"Mr. Blanchard is a great communicator - he met me for a face to face quote - made observations and shared details about the skylight replacement along with the roofing details. He called and kept me informed of arrival dates & times, when the roofers were on the way, the number of workers he was sending, etc. We had rain delays and the stores everything nicely until they could return. I have not found one nail or roofing debris in my yard. I highly recommend this company."
"I am truly pleased at the work that DE Drip Edge Roofing did for me. Mr. Carrothers is a man of his work and a consummate professional. He even corrected issues that he did not have to do when he repaired my roof. I would not hesitate to call him again if I had roofing problems."
"Miguel and his team did a fantastic job repairing our roof! They were quick, professional, and super easy to work with. Everything was handled smoothly, and the repair looks great. We’ll definitely be calling Excel Roofing again for any future roof work. Highly recommend Miguel and his crew!"
"I couldn’t be happier with my experience with PQR Exteriors! From start to finish, the roof replacement process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. Their team showed up on time, worked efficiently, and paid close attention to every detail. They kept me informed throughout the project and made sure everything was done to the highest standard. The new roof looks fantastic and has already gotten compliments from neighbors. Cleanup was spotless—you’d never know they were here except for the beautiful new roof! I highly recommend PQR Exteriors to anyone needing reliable, top-quality roofing work."
"It went great. I have roofs on 2 homes replaced by Ultra Roofing as a result of hail and wind damage. Juan from Ultra Roofing working with my insurance company and made the whole process seamless for me. The crew was punctual, professional and did a good job and took the time as promised. I would recommend Ultra Roofing for any roof repair and/or installation work."
"Recently had our roof replaced by A&M Premier Roofing Co. Originally met with one of the owners who explained the work, and process of the entire project which followed soon after. From estimate to completion of work, this company was great to work with! They installed a beautiful roof. The installation crew was right on time, and finished within a specified time - all very friendly, professional, skilled and very efficient. They were meticulous with their clean up - no trash, and no nails. Thank you A&M Premier Roofing Co. owners, office staff, and especially to the roof installers/crew; couldnâ  t wish for a better experience! Ruth Z."
"We hired Triangle Home Exteriors for a full wrap siding work after reading about them and meeting with Beth in person. Beth was patient and helpful and negotiated with us regarding additional projects and detailed the work in a nice presentation and through the invoices. The gem to her business is Brandon her project manager who helped moved items out of the way and made sure the crew stayed on task and even sometimes took to task himself on the project or brought something to attention when something even a small detail did not look correct, which my daughter respected. All house projects can be a little stressful especially smack dab in the middle of the holiday season like ours was, but 3/4 of the job was done before X-mas, and it turned out well especially the siding color and trim. I would recommend Beth and her crew for your siding needs."
"Following severe storms in our vicinity, our property experienced significant water ingress through the roof and attic, resulting in substantial damage to the ceilings and walls of our guest bedroom. In response, we promptly sought urgent roof inspection services via the HomeAdvisor app. Roofline Xperts of NC swiftly responded to our request, with Chris attending our site the subsequent day. His inspection revealed the absence of numerous shingle panels and identified significant wind damage in other areas of the roof. Upon consultation with our insurance company, immediate authorization was granted for Chris to install an emergency patch, mitigating further damage. Chris coordinated with our insurer's appointed inspector, providing comprehensive documentation and facilitating a thorough assessment of the roof's condition. Consequently, our insurer determined that a complete roof replacement was necessary, with coverage extended for the expenses. Chris promptly scheduled the installation of the new roof, presenting us with available time slots for the following week. The installation crew arrived punctually and completed the project by late afternoon, ensuring a thorough cleanup of the site. Additionally, Chris negotiated a premium warranty upgrade, incorporating the installation of rubberized membranes and synthetic roof runner underlayment. Based on the exceptional service and quality workmanship provided by Chris and Roofline Xperts of NC, we wholeheartedly endorse them for any roofing repair or replacement needs."
"Chris and his team were awesome. In and out in a single day. It was like they weren't even here except for a beautiful brand new roof! My husband and I are so pleased with the work and highly recommend Cova. You're in good, fair hands with this local company...look no further!!"
"Steven is very professional and explained our roofing options to us. He worked closely with our insurance in getting our wind damaged roof replaced. Steven met with the insurance adjuster when he was at our home. The installation crew did great work and completed our roof in one day. We are very happy with our new roof and the quality of work done by Steven Batty Contracting. We are glad that we chose them to do our roof replacement. We will certainly refer them to our friends and neighbors."
Thatched roofs last for between 30 and 50 years in most cases, which is longer than most asphalt roofs. However, getting that life span from your thatched roof requires more maintenance than you’d need for most other materials, including fireproofing, brushing, cleaning, and rethatching as the material gets worn down. You’ll also need routine inspections to ensure you’re not at risk of leaks.
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.
Homeowners insurance does not usually cover roof soft spot repair. Since this damage is usually caused by wear and tear and often found on aging roofs, your insurance claim will likely be rejected. If a soft spot develops due to damage from a storm, repairs may be covered, but in general, expect to pay out of pocket for soft spot repairs.
You should plan on waiting as long as it takes for the roof deck to dry out completely if it gets wet. In most cases, this will take about 24 hours, but it could take longer if you have shading on your roof or cloudy weather after the rainfall that prevents the sun from drying the material.
The roof pitch on a Cape Cod house is normally 8/12 or 10/12, meaning the roof rises 8 to 10 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal run. This is steeper than the now-standard 6/12 pitch, as Cape Cod homes were originally popular in northern states, where the steeper pitch helped snowfall slide readily off the roof.
