"We needed urgent service for a large opening in our roof left by another company. They came right away and were professional, knowledgeable, and honest. Saved us thousands of dollars in damage. Thank you Empire Roofing!"
"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!"
"The gentleman from tri-state roofing went on top of the roof. He measured the roof. He inspected the roof. I felt really comfortable with his evaluation of the roof. They did a good job of repairing the leaking section of the roof. I am very pleased with the results."
"I’m a mechanical engineer, and I chose Perfect Roof for my home roof replacement. My wife and I interviewed four other roofing companies before selecting Perfect Roof, and we had a great experience. Carlo from Perfect Roof provided a confident and pragmatic overview of the entire process including company history, safety, materials, people, processes, and warranty. As an engineer, I wanted to select the best materials and processes, and Perfect Roof uses a system of CertainTeed materials that are all designed to work together for an engineered solution. We verified the specified materials met quality standards, and were recognized by national specifications and tests for wind, tear, pull through, and granule adhesion. Using materials that meet such accepted standards, correlates with extended roof life when installed correctly. In addition to the quality of materials, the CertainTeed brand is a division of Saint Gobain which is well known in the engineering world for producing high quality materials used in high reliability products. When the actual materials arrived at the jobsite, everything was exactly as specified and designed to work together as a system. The crews arrived for work each day and were respectful of our property and privacy. Safe roof access was established, and the crew used ropes and harnesses to navigate the multiple roof pitches, dormers, on the house and external garage for removal and installation. The Perfect Roof team performed a thorough evaluation of our roof condition once the old roof was removed, and we were given the opportunity to also assess for damage. We observed slight damage that agreed with the Perfect Roof crew, and they proactively planned to repair the damaged areas. This amounted to a few sheets of underlayment that needed to be replaced, and there was no extra cost. After spending some time observing the shingle installation process, it was apparent that the crew performs like a high functioning team: well defined roles, helping each other, trust working together, and everyone contributing. It was positive experience working with Carlo, the crew, and the entire team from Perfect Roof."
"Robert Romea Roofing uses Owens Corning Shingles, his crew is experienced and does excellent work. Did the job in one day. They came when they said they would, cleaned up afterwards, and came back for minor finishing is a very timely fashion. Would recommend them anytime."
"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!"
"True North made the experience of putting on a new roof easy. Phil was the absolute best to work with. He explained everything that would happen in the process. The price was very fair, and the workers were polite and cleaned up the entire area when they finished. I love my new roof and would recommend True North Roofing to anyone who may be thinking of roof replacement."
"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."
White is the most energy-efficient color for roofs because solar energy reflects off white surfaces the best. Silver is also a good choice.
Whether you should choose a flat roof or a sloped roof depends on your particular situation. Flat roofs tend to be less expensive to install. However, sloped roofs have longer lifespans and stand up better to heavy snow and other inclement weather.
Keep in mind that even a flat roof needs to have a slight slope, usually around 1/2 inch for every foot. If it is completely flat, water will pool and cause damage, either from weight or leakage or rot.
Yes, capped chimneys should still be vented. Failing to vent a chimney will result in condensation buildup inside the chimney, which commonly results in mold growth. If mold begins to grow in a chimney, it frequently goes undetected and spreads quickly through the home. Mold and moisture can damage the structural integrity of your home, and exposure to mold can cause discomfort and illness in residents.
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.
Architectural shingles typically last between 20 and 30 years. While some manufacturers provide warranties for 30 to 50 years, particularly for extreme weather, achieving such a long lifespan is uncommon. The actual life of your shingles can be shorter if you live in an area prone to strong winds, hailstorms, or other severe weather. To avoid the risk of roof failure and costly water damage from leaks, it is recommended to replace your roof before it reaches the end of its expected life. Scheduling regular roof inspections every few years is a good way to assess your roof's condition and determine the best timeline for replacement.
