Q: Are icicles on a roof a sign of poor insulation or another problem?

• <div><p>While a few icicles on your roof are standard, a large accumulation can be a sign of a bigger problem, such as poor insulation. This is particularly true if you are also dealing with ice dams. If you have numerous large icicles, it is recommended to have a roofing contractor diagnose potential insulation issues and create a plan to solve them.</p></div>

Q: Are 3-tab shingles the least expensive?

• <div><p>The purchase price of 3-tab shingles is less than that of other material varieties, such as architectural shingles. However, 3-tab shingles generally last far fewer years than even the least expensive architectural ones. Other roofing types, such as metal or clay, also cost more than 3-tab shingles. However, if you plan to stay in your home for many years, the long-term cost of any of these options can compete with 3-tabs because of their longevity. </p></div>

Q: Do roofers need to come inside?

• <div><p>In most cases, no, roofers won&rsquo;t need to come inside. Some reasons roofers may need to come inside are to assess ventilation. inspect roof leaks, or check for any structural concerns.</p></div>

Q: How long does single-ply roofing last?

• <div><p>Single-ply roofing lasts for between 15 and 30 years, depending on the type you install and the climate in your area. TPO roofing has the shortest lifespan of 15 to 30 years, followed by PVC, which lasts for 20 to 30 years. EPDM roofing is the longest-lasting single-ply roofing option, with a lifespan of 30 to 40 years. Keep in mind that hail, strong winds, blown debris, and foot traffic can all reduce how long your flat roof lasts.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to frame a roof?

• <div><p>Framing a roof can take from several days to a week or more, depending on the size and complexity of the roof, the number of people working on the framing, weather conditions, and more. Roof framing is often the final step of framing a house, although in some cases, the roof may be framed before the interior of the home in order to offer more protection from the elements.</p></div>

I hired them to remove some ice jams from my roof. They use steam to remove them, so it is a little more expensive than one would think. However, it worth it. The weather has been terrible this winter. Additionally, the ice jams were bigger than I have ever seen them. I felt it was better to pay...

"I was recommended by a close friend Randy Fletcher to hire Caleb as I needed yard work done. I hired Caleb to run a hi-tech mower and a weed trimmer/brush cutter. I showed him once on how to operate and he did everything perfectly. After an hour of work I increased his agreed price by $3 per hour. When I found out his last name was Formo, I knew that I hired the right man as I know his elders. I highly recommend Caleb to anyone. Not only for yard work but for any projects he may want to take on. He is highly efficient! Please call if you have any questions. Al Kochmann 218-747-2263"
