"It was Saturday night when I heard a strange noise outside. I went to see what it might be when I noticed several shingles tore off the roof. I immediately came inside and started searching the web for suppliers who would be open on Sunday. That’s when I came across Buffalo's Best Roofing. Buffalo’s Best Roofing was open on Sunday and able to supply me with the shingles I needed to repair the roof. I will definitely use Buffalo Best Roofing for any projects I have going forward. The concern they showed about my issue and, the professionalism of the people I spoke with sold me."

"Mike stayed active in asking and informing me of all the work being done. He explained in detail with pictures of how he made repairs to the sections of roof water damaged. The crew was organized, as well respectful. Clean up was very well thorough. I was amazed at the coordination and efficiency the roof was stripped repaired and finished. The water proofing around the skylights was well done. I hope Mike and his crew will be around when it?s time to do this roof again in 25 plus years"

"They discovered a problem with the structure of the roof and immediately installed a new roof along with the shingles. I told them I was going away in three days and they said they wou,d finish before then a d they did. If they had not taken care of the roof having shifted and replaced it so fast,it may have collapsed. They were fantastic."

Roofing questions, answered by experts

Roof work is dangerous and exacting, and a misstep could lead to even more costly repairs, so we do not recommend DIYing. If you are dead set on giving it a go, practice safety measures. Wear a harness, only work during mild weather, and have a partner to help. Potentially DIY-friendly jobs include patching up small leaks, sealing areas around the chimney, and replacing a few shingles.

When installed and maintained properly, a cedar shake roof should last up to 60 years. Severe weather and high winds will damage your roof, reducing its life span. Expect a shorter life span if the roofer didn't use top-grade material, didn’t have cedar shake expertise, didn’t create the proper ventilation, or didn’t use the correct fasteners. Keeping up with maintenance will help it last longer. It’s also a good idea to get roof inspections on a regular basis to help spot repairs before they become major issues.

Whether a metal or shingle roof is better for you depends on your preferences. Standing seam metal roofs require little to no maintenance, but if you install a screw-down metal roof where the fasteners are exposed, the gaskets on the fasteners will dry rot and need to be replaced. Generally, screw-down metal roofs need to be re-screwed every 15 to 20 years.

Metal roofs are energy-efficient and have extended warranties, while asphalt shingles are less durable than most. They tend to lose color and get damaged over time, and absorb heat from the sun.

When choosing a roofer to install a green roof, look for someone with experience who specializes in green roofs. Rather than looking for a standard roofing contractor, you'll want to find a company that specifically offers green roofs. That company will have people on staff, such as a landscape architect, who understand the types of plants that thrive on rooftops.

Yes, thatched roofs are legal in most areas in the U.S., but you should always check your local building codes to ensure there are no restrictions in your particular area before installing one. Even where they are legal, you’ll usually need to apply fireproofing to the roof to keep it up to code. Keep in mind that a new roof might not increase home value as much if you choose a thatched roof, as they aren’t common in the U.S. and might not be as desirable to many home buyers.
