"The Roof and Gutters look terrific, they were done tearing off and replacing the roof in 1 day, I only came across 5 nails they missed in getting picked up. The Garage Door looks good however the molding around the door was supposed to be white and they used Tan, also they use a subcontractor for garage doors. The Shutters were put on crooked and did not match the original ones in size, upon a call in they came back out and refitted some of them, but they are still off and not flush. My recommendation is if all you need is a roof and gutters you cant beat them for the price and expertise, however if you are looking for shutters please look elsewhere."

"Long Roofing went above and beyond when installing our roof and gutter. The job turned out more difficult than we thought it would be but Long Roofing made me feel comfortable and reassured that they would fix everything. Everyone involved from the salesperson to customer service listened to our needs and treated me with respect. The roof looks amazing. I don't want to get into price, but even though you may get someone less expensive, using Log Roofing was well worth a little extra cost"

"Robert came out to look at my roof after I asked for bids. Of the people that came to look and work up a bid for me I chose Robert because he was the most profesional of everyone I saw. When he came to look at it he came in a company truck with ladder racks and even had a worker with him. Of the people that came he was only one that got on the roof and looked over everything, took pictures so that when he was explaining to me what needed done he could show me the pics so I knew he was being honest, he fixed the corner of my roof that was damaged then replacing the other shingles that had blown off. After that he sprayed the whole roof with nanotechnology that would ensure that the roof could last another ten years without needing to replace it. I would definitly use them again."

Roofing questions, answered by experts

It’s possible for a roofing estimate to change after the initial assessment, but in most cases, it shouldn’t. There’s always the risk that something unexpected will happen that causes prices to go up, like discontinued materials or your roofer discovering previously hidden damage to your decking when ripping off the old roof. However, experienced roofers should account for these circumstances in their initial estimates. Roofing contracts are binding, so always check your contract for language about how and why your numbers could change.

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.

When installed and maintained properly, a cedar shake roof should last up to 60 years. Severe weather and high winds will damage your roof, reducing its life span. Expect a shorter life span if the roofer didn't use top-grade material, didn’t have cedar shake expertise, didn’t create the proper ventilation, or didn’t use the correct fasteners. Keeping up with maintenance will help it last longer. It’s also a good idea to get roof inspections on a regular basis to help spot repairs before they become major issues.

The length of time you can leave a leaking roof before it causes damage will vary greatly depending on a variety of factors. The best approach when it comes to roof leaks is to play it safe and fix it as soon as possible, whether you take the DIY route or hire a roofing professional to inspect, diagnose, and repair the problem.

It’s always a good idea to have a lawyer review any legally binding contract before signing, including roofing contracts. Most contracts have straightforward language that’s easy to understand, but getting advice from an attorney before signing could save you from being locked into a contract you don’t want to move forward with. Having a lawyer review your contract can also help protect you if your roofing professional defaults on their side of the agreement.
