"A good chunk of our roof blew off during the summer of 2020 during COVID-19. We were so grateful that DSK Roofing was there to help us at every step. The roof replacement was done in one day and on budget. Clean-up after the roof replacement was on the same day too. We have yet to locate a single nail around our home. Highly recommended."
"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."
"The work was completed by early afternoon, the crew worked quickly, and the roof looks great! The crew did a good job cleaning up the yard and the driveway."
"They were very professional and did an excellent job. When they left, you would not have known they were here, except we had a new roof. They made sure everytning was right and replaced some bad underlayment sheets of plywood. Very pleased with the job they did."
"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"
"I couldnà ¢à  à  t be more excited about my new roof. The install went flawlessly. My roof was finished on the same day. The project manager Tri provided great communication throughout the process."
"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."
Cool roofs last for roughly 15 to 30 years. You can install a cool roof coating over an existing roof, but keep in mind that this might not be worth it if your roof is near the end of its life expectancy. If your roof isn’t near the end of its life, adding a cool roof coating can make your existing roof more energy-efficient and help it last longer, so you’ll have to weigh the pros and cons.
After you've chosen the best roofer for you, schedule an inspection and review the final contract. Your roofing company should be able to provide options for scheduling the work and a potential timeline for obtaining the permits and starting the job. Remember to always request everything in writing before work begins.
Metal roofs have a reputation for being noisy, but with proper installation and adequate insulation, they are not significantly noisier than shingle roofs. The type of metal used can affect the sound level; for instance, steel roofs are typically noisier than slate or asphalt tiles but quieter than aluminum. While some people find the sound of rain on a metal roof pleasant, you can take steps to reduce the noise. Installing a thicker underlayment, adding insulation between the roof and the house, or using acoustic tiles can effectively muffle the sound. The gauge (thickness) of the metal roofing can also contribute to sound dampening.
The most important thing to remember when laying shingles is to work from the bottom of the slope to the top. This leaves you with a top overlap that directs runoff from one row to the next until it reaches the eave for disposal. You should also make sure you follow the manufacturer's instructions and the local building code for nailing patterns and frequency so all of your hard work stays put through varying weather conditions.
If you live on the West Coast or anywhere with the threat of wildfires, you likely want to take steps to fireproof your home. Besides waterproofing and life span, rubber roofing also is noted for being fire resistant. Consult a professional roofer for details on what type of roofing would be best for you if fire resistance is a priority.
