"Fantastic!! Boaz and his crews are absolutely amazing. Very professional and humble. They were there for me after my house was damaged by two wind storms. They made me feel safe again!! I would HIGHLY recommend Mendenhall Builders."
"Nick Whitehead came out and inspected my roof then promised to deliver a quality product for no more than the insurance company agreed to pay. He was very helpful in selecting the color and addressing my many concerns. Very polite, very respectful and even offered to kennel my dogs if they were too disturbed by the racket. His crew showed up early literally working from sun up to sunset. They were very careful of my landscaping and made sure the site was cleaned up before leaving for the day. The job was finished up in 2 days and I couldn't be happier with the result. I highly recommend Nick Whitehead and his crew of you need a new roof installed. He made it as painless as can be and was always available for questions and on site check in with me and his crew."
"Western Montana Roofing was amazing from start to finish! They were professional, kept us informed throughout the process, and delivered a high-quality roof. The crew was on time, efficient, and left everything spotless. Highly recommend them for anyone needing roofing work!"
"I was just impressed with the owner Anthony Birch I actually believe hes a savant, iv never seen in my 67 years a man take such pains to make sure my roof was perfect and went so far to make sure it was structurally sound This is the company id hire for any roof project"
"The entire experience with Dabella was very professional. The sales representative (Andrew) did a great job of discussing the problems with our old roof and providing information about the new Debella roof system. There was no high pressure sales pitch and he was always very pleasant. The work crew showed up promptly, as scheduled, at 7 am and stayed with the project finishing in just one day. Our new Debella roof looks great and should last us a lifetime."
"I discovered a leak in my roof during a recent storm. Dylan Wilson, the owner of Lolo Peak Roofing, came out while it was still pouring rain and patched the leak until he could do a full inspection. Within a week, he and his hard-working crew were here to replace my aging roof. They kept me updated about the timeline throughout the project and did wonderful work while sticking to the original quote. There was water damage inside the home and they were able to remediate that as well. I would highly recommend them for anyone’s roofing needs."
You can install solar panels on a flat or pitched roof, but keep in mind that they will need to rest at a 30- to 50-degree tilt for optimal sun absorption. It costs more to install solar panels on a flat roof because you will need to install a framing system and likely hire a structural engineer. If your roof has a pitch of more than 40 degrees, it may not be a good candidate for solar panels.
The lifespan of asphalt shingles is typically between 15 and 30 years, depending on the type of shingle and other factors. Standard 3-tab shingles have the shortest lifespan, around 10 to 15 years. Architectural shingles last longer, averaging 20 to 25 years. Luxury or designer asphalt shingles are the most durable, with a lifespan of 40 years or more. Climate, installation quality, and regular maintenance also play a significant role in how long your shingles will last. Signs that they need replacement include granule loss, bald spots, and roof leaks.
The best way to know if your roof can support solar panels is to hire a structural engineer. They’ll look at your roof and approve the design of your solar panel system or suggest changes. The best roofing for solar panels is made from strong materials like asphalt shingles and metal, but tile and gravel will work. Softer materials like thatch or temporary structures are not a good fit.
Asphalt shingles, wooden shakes, and slate or clay roofing tiles are often replaceable without having to replace the entire roof. It's possible to replace just a few shingles or tiles without much trouble in the case of wind damage or other minor problems. DIYers can perform the task in some situations. However, professional repair is always the best bet when it comes to roofing.
Generally, the term “rolled roofing” refers to MSR (mineral surface roll) roofing. This type of roofing is similar to asphalt shingles but comes in a roll that’s unraveled and installed over your roof deck. There are many types of rolled roofing, including TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen roofing (aka torch down roofing).
