"Norm and his team were one of the most excellent roofing/business experience I have encountered in a long time. Work and the personable attitude made such a difference! He restored my faith in the roofing business in Albuquerque ! I will definitely call on him again, great guy!"
"Outstanding! Our roof was in need of repair and the stress and worrying about it quickly diminished as soon as Jacob and his crew showed up at our home. The professionalism, knowledge and great attitude of everyone there to work really put our mind at ease. Any question we had about the process was answered thoroughly and with patience. The crew was very punctual, organized and professional. Qualities that are hard to find now a day. All of our expectations on our roof repair were overwhelmingly exceeded.

"I needed 3 Spanish roof tiles replaced, roof penetrations sealed, and some stucco repair. Their price was competitive with 4 other bids. Selected them because they could do roof tiles and stucco, and said they would leave behind spare tiles and color coat. They did the job in under two days. Stucco matching was very good. Online payment was very convenient. They were friendly and easy to work with."
"Excellent, Excellent, Excellent. I will absolutely use Alonso and crew again and have recommended them to several people. They showed up when they said they would, gave quick and accurate bids, communicated well and were very professional and easy to work with. I could not have gotten any luckier."
"I was texted the night I made my purchase and called the next day. They wanted to setup to start the following day, but I needed a week to get ready. They answered all my questions and showed up on time (7am) for both days it took to complete. Everyone was polite and did a good job. The roof debris was cleaned up nicely. Roof now is a gleaming white silicon layer. Now I'm waiting for a good storm to test out the new roof."
"I used Jose Marquez and his crew for many roofing jobs at Sunwest Centre in Roswell over ten years or so. Jose works with his crew and brings many years of experience to the job. We probably spent close to $500,000 with Jose over several years. I recommend him highly. Ed McClelland"
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.
Rubber shingles last for around 30 years, on average, and some can last for and include warranties for up to 50 years. Rubber roof shingles are more expensive than asphalt shingles, but they can last up to twice as long, meaning they provide more value in the long run. Just keep in mind that rubber roofs often require more maintenance than asphalt shingle roofs, including routine cleaning to avoid mold growth. Ask the roofer who installed your roof for an estimate for routine cleaning, if necessary.
The four types of roof sheathing are plywood, oriented strand board (OSB), planks, and tone-and-groove boards. The overwhelming majority of homes use the first two (especially OSB) and the other two are not often seen outside of special use cases. Methods of sheathing include solid sheathing, open sheathing where there are gaps, and plank sheathing. Most roofs are solid sheathing.
You shouldn’t put a new roof underlayment over an old one for a few reasons. Old felt must be removed in order to assess the condition of your roof decking, such as rotting wood or other structural issues. Also, if your roofer doesn't install a fresh layer of felt as is required by shingle manufacturers, your warranty may be voided. Finally, old underlayment removal is often included in the cost of roof repair or replacement, so there's no real benefit to leaving it on before installing a new layer.
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.
