Q: How long does a shingle roof last?

• <div><p>Shingle roofing can last anywhere from 15 to 50 years, depending on the type and quality of shingle, your local climate, and how well you maintain your roof. If you live in an area that sees extreme weather, like strong winds, hail storms, or hurricanes, the average life span of a shingle roof will often be on the shorter end, especially if you choose a more affordable roof shingle that isn&rsquo;t designed to persist through extreme weather. </p></div>

Q: Why do roofing permits get denied?

• <div><p>Sometimes, a local authority won&rsquo;t approve a request for a roofing permit. This may be because of incomplete documentation, unclear project plans, processing delays, or insufficient communication. There may also be discrepancies with building codes. </p></div>

Q: What is the best style of chimney cap?

• <div><p>The best style of chimney cap for a brick chimney is one that fits tightly around the brick top of the chimney. The cap should have a screen to fully enclose it to keep animals out. The best materials include stainless steel, copper, or aluminum that fit tightly or are custom fabricated for a perfect fit on your chimney.</p></div>

Q: Can I install my own chimney cap?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to install your chimney cap in some areas, but it&rsquo;s usually better to hire a professional. Before you attempt a DIY chimney cap installation, check to see if your local building department requires a permit. If it does, you should hire a professional to pull the permit and complete the work for you. Even if you don&rsquo;t need a permit, getting up on your roof is dangerous, especially if you have an aggressive pitch or slippery roof material, like metal. Hiring a chimney professional guarantees the job is done correctly and keeps you safe from injury. </p></div>

Q: How many roof vents should a house have?

• <div><p>If your roof has a vapor barrier, you will need approximately one square foot of roof vent for every 300 square feet of ceiling space. If there is no vapor barrier, the roof should have one square foot of roof vent for every 150 square feet of ceiling space. If you are not comfortable making this determination, a local roofing professional can help.</p></div>

A microburst slammed a tree branch into the siding of our home. Brian promptly ordered siding that matched our old siding perfectly. Installation didn’t take long either. End result looks fantastic! Brian has excellent communication skills too. Highly recommend!

"Erie Homes was great. Ty and Chris shared the information about roofs in a clear and precise way. I love the high quality of the roofing materials and the standards they hold their workers to when placing the roof. Mike called me each step of the way, so I was prepared when the roofing supplies showed up. I even got calls after the beautiful roof was done. Amazing job!"

"Levi came last year when no other roofers would even return calls. Ice backup caused leaking and he skillfully removed snow and ice. Inspected the roof for damage, none found. Replaced that roof with metal later in the spring. Well done, clean up was excellent. This year his brother Andy came to help remove ice and snow. They are both professional, respectful, and very hard workers. Being retired, caring for a disabled spouse, it is comforting to know I can call upon Glick Roofing Solutions to help me in an emergency. I highly recommend them to others."
