"Having to deal with the Covid-19 virus this year has been bad enough. On top of that my wife and I found it necessary to face the challenge of replacing our cedar shake roof with a metal one. Not many contractors were willing to sign up for this task considering the unstable workforce resources. Vertex Roofing offered the type of metal roofing we wanted. Dea Casey responded quickly to all questions we had and promptly provided a quote for removing the existing shakes and installing a standing rib metal roof. The timing for the roof take-off and metal installation was done as scheduled. The Vertex crew was friendly and tolerated my involvement well, Any unforeseen issues were handled well and quickly. I recommend Vertex for your roofing needs."
"Overall A great experience. Promptly gave a quote. Got the job done sooner than I expected. Looks great and I looked not having to pull snow off the roof last winter. So far this summer the house feels cooler with the metal roof. Only reason I donâ  t give 5 stars is there were a lot of nails left around the house and garage from the tear off -some in the driveway but fortunately I did not get a flat tire pulling in at night when I came up the weekend after the job was done. I had to run into town and rent a magnet on wheels. Picked up 2-3 cups of nails. That said I do love the roof and would hire them again"
"Great service. Zac was our point of contact in the beginning Then Margret did the drawings. The whole team was great. I loved working with them and will surly will work with them again. Our house was only around 1700 square feet under roof, and will look forward to the next house we do."

"The mold was removed. However, the contractor was supposed to replace some insulation that was removed for cleaning. That insulation has not been replaced. Also, a roll of carpeting was taken from the basement after he was instructed to not take it away.
In phone calls and texts he had informed me that he had the roll of carpet and would return it and re-install the insulation, and has yet to do so several months later.
Manufacturers, insurance companies, and municipality regulations are phasing out three-tab shingles. Because of their short lifespan and lack of durability compared to other roofing material types, manufacturers are leaning toward better products, and cities and insurers are starting to require better building materials overall. However, 3-tab shingles are still for sale, and some roofing companies still install them.
An improper DIY roof cleaning could cause leaks by damaging the roofing material. Things like using too much water pressure on the shingles or applying a harsh cleaning solution could cause damage. If you do enough damage, you could harm the ability of the shingles or other roof materials to keep water out of your home.
The common formula for measuring a roof is length x width equals square footage. Professional roofers measure the length and width of your roof, including dormers, and determine its pitch and rafter sizes. If a roof surface is a triangle, they’ll divide that square footage by two, then add up the square footage of each surface to get the total for the roof.
Clay tile roofing is common for traditional villas, while flat roofs are more standard for modern villa homes. Clay tile roofs are long-lasting, require little maintenance, and are great for warmer climates. Flat roofs are usually low-cost, energy-efficient, and allow for rooftop gardens.
During the framing process, builders connect the roof to the walls with materials, including metal connectors, plywood panels, and wood blocks. These roof-to-wall connections are important and provide weatherproofing, noise and temperature insulation, protection against pests, and home integrity. The type of connector and method used will vary, depending on your home’s construction and needs, and each has pros and cons in terms of cost, noise insulation, longevity, and reliability. Talk with your home or roofing contractor about the best connectors for your roof and walls, and what they recommend for your home.
