"I hired Sav-A-Roof to replace my over 3400 sq ft roof and replace 4 skylights. The Owner , Tom, came to give a quote. After meeting him and going over details about roof replacement, I hired them without getting other quotes. The day of the work the crew of a dozen workers came. The crew worked like a well oiled machine! Everyone knew their job and went about it professionally. They finished in 1 day!! 1 really hot July day. The crew moved patio furniture and put everything back right where it was. They cleaned up like they were never there. I would highly recommend Sav-a-Roof and I have already. A couple of neighbors came by to say how hard the crew worked and what nice a job they did. If you need a roof or to replace a roof do yourself a favor and hire Sav-A-Roof, you will not regret it."

"Mario and his staff were professional and courteous. He explained what needed to be done, along with showing us pictures he took of the flaws then quoted a reasonable price. They came on time, showed us the materials they were using and then diligently repaired the roof. They did a great job and we're very satisfied."

Roofing questions, answered by experts

The proper specifications for furring strips can vary, so you should always consult the roofing manufacturer's guidelines or your roofer. However, general recommendations are as follows:

  • Thickness: Furring strips are typically 1 to 1-1/2 inches thick, meaning standard 1-by or 2-by lumber works well. In areas with extreme winds, a thinner strip may be preferred to limit how much air can get under the roof and cause uplift. A thicker strip can add slightly more insulation but will also increase installation costs.

  • Spacing: The recommended spacing for furring strips is between 12 and 24 inches apart on center. Proper spacing is crucial for ensuring good airflow, adequate drainage, noise reduction, and better energy efficiency. The ideal spacing can depend on the roof's pitch and the specific type of metal roofing being installed.

The short answer is, yes, cedar shakes do last longer than asphalt shingles. But the long answer is, it depends on maintenance. Asphalt shingles last about 20 years, while cedar shingles typically last about 30 years with proper maintenance. If they are very well maintained and installed in an area with a mild, drier climate, they can last up to 50 years.

Yes, chimney flashing is an important element in the complex system that is your roof. Chimneys (and anything else that goes through your roof) provide a great opportunity for water damage. Good flashing prevents a lot of potential damage. 

Flapping shingles, or shingles that are lifting or curling away from your roof, can be glued back into place using roofing cement or sealant. Apply the glue underneath the shingle, then press it down firmly. You can leave a brick on top of the shingle to hold it in place overnight while the sealant dries.

Stripping existing shingles and installing a new shingle roof takes a professional one to two days, and sometimes up to three days for larger roofs. Additional safety measures necessary for steep roofs can extend the timeframe even further, as do added measures, like replacing roof decking or reinforcing your roof structure to support heavier materials like slate or clay.
