"So far, my experience is with Curt Dalton, the representative. It has been excellent. I feel we have met a new friend. We know about him and his family, and he knows about ours. We wanted an assessment of our roof, only. But Curt showed us how we could fit it into our fixed budget. We enjoyed his visit so much, that he knows that he can stop by any time he is in Gold Hill for a cup of coffee and a visit. I hope he does well."
"I called them since I needed to have a plum tree trimmed back. The tree was bent over from the winter snow and was holding my motorcycle hostage. When I called it was just for a quote on how much the work would cost. They were in the neighborhood and stopped by. When they did they rescued the motorcycle while here talking about the quote. I was very impressed with the immediate service and I have already asked them to come back to do some more tree work."
"Showed up very promptly both times they came. Provided great customer service. Finished the job quickly and efficiently. They called me the next morning after a rain to see if there were any leaks in the roof. No leaks. Good job!"
"Their roofing expert and a helper worked this in during some very cold winter weather, and had the entire job done in about a week. They obviously knew their craft. Rocket threw in a modest winter discount to get the job. We were impressed from the beginning with their grasp of the problem and suggestions for correction, and are happy with the results. We will gladly hire Rocket for additional fix-ups. "
"I needed roofing repair not pressure washing and this company did not do that job. They were referred to me in error. The gentleman that I spoke to was very nice and gave me ideas of where I should go from there."

"I am very satisfied with the windows in my home. The two window installers Travis and Heath were amazing. They installed all of my windows in 6 hours. I cannot say enough about these two. Not only their hard work but both Travis and Heath were so pleasant and professional. They are a real asset to this company. I am very happy with this entire project. -Pat."
Yes, it’s possible to replace drip edge flashing without removing shingles, but it’s not a good idea. You’ll have to lift the bottom shingles up to remove the old drip edge, install the new material, and then lay the lifted roofing material over the new drip edge. Bending roof shingles can cause damage, and if you have ongoing issues with roof leaks that prompt drip edge replacement, it’s a good idea to consider a roof and drip edge replacement to avoid ongoing issues.
The best way to know if your roof can support solar panels is to hire a structural engineer. They’ll look at your roof and approve the design of your solar panel system or suggest changes. The best roofing for solar panels is made from strong materials like asphalt shingles and metal, but tile and gravel will work. Softer materials like thatch or temporary structures are not a good fit.
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.
Whether or not the terms of your roofing estimate are negotiable depends on the contractor. Some professional roofers will be willing to budge on labor fees to some extent, while others will simply walk away from the potential work rather than lower their fees. In most cases, it’s best not to negotiate the terms, as lower labor charges could lead to your contractor cutting corners. Material costs aren’t negotiable, but you could purchase them yourself to try to save on delivery fees and markups.
DIY is not recommended, as slate requires specialized handling and proper underlayment installation for durability.
