What materials are needed for roofing a house?

• <div><p>Once framing is complete, you will need the following materials to roof a house:</p><ul><li><p>Wood sheathing</p></li><li><p>Drip edge, a.k.a metal flashing</p></li><li><p>Underlayment for waterproofing</p></li><li><p>Roof covering, like metal or asphalt shingles</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

What is the most common defect in a flat roof?

• <div><p>The most common defect in a flat roof is leaking. Flat roofs have minimal slope, so water pools more readily on a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/flat-roof-better-sloped-roof.htm">flat roof than on a sloped roof</a>, and the risk of the waterproof membrane failing increases with exposure. Tears and punctures from foot traffic and blown debris are other common problems, especially with single-ply roofing membranes like TPO and EPDM roofs.</p></div>

Do roofers replace trusses?

• <div><p>Yes, roofers can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-repairs-roof-trusses.htm">repair and replace roof trusses</a>. In fact, because trusses are such an important part of your roof’s structure, it’s best to have a roofing contractor deal with a damaged truss. If you try to fix the problem without the right skills or knowledge, your roof could sustain further damage or even collapse.</p></div>

Q: How long do chimney crowns last?

• <div><p>When properly maintained, chimney crowns can last 50 to 70 years. However, an improperly installed or damaged chimney crown may need replacing after 20 years or less.</p></div>

Q: Do you have to remove shingles before installing a metal roof?

• <div><p>In most cases and locations, roofs with a single layer of asphalt roofing shingles won't require roof removal before installing a metal roof. However, underlayment may be necessary on roofs with moderate shingle damage. Heavily damaged roofs or ones with multiple shingle layers will most likely require removal before a metal roof can go on.</p></div>

I have hired them for 2 stonework projects so far. Very meticulous work, high quality, reasonable price. Stone faced and pointed a 30 foot double chimney and a 4 foot pedestal for a water fountain. Again great work!

Dave and APR were very responsive to an emergency we had with our flat roof leaking in our addition to the house because of excessive snow and ice. Dave was able to adjust some scheduling to get his guys out to our house immediately where most companies we called didn't even get back to us...

Dave responded and promptly did an excellent job of replacing the vent cap. He had the new cap with him and all necessary tools. He was pleasant to work with and the cost was reasonable.

"I am sure that all positive reviews for this company are fake. Nothing that was promised to me was delivered. My siding project is still ongoing for over 1 month. Was told that it would be done in week. Had one rain day. They have system like this: 1) sales person who never installed anything he will promise you things that obviously are not true, 2) crew that is subcontracted but not Gunner, mine was driving for over 2 hours away, 3) person who oversees the project but has little control over anything, no supply, doesn't know the crew, crew does not listen to him, main office does not listen to him, 4) main office does not reply to you. They just tell me to talk to project manager who has no control. So you understand that if there are any issue you are on your own. Quality or work is not good. Many times I had to point to the crew what's wrong, planks are broken yet they were still installing it, caulking is done they way that I can do it better, they cut wires to awning etc"
