"I was told during an insurance inspection that I had moss and possibly mold growing on the roof of a rental property. The black roof looked fine to me, but I decided to have it professionally cleaned. I found Roof Wizards after reading a lot of good reviews from several different review sites. I called and they were able to look at my roof from a satellite view and could almost immediately give me a price. I set up the appointment but was curious to see what the process entailed, so I decided to hang out at the property to watch and learn. On the morning of the service, three men showed up in a company truck with lots of tanks, pumps, and hose reels attached. They got right to work on the roof. They brushed some areas removing a lot of green furry moss and then treated the entire roof with their own chemical mixture. I know it had some bleach in it, or at least it smelled like bleach. While one man was on the roof spraying a second man was on the ground wetting down the side of the house and the plants surrounding the house. This I was told was so the chemicals they used would not hurt my plants. They did the worst parts of the roof twice, and to my surprise, the black roof wasn't black at all. Within a short time, it was a forest green roof, that looked new. They worked about three hours between the house and the garage and advised me it would take several good hard rains before all the discoloration was gone. I will say I had one area on the garage roof that didn't come completely clean, even after a few hard rains. I spoke to the office and sent them a picture, and they had a technician out within a couple of days to retreat the one stubborn area, of course at no charge. I was impressed with the way they conducted their business and stood behind their work. I was also impressed that all my plants and bushes were unharmed, However, I was most impressed by the dramatic change in the aesthetics of the home. I don't understand why realtors aren't suggesting this to the sellers of older homes. I've had several neighbors comment on the dramatic change to the roof. To all the workers at Roof Wizards of Hammonton, I say, "Job well done.""

"Long Roofing went above and beyond when installing our roof and gutter. The job turned out more difficult than we thought it would be but Long Roofing made me feel comfortable and reassured that they would fix everything. Everyone involved from the salesperson to customer service listened to our needs and treated me with respect. The roof looks amazing. I don't want to get into price, but even though you may get someone less expensive, using Log Roofing was well worth a little extra cost"

Roofing questions, answered by experts

The lifespan of a torch down roof depends on the number of layers installed. A single-ply system typically lasts between 10 and 15 years, while a multi-layer system with two or three layers can last from 15 to 25 years. Although a multi-layer option may be more expensive upfront, it provides a longer service life. Warranties often reflect this, with about 12 years for a one-ply system and 15 years for a two-ply system. For context, this lifespan is shorter than other common roofing materials like wood or asphalt shingles, which typically last 20 to 30 years, with high-quality versions lasting up to 50 years.

Using a staple gun to hang Christmas lights on your roof or shingles is not recommended. Puncturing your roof with staples can cause damage, leading to cracks, leaks, and exposure to the elements. Staples are also less reliable than other methods like roof clips. For a safer alternative that won't damage your roof, use shingle tabs.

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.

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.

You should plan on waiting as long as it takes for the roof deck to dry out completely if it gets wet. In most cases, this will take about 24 hours, but it could take longer if you have shading on your roof or cloudy weather after the rainfall that prevents the sun from drying the material.
