"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!"
"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!"
"Keystone Roof solutions was a lifesaver, while everybody else came out with estimates that were completely high unrealistic. Keystone offered a very affordable option for our roof replacement needs. They were also very helpful , doing extra work for a very reasonable price.
They replaced our roof in a matter of 3 days and kept us posted with every single detail during the process. Don't go Anywhere else."
"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. "
"The drop down selections do not cover the scope of the job that Murray and his crew led by Jose did for us. We started out with a roof replacement, where the old roofing materials were removed, damaged wood was discovered and we decided to have the whole roof re-sheeted before the new shingles were laid. Because the covid pandemic affected the available stock on building materials, we did have to make a last minute change to the color selection for the shingles. Murray made a second trip out to our home with samples to make sure we were able to see the actual sample in person, as he understood that this was an important decision not made lightly. We were most happy with the finished roof. We also had elected to have the old aluminum siding replaced, along with the soffit, fascia, gutters and downspouts. While there was a slight delay in being able to obtain these materials, also because of the pandemic, our job was scheduled for this week. The great crew had the old siding removed in no time, and were able to start in with applying the new siding by the early afternoon. The very next day, they came out and finished the entire project efficiently and beautifully, and made sure that all debris was cleaned up. They are very skilled at what they do! After 37 years, we now have what looks like a new home, and couldn't be more elated. After what we all dealt with in 2020, it is a great start to what will hopefully be a better year for everyone. Thank you to Murray, Jose, and the great crew of guys who made this dream a reality for us."
"Absolutely wonderful!!! Their assessments and recommendations were well documented and presented. The entire construction process was outstanding. They always have a LIVE person answering their phone and are incredibly responsive. We initially called regarding an ice-jam leak and they had a technician out within an hour at no charge! Remedial work on J-channel caulking was great. We asked for a complete assessment of our roof, leading to the complete installation."
Yes, replacing a roof is always a good investment if the current one is in poor condition. Not only will it preserve the structural integrity of the home, but it can also add value at the time of sale. The average return on investment for a new roof is between 48% and 61%. Prospective buyers are also more likely to purchase a home with a recently replaced roof since that means they won’t need to worry about that expense in the near future.
This will depend on your existing roof to some degree, but it’s common to raise a roof 4 to 8 feet. The exact amount you can raise is subject to the existing structure. For most homes with average roof slopes—20 to 45 degrees—you can raise the roof around 5 feet.
While two-layer torch down roofs are easier to install than three-layer roofing, it is best not to DIY the installation. Torch down roofs require expert knowledge of the application process to get it right the first time and prevent leaks or poor craftsmanship, not to mention that roof work can be dangerous.
EPDM roofing is a single-ply roofing material made of rubber, and a professional will install it in a single sheet and seal the seams. Built-up roofing (BUR) consists of multiple layers made from asphalt, adhesives, and roofing felt. A professional will construct the layers of BUR on-site. EPDM is easier to repair and has better resistance to extreme temperatures, while BUR is more fire-resistant and affordable.
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.
