"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

Copper roofing works well in all kinds of climates, but it’s ideal in humid climates because it naturally repels fungus, moss, and algae. This makes it one of the best roofing options for Cape Cod homes in the Northeast, as well as homes in the humid southern states and snowy northern states. That said, copper is vulnerable to thermal expansion. If you live in a climate that has extreme temperature changes, your contractor will need to consider this during the installation process.

Metal roofs have a bad reputation for being loud, even if that's not necessarily true—it's usually only thin tin or sheet metal roofs that are loud during storms. Stone coating adds a layer to the metal that severely cuts down on any noise from rain. In many ways, stone-coated steel roofs are quieter than your average, run-of-the-mill asphalt shingle roof.

Clay tile roofing is common for traditional villas, while flat roofs are more standard for modern villa homes. Clay tile roofs are long-lasting, require little maintenance, and are great for warmer climates. Flat roofs are usually low-cost, energy-efficient, and allow for rooftop gardens. 

A roof replacement can take anywhere from one to 14 days. For most homes, a full replacement that includes tearing off old materials takes about one to two days, though the average project can last up to 12 days. The exact timeline depends on several factors, including the roof's size and complexity, the type of roofing material, the crew size, and weather conditions. Certain materials take longer to install; for example, metal roofs can take seven to 14 days because the material is more difficult to work with than asphalt shingles, wood, or tile. A re-roofing project, where new shingles are installed over old ones, can take half the time or less. It's also important to factor in the time needed to obtain necessary permits. A professional roofing contractor will typically complete the job faster than a DIY approach.

Winter is the least expensive time of year to replace a roof due to decreased demand. However, it’s not an ideal time to replace your roof, as there are numerous factors that can inhibit the work, including shorter days, snow and ice, and cold temperatures.
