Q: Can you walk on a stone-coated steel roof?

• <div><p>Sticky shoes help, but you shouldn't be walking on the steel roof&mdash; let the pros do that. it's dangerous enough to walk on asphalt shingled roofs which have quite a bit of texture. Stone coating adds a lot of grip, but it still doesn't lock your foot down, so if you absolutely have to be on the roof, make sure you&rsquo;re secured in another way, like with the harness and rope.</p></div>

Q: How much does a new roof or roof replacement cost?

• <div><p>The cost to replace a roof typically ranges from $8,700 to $22,000, with a national average of around $9,200. The total cost depends on the size of your roof and whether you need a full replacement or can simply place new shingles over the old ones. A full replacement, which is necessary if the roof is several decades old or has multiple layers, is more expensive. This process involves tearing off the old roofing materials, inspecting and repairing the underlying structure, and then installing the new roof.</p></div>

Q: Is a drip edge necessary on a roof?

• <div><p>Yes, because it prevents water damage, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/8-common-problems-can-lead-pest-infestations.htm">deters pests</a> from accessing the roof decking, protects the roof from wind damage, and lengthens the roof's life. Plus, building codes require it. </p></div>

Q: Will insurance cover a roof with two layers of shingles?

• <div><p>Many insurance policies will not cover a roof with two layers of shingles. An additional layer of shingles increases the risk of various kinds of damage, and insurers typically won&rsquo;t pay claims on a roof with an overlay. Adding a layer of shingles may even jeopardize your insurance coverage entirely, so check your policy to ensure you stay within coverage guidelines. </p></div>

Q: What questions should I ask a roofing contractor?

• <div><p>Before hiring a roofing contractor, it's wise to ask several key questions. Inquire if they are licensed for roof replacement and repair and if they hold any special certifications. Ask if they will be completing all the work themselves or subcontracting parts of it. It's also important to understand the project timeline, whether they will remove the old roof or place new shingles on top, and how they will handle cleanup after the project is complete. Finally, ask about warranties for both work and materials, what recourse you have if issues like leaks arise, and if they can provide customer references.</p></div>

I hired this guy for multiple things. First was cleaning up and removal of 2 old barn demolition and clean up. Seeming how good of job he did, I asked him if he would be willing to do ceder tree removal on my fence line of my 80 acres. He said he could do it. He did a great job. Great work...

I don’t remember the exact amount but I thought it was a fair estimate. The younger gentleman was very professional but I didn’t want to deal with a cellulose product because it compacts quickly compared to other products.

This was a horrible experience. The quality of work was very poor. The deck looks horrible- the levels are off and the color is not what I wanted- it's an eye sore. They made decisions on the deck without even consulting with me- it was like it was none of my business. He spoke to my husband...

"I?ve lived in this house for ten years and realized I?d never actually had the roof professionally inspected. I called Apple Roofing for a maintenance check, and I am so glad I did because they found a cracked flashing around my chimney that was just starting to seep. Instead of trying to upsell me on a whole new roof, they gave me an honest, affordable repair plan to stop the leak at its source. It?s refreshing to find a company in Central Nebraska that values integrity over a quick buck. They explained exactly why the freeze-thaw cycle was causing the issue and gave me tips on what to look for next winter. Truly a knowledgeable and trustworthy team!"

"I contacted J Tech about a full roof replacement after I had been ignored by two competitor companies for almost a year. J Tech called me back immediately, scheduled an appointment, and had someone meet with me within a week of contacting them. They did an excellent job of explaining the process of putting on a new roof and the products they would be using. They also answered all of my questions and addressed any concerns I had. Once we signed our contract and paid our down payment, it was about an eight week wait for our new roof. Once they were able to start on my roof, they had the entire project done in a day and cleaned things up so well that the only indication that they had been at our house was the new roof. I plan on using J Tech for any future roofing needs I have and highly recommend them."
