"Jessy came to inspect the job promptly. We made the appointment. A few days later my chimney was cleaned quickly and neatly by two very courteous A1 employees, and the price was right. I recommend A1 Professional Chimney and Roofing and would hire them again."

"This is the second time that Monarch Roofing has done work for me. I thought I might be ready for a new roof (many of the neighbors are replacing theirs) but they said that it just needed some repairs, which included a replacement attic vent, minor shingle repair, and some work on the chimney flashing. The entire project was completed within a few days. It was very easy to set up the inspection appointment, they came out on time, and then promptly got me on the schedule for the actual work. Easy, trouble free job, just as it was the first time. From my recent experience, Monarch Roofing can be counted on not to sell you a complete roofing job when a repair is all thatâ s needed. Their folks are highly professional and always willing to take the time to explain whatâ s needed, what they recommend, any alternatives, and what the cost will be."

"Hiring Adore construction was the best decision for repairing my chimneys. Jack was excellent, very professional, on time and very reasonably priced. Jack's price was $9,000 less than my previous estimate for my chimney company. I will be using Adore for everything related to my chimney and roof"

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

There should be small gaps between your roof and the walls of your home, and other buildings. These small gaps let building materials shift, expand, and contract with weather and other outside forces, and they prevent moisture from wicking down walls from roofing and gutter systems. Without these strategic gaps, your home’s exterior and its finishes can sustain water damage, decay, peel, delaminate, and crack. However, there is a fine line between a smart gap and a problematic gap—all  gaps should be small, intentional, and covered or filled in with foam insulation to prevent pests from using them as access points.

Fall is widely considered the best time of year to replace a roof. The moderate temperatures are ideal for roofing crews to work and for new shingles to seal properly. Additionally, autumn weather is often drier, reducing the risk of weather-related delays compared to the rainier spring season.

While spring is also a viable option, the higher chance of rainfall can slow down the project. The main drawback to a fall installation is that it's the peak season for roofers, which can lead to higher prices and scheduling challenges.

To potentially save money, you could consider scheduling your roof replacement during the summer or winter off-seasons. However, both seasons have significant disadvantages. Extreme summer heat can make shingles too soft to handle, while winter's cold, snow, and ice can create dangerous working conditions and prevent shingles from sealing correctly, as they typically require temperatures above 40-45°F.

Permit fees sometimes include the cost of a solar panel inspection, but it depends on local regulations. In some locations, the inspection process involves several site visits with a preinstallation, in-progress, and post-installation inspection. We’ve covered the latter. Working with an experienced installer can help you through each step of the inspection process.

Some homes, like those with flat roofs, may not have eaves at all. Some contemporary-style homes also lack eaves, although many may have abbreviated eaves to divert water and protect the walls and foundation. Homes without eaves often have specific types of gutters affixed directly to the edge of the roof to provide adequate drainage.

It’s a good idea to conduct a DIY attic inspection at least once a year to look for signs of water damage, pest infestation, and damage to the underside of the roof decking. If you suspect any problems, call in a professional to confirm and come up with a solution. You should also hire a pro to inspect an attic before purchasing a home, and you can have an inspection done as a seller to entice buyers to move forward with an offer or purchase.
