"Awesome company... the whole process was smooth and easy . There sales manager came out on sat Nov 7 paid them on Monday Nov 9 and another associate came out tues Nov 10 to measure and they put the new roof on Friday Nov 13. They came at 7 am Friday morning and were done by 3 pm and cleaned everything up and it looks great. I would recommend them. Professional and reliable."
"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."
"My husband is no longer able to do the maintenance on our house, or advise me. There was rotting trim wood, that needed to be replaced, at the roofline of our house. I contacted Angie on a Sunday nite. The next day owner Roland called me, we met the next day. He was able to fit in the needed repairs 1 day later and take a piece of wood to the paint store to match the color. The result looks perfect!!"
"I will never call anyone but Michael Shaw and his crew to repair or replace our roof! They were fast and professional along with fantastic cleanup and great looking roof. Thank you Michael Shaw for being there for us! We also love the beautiful blue shingles and so do the neighbors."
"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"
"All around great service, very professional and straight forward experience. From evaluation of roof condition and or damage, to working with the insurance adjuster to help determine replacement over repair options, Dunlop Roofing was top notch and did a wonderful job installing my new roof in just one day. An awesome company that I fell comfortable recommending."
Walking on an asbestos roof can pose a risk. Asbestos roofing materials can become brittle over time, increasing the chances of them breaking or releasing fibers when stepped on. Additionally, walking on an asbestos roof without proper precautions can cause further damage to the material. If possible, avoid touching an asbestos roof in any way and consult with a professional about removing and replacing the roof.
The principal, common, and auxiliary rafters are the most frequently used types of rafters. Principal rafters are large and typically appear toward the edges of the roof. Common rafters are smaller than principal rafters. Some people may use a mix of common and principal rafters. The auxiliary rafter is not common, but it provides extra reinforcement for a principal rafter on a large building.
Some people prefer to use connectors consisting of galvanized metal to replace the birdsmouth cuts on the rafter board. Common names for these metal pieces include hurricane ties and variable-pitch connectors. Making birdsmouth cuts is more cost-effective than purchasing these connectors for each rafter. However, because making large birdsmouth cuts to accommodate extra-wide exterior walls can weaken the rafter, a connector may be the better option in some cases.
Copper roofs last an average of around 100 years, making it one of the longest-lasting types of roofs. It’s significantly more expensive than an asphalt shingle roof, but it also lasts three to four times as long, providing great value for the money. You can extend the life of your copper roof by carrying out routine maintenance, like scheduling annual cleaning and roof inspections.
The best material for your shed roof depends on your budget and personal preferences. For instance, if you’re looking for the most cost-effective option, rolled roofing is your best bet. Just be aware that it only lasts for five to eight years. If you prefer something with a longer life span (and you’re willing to pay for that durability), consider slate shingles, which can last for hundreds of years.
