically goes beneath the house siding and is often not visible from the ground.

There are several pros and cons of flat roofs. One disadvantage of flat roofs is that you lose potential attic space because it's flat. Flat roofs tend to pool water and because they lack an angle, any leak in the roof—usually due to a bad seal—has the potential to let in a lot of water. They don’t work well in climates with snow. Flat roofs are also structurally weaker than sloped roofs.

A square of shingles covers 100 square feet and usually ranges from 150 to 240 pounds. It all depends on the material and type of shingle.

The most important thing to remember when laying shingles is to work from the bottom of the slope to the top. This leaves you with a top overlap that directs runoff from one row to the next until it reaches the eave for disposal. You should also make sure you follow the manufacturer's instructions and the local building code for nailing patterns and frequency so all of your hard work stays put through varying weather conditions.

You can only overlay a roof once. Any additional layers of shingles will add too much weight and may also violate building codes. Once your roof has had an overlay, you’ll need to have a full roof replacement, including a tear-off of all existing roofing materials, when it’s time for a new roof.
