"William Braun is a pure professional. Friendly and thoughtful customer service. He fixed a patch of my roof shingles that blew away in a wind storm. He made time to come out earlier than planned to ensure I had a fixed roof before a big snow. I will use him again for sure. Highly recommend."

Customers say: Quick response

"Alvin did an excellent job replacing my roof. He was polite and smiled frequently. Went over everything he was doing for the roof repair with my family. He and his team found 3 baby squirrels in the soffits. He put them in a box. Momma squirrel did come back and get her babies! I would recommend Zook Roofing and Beyond to anyone who needs work on their roof. He is a skilled roofer."

"I had a very good experience working with Dakota Allen and TEC. He was very knowledgeable and helped walked us through the process of getting a new roof. Dakota made multiple visits during the process to be sure things ran smoothly. If you need a new roof or siding, I'd recommend going with TEC as they are well established and trustworthy."

Roofing questions, answered by experts

You can install solar panels on a metal roof, but it will require some additional thought and care versus a traditional asphalt shingle roof. That’s because heat dissipates off a metal roof differently than asphalt or wood, so you may need to space the panels further from the roof. However, a pro can help you with the details and provide a safe and effective installation.

The lifespan of asphalt shingles is typically between 15 and 30 years, depending on the type of shingle and other factors. Standard 3-tab shingles have the shortest lifespan, around 10 to 15 years. Architectural shingles last longer, averaging 20 to 25 years. Luxury or designer asphalt shingles are the most durable, with a lifespan of 40 years or more. Climate, installation quality, and regular maintenance also play a significant role in how long your shingles will last. Signs that they need replacement include granule loss, bald spots, and roof leaks.

Once framing is complete, you will need the following materials to roof a house:

  • Wood sheathing

  • Drip edge, a.k.a metal flashing

  • Underlayment for waterproofing

  • Roof covering, like metal or asphalt shingles

Yes, installing a new metal or tin roof can increase your home's value. A metal roof's longevity and durability are major selling points for prospective buyers, as it means they likely won't have to worry about a roof replacement. These roofs can last 40 to 80 years, which is significantly longer than traditional asphalt roofs.

In terms of return on investment (ROI), homeowners may see an increase in home value of around $7,000 to $8,000, which can represent 60% to 70% of the installation cost. Another way to measure ROI is per square foot, which can range from $3.00 to $8.40, with higher returns in areas where a durable roof is particularly beneficial.

Many insurance policies will not cover a roof with two layers of shingles. An additional layer of shingles increases the risk of various kinds of damage, and insurers typically won’t pay claims on a roof with an overlay. Adding a layer of shingles may even jeopardize your insurance coverage entirely, so check your policy to ensure you stay within coverage guidelines.
