"PRO's 1) Returned my call same day as inquiry. 2) Visited my property next day. 3) Called me from my property with quote. 4) Roof was installed two days later. 5) Was willing to take over when another roofing contractor left us high-and-dry. CON's 1) I have to dig deep for a con. The price for labor was higher than we had anticipated, but we needed the roof installed before the first snowstorm hit. We were really happy with the service we received from Mike and we would gladly recommend them to our friends & family."

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

"Mitch, Cody, and their entire team were fantastic to work with. Here are the five reason why CoMitted 365 Roofing earned an A rating from me: Professional: Mitch was on time, responsive, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process from the initial call to the final inspection. Commitment: We asked tons of questions, called frequently, and requested a lot of samples. We were always treated respectfully and our questions were addressed promptly. Speed: Cody and the roofing crew completed our entire roof in one day. From tearing off the old shingles to picking up all the small pieces of material around the house. Quality: Our new roof looks amazing and the attention to detail from the entire crew was excellent. Products: CoMitted 365 has access to high quality roofing materials that are only available for proven contractors. We received a 50 year materials warranty on our roof!"

"We contacted Severin to see if he could do a bid and he came to our place, some distance away, the next day. He gave us an estimate for all the work we needed which was not unreasonable. Two of our outbuildings are on a steep hill at lake level. He said "no problem". He put us on his schedule for mid August. The last week of July we received a call saying he would start the following week. They completed the job in 3 days. The new metal roofs are beautiful. They cleaned up and removed every bit of mess!"

"Dan treats his customers with respect and kindness. After the devastating storm that rolled through, he had already stopped by to scope out my roof and get things prepared to order before I even contacted him. When I did talk to Dan, I found out he was out checking on customers before even cleaning up his own property. Thats a top-level company when they think about their customers before themselves. I have nothing but praise to say about Dan. My roof was installed by him about 3 years ago, and even with the storm it held firm. I only lost some minor flashing when someone else's roof hit mine and tore it off."

Roofing questions, answered by experts

Most traditional lenders will not loan against a house with a leaking roof, and some lenders won’t lend against a home with a roof near the end of its lifespan. If the roof on your new home is in poor condition, you may need to have the seller offer a credit for a roof replacement after closing, or you can opt for a renovation loan—also called a 203k loan—to bundle the house and the roof replacement into one loan.

Properly installed chimney flashing can last anywhere from 15 to 50 years. However, flashing generally only needs to be replaced when it is damaged, corroded, or no longer creates a watertight seal. Several factors influence its longevity, including the material type, quality of installation, and local climate. For example, copper flashing tends to last longer than galvanized steel. Large storms and extreme weather can also damage flashing, potentially requiring earlier replacement. To ensure its longevity, it is recommended to have your chimney and roof inspected annually. A professional can assess the flashing's condition and recommend any necessary repairs.

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.

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.

A gable roof with steep pitches covered in asphalt shingles or wood shakes is the most popular roof for Cape Cod homes. Asphalt shingles started gaining popularity in the early 1900s, so wood shake roofs, which were popular in the 1700s when Cape Cod homes were first built, are the traditional option. You can further modernize your Cape Cod home by raising the roof in the front, back, or both to add living space and change up the traditional single-gable roof with doghouse dormers.
