"They were reasonably priced. Got us on their schedule quickly. Replaced our entire roof in two days. Quick to respond to messages. Cleaned up after themselves. Roof looks great!"
"They were the lowest bidder, but bid the job based on my description and pictures without actually seeing the roof (it s like many others in the area). It took a while to finally get on the schedule due to rain pushing back other jobs, which is understandable. The work took about 90 minutes for 2 people, replaced flashing and several slates. They said the roof was in bad shape, which didn t give me a good feeling that the leak was fixed, and would provide an estimate for a new roof - after putting on the new flashing. I guess I feel like if they had seen the roof before the bid, we might have had a different job. Still waiting for a substantial rain to see if leak has stopped. I ll update if I m able."
"New Look Home Exteriors recently finished putting on a new roof for me. I received around 6 quotes from roofing contractors and landed on these guys because of how thorough and professional they were. The communication through the entire process was top notch. The roof looks fantastic as well. If you need a new roof, look no further!"
"MHI exceeded expectations! Had a minor leak during strong winds, which indicated our original roof urgently required replacement. Recommended by a coworker, MHI proved exceptional. Transparent throughout, they provided ample visuals, expertly addressed queries, and detailed the roofing process, our roof's condition, available solutions, and financing options. Communication was seamless, accommodating calls or texts. They completed the roof and gazebo replacement in just one day. For comprehensive service, choose MHI. I wholeheartedly endorse them and am willing to share my positive experience with anyone interested."
"Everything went well, very impressed by how effective and professional the crew was . They were on our roof by 8am and pulling out our driveway at 2:30 . Couldn’t even tell they were here except that we had a brand new roof. Definitely would recommend them"
"Everyone from sales personnel, roofing estimators, installation technicians and management did an awesome job. They were professional, easy to work with and efficient. They identified issues affecting my roof installation and offered cost-effective remedies. They respected our home making sure the cleanup interior & exterior was done to our satisfaction. OUTSTANDING!!!!"
"A professional job was done. The whole process went as agreed in the contract. The whole roof was done in one day. The crew was diligent in there work. I would recommend them to others thinking about a roof replacement. I didn't have a metal roof installed and opted for conventional shingles."
"PPromptly offered a thorough, accurate and reasonable estimate for the roof. Despite weather fluctuations and the holidays, they were out almost every day, going through the long process of stripping off the old slate on a 3 story house. Kept me informed of their progress, took care of tenants' concerns and did a fantastic job on the roof. Hope to use them for the next job. "
You can put a green roof on a regular house with a compatible slope. Green roofs are best suited for flat or gently sloped roofs, as steeply pitched roofs can make the installation and maintenance of the green roof challenging. Flat roofs can support the weight of the soil and plants and ensure effective drainage.
The roof overhang, also known as the eaves, does count as part of the roof’s square footage because it must be covered with the roofing material. The overhang is one of the reasons why you can’t base your roof's square footage on the square footage of the house. The roof square footage must also account for the pitch of the roof as well as the eaves.
As with any roofing material, there are benefits and drawbacks to consider before installing roll roofing. On the plus side, roll roofing is budget-friendly, lightweight, and comparatively easy to install. It is also ideal for low-sloped roofs and lasts around 10 years. The cons of roll roofing, however, include its low durability compared to roofing materials, restricted color choices, and low ROI.
Pros:
Low-cost
Lightweight
Cut to size
Easy and quick installation
Designed for low-sloped roofs
Waterproofs your roof for an average of 10 years
Easy to purchase and transport
Cons:
Less durable than asphalt shingles
More prone to cracks and tears
Short life span
Not as many color or style choices
Not as aesthetically pleasing as shingles, wood, or clay tiles
Not preferred for a higher home resale value
Walking on an asbestos roof can pose a risk. Asbestos roofing materials can become brittle over time, increasing the chances of them breaking or releasing fibers when stepped on. Additionally, walking on an asbestos roof without proper precautions can cause further damage to the material. If possible, avoid touching an asbestos roof in any way and consult with a professional about removing and replacing the roof.
A gambrel roof and a mansard roof are similar in that they are both hipped roofs, meaning they have double slopes—one steep and one more gradual above the steep slope. The difference is that a gambrel roof has a double slope on only two sides of the structure, whereas a mansard roof has a double slope on all four sides.
