"Found sharp pieces of metal roof in our property after the roof was complete. Left a large gap between logs and metal roof/trim that had to be fixed. Still waiting for follow-up service to straighten out roof lines."

"Alessandra came to my home earlier this month to take care of my house roof and gutters and was amazing to work with! She made a special second trip out to meet with me to add on my garage roof. Everything has been very easy so far. She gave me all of my options and helped me build my dream package for my home. I would definitely work with her again in the future!"

"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."

"He cleaned the covered gutters of pine needles and even washed the sap off with hose. When it started raining he still continued until the downpour. Very friendly but also professional. I would highly recommend him."

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.

A roof pitch that’s too shallow won’t shed runoff as quickly, so you have an increased risk of water intrusion through the seams between your roofing materials. In colder climates, snow and ice will accumulate more easily on your roof, which can add enough weight to cause roof collapse and structural damage to your home.

Spray foam roofs don’t stand up well to impact, so they won’t last as long as something like a tar and gravel roof and other flat roof materials in areas where extreme weather is common. Due to the reduced durability, you’ll also need more frequent maintenance and repairs for a spray foam roof, and those costs will add up over time. Spray foam roofs are relatively uncommon, so you may also struggle to hire a roofing contractor who can install one.

Gable vents are more common in older homes built before the 1970s. Homes built after this era use ridge vents or soffits, but you can sometimes find homes with both gable and ridge vents. Gable vents can have a purely aesthetic purpose, while ridge vents hide in the roof shingles so air can flow under the roof while keeping the attic dry.

While two-layer torch down roofs are easier to install than three-layer roofing, it is best not to DIY the installation. Torch down roofs require expert knowledge of the application process to get it right the first time and prevent leaks or poor craftsmanship, not to mention that roof work can be dangerous.
