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."

"If you want a quality roof, professionally installed, at a reasonable price, then look no further! Carolina Flooring and Roofing (CFR) is a great company to work with. The owner, Dave, worked with us to ensure that we got the best price on the roof we wanted. We wanted to upgrade our damaged roof from asphalt shingle to metal standing seam roofing to avoid future wind issues that plagued us in the past (hence the new roof) and one that would stand up to the saltwater issues we have here on the coast. Dave helped us select the correct roof for our needs, one that should outlast both my wife and me. Dave professional yet easy-going attitude let us know that he thought of us as more than just clients. His personal touch and friendly demeanor made him a pleasure to work with. Dave navigated the insurance claim maze for us to maximize our settlement and to make the whole process easier for us. Dave demonstrated honesty and integrity every step of the way. I am not sure about you, but I think having an honest and dependable contractor (like CFR) is the most important thing to have in a roofing contractor. I am not going to lie; as with any job, there were issues. But this is where Dave and CFR shined! Dave was on top of correcting any issues well before I could even bring them to his attention. It felt great knowing that I had Dave and CFR providing a quality product with the desire to do things right! Do yourself a favor and call Dave at CFR today. You will not regret it!"
"My overall experience was outstanding. Luis came out on Sunday and gave me an estimate and started work 24 hours later. In 2 hours installed railings for my front porch stairs. Absolutely perfect. Recommend LMJ. Thank you Luis and your crews. Bob Foster"
Unfortunately, there’s no definitive answer to this question, but the wind rating of your shingles will give you a good idea of what wind speeds can damage your roof. If you’re concerned about damage, inspect your roof following windy conditions to look for signs of wind damage to your shingles. When in doubt, consider hiring a professional who fixes roofs to carry out an expert inspection. Remember that hurricanes, tropical storms, and tornadoes are likely to cause the most damage, but even severe thunderstorms can bring winds that compromise your roofing system.
The roof overhang, also known as the eaves, does count as part of the roof’s square footage because it must be covered with the roofing material. The overhang is one of the reasons why you can’t base your roof's square footage on the square footage of the house. The roof square footage must also account for the pitch of the roof as well as the eaves.
Mansard roofs are still popular in Paris, where they originated, and throughout France. In the United States, you can find mansard roofs on some older buildings in Manhattan. The architecture also appears on some Victorian and Colonial-style homes. There are pockets of homes with mansard roofs in New York City and Los Angeles, where they were once more popular than they are today.
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.
Yes, replacing a roof is always a good investment if the current one is in poor condition. Not only will it preserve the structural integrity of the home, but it can also add value at the time of sale. The average return on investment for a new roof is between 48% and 61%. Prospective buyers are also more likely to purchase a home with a recently replaced roof since that means they won’t need to worry about that expense in the near future.
