"Extremely satisfied with the exterior repairs Velasquez Roofing LLC completed on my home. They replaced my rotting fascia boards and repaired the foyer entrance using Hardie board, and the final result looks spectacular. The crew was professional, knowledgeable, and meticulous about cleaning up every day. They handled a tricky, tedious job with skill and were very transparent about the process, cost, and were extremely helpful with suggestions of material. The new siding in the front door area blends in perfectly with the surrounding brick. I highly recommend them for quality work!"
"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."

"Mike replaced my roof a few years ago and it was Amazing experience.
He took care of everything turn key! From meeting the adjuster, to making sure the job was finished.

"We originally hired aCFR to replace the flooring in our den. David and his crew did such a fantastic job we then hired them to replace our roof. They were very responsive and professional and the roof looks great. They fixed all the problems that Maven hadn’t been able to fix in the past. I couldn’t recommend Savid and Carolina Flooring and Roofing any higher. Definitely 5 out of 5 stars."
"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"
The placement of snow guards depends on the individual roof, but typically snow guards are placed between 12 and 18 inches from the eaves, though they can be placed as close as six inches and as far as 24 inches from the eaves. A roofing professional can assess the roof and potential snow loads to determine the best placement.
Skipping the installation of a drip edge or gutter apron can lead to significant water damage. Without this component, water is more likely to seep under roofing materials or leak behind gutters, damaging the fascia, soffits, siding, and even the interior of your home, such as the attic. Over time, this moisture can cause rot, mold, and deterioration. In colder climates, a missing drip edge also increases the risk of ice dams, which can lead to expensive repairs. A drip edge is an essential part of a roof's drainage system, and some local building codes may even require its installation to protect the home from water damage.
Gaps between tiles are necessary to help with weatherproofing, allow for thermal expansion, and increase wind resistance. In general, a small gap no larger than 3 millimeters wide will encourage proper drainage and limit cracking. Beyond that, tiles should overlap a minimum of 3 inches, except at the eaves where they should extend to the center of the gutter.
The average cost to winterize a house is about $250, but it can range from $65 to $1,000 depending on the type of work that needs to be done. For homeowners that are experienced DIYers, it can save quite a bit on costs. However, you shouldn’t attempt tasks you aren’t familiar with or are potentially dangerous.
Chimney caps have a solid top but perforated sides so smoke can exit safely. If rain or snow falls downward, chimney caps can protect the chimney’s interior. Just note that if rain or snow blows in sideways, there’s a higher likelihood it will enter the chimney—but it's not often a cause for concern as long as you have a cap.
