"Alessandra came to my home earlier this month to take care of my house roof and gutters and was amazing to work with! She made a special second trip out to meet with me to add on my garage roof. Everything has been very easy so far. She gave me all of my options and helped me build my dream package for my home. I would definitely work with her again in the future!"

"Reed with On the Edge Exteriors provided a fast response to my request. He contacted me on Wednesday and arranged to meet with me the following day to evaluate a roof leak. He gave me an on the spot quote after assessing the problem. He then contacted me on Saturday to say that one of his workers was willing to complete the work on Sunday. His worker showed up as scheduled on Sunday afternoon and had the repair completed within a few hours. So far, after some significant rains, I haven’t had any leaks. Thanks to Reed and Aidan for their prompt proficient, and professional work."

"Josh from Complete Detail did a wonderful job buying and hanging our Christmas lights. Although we had imagined a simple string of lights outlining our roof, his suggestion to also put lights in several trees and large bushes makes our house look like a mini-Disneyland. We know that our children and grandchildren will be delighted when they come for Christmas!"

Roofing questions, answered by experts

While the terms are often used interchangeably, wood shakes and wood shingles have notable differences, primarily in their manufacturing and appearance. Wood shingles are machine-cut on both sides, resulting in a smooth, thin, and uniform product. In contrast, wood shakes are typically hand-split or sawed on only one side, giving them a more textured, natural, and rustic appearance. Due to these manufacturing differences, shakes are generally thicker, heavier, and less uniform than shingles. They are also more expensive. Homeowners seeking a more rustic aesthetic often choose shakes, while those preferring a more uniform look may opt for shingles. Both are installed in an overlapping pattern to create a durable, weather-resistant roof.

Chimney crowns are located above the final brick layer at the top of a chimney. It’s important to get regular chimney maintenance and inspection, because it is near impossible to spot chimney crown damage without getting on your roof.

A gable roof with steep pitches covered in asphalt shingles or wood shakes is the most popular roof for Cape Cod homes. Asphalt shingles started gaining popularity in the early 1900s, so wood shake roofs, which were popular in the 1700s when Cape Cod homes were first built, are the traditional option. You can further modernize your Cape Cod home by raising the roof in the front, back, or both to add living space and change up the traditional single-gable roof with doghouse dormers.

Furring strips (also called wood stripping) are not always necessary for a metal roof installation, but they are highly recommended and may be required by local building codes or the roofing manufacturer's specifications. There are several key reasons to use them:

  • Energy Efficiency: Furring strips, made of wood or metal, create an air gap between the metal panels and the roof deck. This acts as a thermal break, reducing heat transfer into your home and improving overall energy efficiency.

  • Moisture and Condensation Control: The air gap allows for better airflow, which helps prevent moisture buildup and condensation under the metal panels.

  • Structural Support: They provide a solid, even frame to which you can attach the metal roofing panels.

It is especially important to use furring strips when installing a metal roof over existing shingles. Without them, the roof surface can be uneven, and you will experience greater solar heat gain.

No, there’s no specific building code that requires a roof overhang. However, installing your roof with the standard 2-inch overhang is good practice, as it helps direct runoff away from your fascia boards and roof decking and into your gutters. Some overhang is especially important in areas that see heavy rainfall and snowfall, as the risk of water getting under the roofing material and causing water damage is much higher.
