"Scott Roofing did a superlative job with our “mandated” roof repair. Our Homeowners’ Insurance Company created considerable stress with their ultimatum for full replacement of our roof by a date that is problematic in our region. Despite the looming date and two late winter storms, they handled our project with ease. The team was both polite and respectful. They worked tirelessly to dusk most days and took great care of our exposed rooftop those windy and rainy nights. And when they left each evening, their equipment was always tightly stored away and the yard swept of roof debris. We so appreciated their level of professionalism. Without hesitation we say, Scott Roofing is the best!"
"They are experienced craftsman that can successfully complete the most difficult roofing challenge. They also are competent roofing repair technicians if replacement is unnecessary. Another small point, they leave the job cleaner than when they began."
"It was great! The work was done in a timely manner, and even with snow on the ground they did an incredible job getting the mess of roof removal cleaned up. The roof looks great and they are right now bidding 2 more jobs for me. I would highly recommend."

A cool roof is any heat-reflecting roof that rejects solar energy more efficiently than traditional roofing (staying about 50 degrees cooler). Thanks to this ability, a cool roof will make your home cooler on a hot, sunny day. Cool roofs come in a variety of materials, including asphalt, wood, or polymer shingles, clay or concrete tiles, metal, and more.
There are several pros and cons of flat roofs. One disadvantage of flat roofs is that you lose potential attic space because it's flat. Flat roofs tend to pool water and because they lack an angle, any leak in the roof—usually due to a bad seal—has the potential to let in a lot of water. They don’t work well in climates with snow. Flat roofs are also structurally weaker than sloped roofs.
A roof's lifespan can range from 15 to 200 years, with an average of 25 to 50 years, depending heavily on the material, quality of installation, maintenance, and local climate. Asphalt shingle roofs are common and typically last 15 to 30 years; three-tab shingles have a lifespan of about 20 years, while architectural shingles can last up to 30. More durable materials have longer lifespans: metal roofs last 30 to 100 years, clay and concrete can last 50 to 100 years, and slate roofs can last up to 200 years with proper care. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning gutters and replacing damaged shingles, is crucial for extending the life of any roof.
Yes, an underlayment is required for metal roofs, especially when installed over an indoor residential living space. This underlayment acts as a protective barrier between the metal roofing and the roof deck. Common materials include tar, asphalt felt, or woven synthetic polymers. Depending on local building codes, existing shingles in good condition may also suffice. A quality underlayment is crucial as it provides protection against water intrusion, improves energy efficiency through insulation, helps absorb sound, and ultimately extends the lifespan of your roof.
While a few icicles on your roof are standard, a large accumulation can be a sign of a bigger problem, such as poor insulation. This is particularly true if you are also dealing with ice dams. If you have numerous large icicles, it is recommended to have a roofing contractor diagnose potential insulation issues and create a plan to solve them.
