Get matched with top roofers in Watson, NY

Q: Do roofers need to be licensed?

• <div><p>Many states require roofers to be licensed, and some states don&rsquo;t mandate licensing. You can use Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to check if a roofing company holds the proper licensing for your area. A licensed roofing contractor will provide reliable roof installation service, leading to a reduced risk of leaks in the future, which can be expensive to repair. Paying more for a licensed roofer upfront often means paying less over time.</p></div>

Q: How do I repair flapping shingles?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Can I use my home’s square footage to order roofing materials?

• <div><p>No, you can&rsquo;t use your home&rsquo;s square footage. You have to calculate your roof&rsquo;s square footage, and then you may have to convert your square footage measurement to correspond with how the roofing material is measured. For instance, some roofing is sold in &ldquo;squares,&rdquo; which equals the total square footage of the roof divided by 100. Shingles are sold in bundles that may not correspond to the number of squares you need. Metal roofing is sold as sheets, so determine the amount of square feet each panel will cover and then divide the total square footage by the coverage area.</p></div>

Q: Do ice dams mean I need a new roof?

• <div><p>No, ice dams aren&rsquo;t a standalone sign that you need a new roof. Ice dams can form on new roofs, as issues with the insulation inside your home are often the underlying problem. However, if you notice signs of roof damage from ice dams, you might need to hire a local roofer for repair or partial replacement.</p></div>

Q: What is the easiest roof to build?

• <div><p>The easiest type of roof to build is a shed-style or lean-to roof, which features a single sloping plane from one side of the building to the other. Unlike a gable roof with two sides meeting in the middle, a shed roof's single slope makes the construction process more straightforward. The rafters are typically single pieces of wood that span the distance, often without the need for additional supports.</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."
