"Solarshield Metal Roofing was very professional from the sales team to the contractors from start to finish. Everyone I spoke to was eager to help with any questions I asked and had an understanding whether it was their department or not. They were very respectful of my property and finished in a timely manner. Once the job was finished it was like they weren’t even there aside from a stunning new roof."

"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."

"Clear understanding of what was needed and what we wanted done.. Professional crew did a great job. No hard sell, no pressure, good price. These guys understand the local market and know their stuff. You will not regret hiring them. They had the materials we wanted, in the color we wanted and since our roof was already leaking they got to it in just a couple of days. That is real service."

Roofing questions, answered by experts

A standard roof can hold a live load of about 20 pounds per square foot. However, gable roofs often have steeper-than-average slopes, so calculating their weight capacity can be challenging. If the slope of your gable roof is greater than 4:12, the live load needs to be decreased to allow for a larger dead load. Ask your roofer exactly how much weight your roof can support.

A well-maintained tile roof can last anywhere from 40 to over 100 years, with its exact lifespan depending on the material and level of care. Proper maintenance, which includes keeping the roof clean, free of debris, and performing routine repairs for any cracked tiles, is crucial for longevity. The lifespan varies significantly by tile type:

  • Clay, terracotta, and slate tiles are highly durable and can last over 100 years.

  • Concrete tiles typically last from 30 to 100 years.

  • Metal tile roofs generally last between 40 and 70 years.

  • Composite tile roofs have a lifespan of 20 to 50 years.

Be aware that maintenance for a tile roof can sometimes be more expensive than for an asphalt roof.

If the bay window extends beyond your existing roofline, you must add a roof or a small “skirt” to divert storm water and prevent water damage. The window roof can match your existing house roof, or be finished with copper or other decorative materials. Most bay windows have a roof with complete flashing regardless of their placement to prevent leaks into the home.

Furring strips (also called wood stripping) are not always necessary for a metal roof installation, but they are highly recommended and may be required by local building codes or the roofing manufacturer's specifications. There are several key reasons to use them:

  • Energy Efficiency: Furring strips, made of wood or metal, create an air gap between the metal panels and the roof deck. This acts as a thermal break, reducing heat transfer into your home and improving overall energy efficiency.

  • Moisture and Condensation Control: The air gap allows for better airflow, which helps prevent moisture buildup and condensation under the metal panels.

  • Structural Support: They provide a solid, even frame to which you can attach the metal roofing panels.

It is especially important to use furring strips when installing a metal roof over existing shingles. Without them, the roof surface can be uneven, and you will experience greater solar heat gain.

Pea-sized hail can damage a roof if it experiences hailstorms often, as it slowly causes cracks and deterioration to your shingles. Usually, one hailstorm with pea-sized hail won’t damage your roof, but if you see other damage to your car, grill, and other property, it may be worthwhile to get in touch with your insurance company and have a local roofer come out for an inspection.
