"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"

"I would refer other people to him and definitely hire him again. He did an excellent job. He was removing ice dam from the roof and he does snow removal in the winter. He was very professional. Shawn said it would be a two man job with his uncle, however he brought his fiance instead and she was not experienced it was her first time doing it. She did not have the time efficiency and quality that the uncle would have done."

Roofing questions, answered by experts

The proper specifications for furring strips can vary, so you should always consult the roofing manufacturer's guidelines or your roofer. However, general recommendations are as follows:

  • Thickness: Furring strips are typically 1 to 1-1/2 inches thick, meaning standard 1-by or 2-by lumber works well. In areas with extreme winds, a thinner strip may be preferred to limit how much air can get under the roof and cause uplift. A thicker strip can add slightly more insulation but will also increase installation costs.

  • Spacing: The recommended spacing for furring strips is between 12 and 24 inches apart on center. Proper spacing is crucial for ensuring good airflow, adequate drainage, noise reduction, and better energy efficiency. The ideal spacing can depend on the roof's pitch and the specific type of metal roofing being installed.

While you can stay at home during a roof replacement, you probably won’t want to, as it’ll be very noisy. The area around your home will also be messy, as roofers will be discarding old roof material and storing their equipment on the ground.

You can replace a roof in the winter, though it’s not the most popular time to do so. The biggest drawback of winter roofing work is the weather. Snow and ice make for dangerous, slippery working conditions. Plus, shingles can only be installed in temperatures above 40 to 45 degrees. 

The best time to replace a roof is in the spring or fall when the weather is mild. However, you can likely save some money by booking the job in the winter off-season, when roofers have more availability. 

Sometimes, a local authority won’t approve a request for a roofing permit. This may be because of incomplete documentation, unclear project plans, processing delays, or insufficient communication. There may also be discrepancies with building codes.

Installing solar panels involves drilling small holes in your roof to secure the solar panel mounting brackets. These brackets hold the solar panels in place and must withstand strong weather conditions so they’re secured into your roof. However, holes and screws are sealed to prevent leaking and further damage.
