"Very well, workers were very professional. The job was completed in two days. The site was cleaned up with no trace of roofing material. The crew was amazing and the roof looks great. We would recommend Solarshield for any roofing job!"
"Caleb was very knowledgeable on what my roof needed. Caleb recommended that the whole roof be replaced and I agreed was thinking of a metal roof just put over the original and didn’t realize the extra weight that was added to that so glad he talked me out of it."
"Worked with Mike. He was very thorough and informative of the roofing situation. He immediately contacted me when deviations from the initial contract arose to see how i wanted it handled. He sent pictures of the issues and also of the before / during / and after roof installation. He has great experience and recommendations for the various struggles this job included. Great job - roof looks amaizing and should be leak-free for many years to come!"

Tar and gravel roofs last an average of 30 years, which is longer than the average lifespan of many other flat roofs. The gravel on top of the waterproof membrane helps protect the roof from UV damage and physical damage, so if you keep your roof drains clear and carry out annual roof inspections to catch issues early, you could see up to 40 years of useful life from your roof.
Technically speaking, yes, verbal agreements and “handshake deals” can be legally binding contracts that will hold up in court, but the suing party will need to be able to prove that the parties entered into the contract. Even though verbal and handshake deals can be binding, it’s risky to rely on these types of agreements for anything, including roofing projects. Always aim to get your contract in writing, and make sure it includes all terms and that you don’t agree to additional terms that don’t appear in the contract.
The common formula for measuring a roof is length x width equals square footage. Professional roofers measure the length and width of your roof, including dormers, and determine its pitch and rafter sizes. If a roof surface is a triangle, they’ll divide that square footage by two, then add up the square footage of each surface to get the total for the roof.
If you’re building the roof trusses yourself, which isn’t recommended, it will be more affordable than buying pre-built trusses. Trusses cost more because they use the same amount of material, but you’ll also be paying for the labor, as well as the delivery to your home. However, if you’re having a contractor build the roof for you, then trusses will be less expensive, as the labor costs to build roof framing on-site will cost more.
A well-maintained tile roof can last anywhere from 40 to over 100 years, with its exact lifespan depending on the material and level of care. Proper maintenance, which includes keeping the roof clean, free of debris, and performing routine repairs for any cracked tiles, is crucial for longevity. The lifespan varies significantly by tile type:
Clay, terracotta, and slate tiles are highly durable and can last over 100 years.
Concrete tiles typically last from 30 to 100 years.
Metal tile roofs generally last between 40 and 70 years.
Composite tile roofs have a lifespan of 20 to 50 years.
Be aware that maintenance for a tile roof can sometimes be more expensive than for an asphalt roof.
