"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."
"I am happy with the service provided by MHI Roofing. Very professional team did the roof and gutters replaced in 2 days. Thanks Cam, Caleb and the Team! Highly recommend!"
"I can’t recommend these guys enough, as they did an excellent job. I have to start by saying I had a different contracting company come out to inspect my roof for a leak in my roof. The first company stated they couldn’t find the leak, so they quoted me to basically have that whole section of the roof replaced, which was rather pricy. I needed to get a second opinion, and boy am I glad I chose M&D for this task. Mario was able to find the leaks right away, gave me an excellent price, and was able to jump on the roof and have it repaired right away. In addition, he took care of cleaning out my gutters, fixing my one downspout, and trimming around the house where it was pressing against the gutter on the one end of the roof. Again, these guys need a great job, and easy to work with to solve the problem."
"A professional job was done. The whole process went as agreed in the contract. The whole roof was done in one day. The crew was diligent in there work. I would recommend them to others thinking about a roof replacement. I didn't have a metal roof installed and opted for conventional shingles."
"Mike contacted me within a couple hours of requesting a quote and set up a time convenient for me. Angelo came and inspected the roof and showed pics of the issues. The roofing work was completed the same day of the quote. This is a customer service oriented company."
"Roberts Roofing provided top quality roof repair work, while taking great care not to damage the fairly brittle clay roof tiles on my 68-year-old home. They showed up to replace a single cracked tile, but for the same quoted price, replaced a whole section of surrounding tiles to make sure that my roof leak was effectively addressed. They also offer an amazing 40-year warranty on their work."
"Johnny is very professional and easy to talk with. He explained what he would be doing with my roof for repairs and gives updates along the way. Prices are reasonable and I was charged what I was quoted, even with a surprise minor repair in the mix. Looking forward to the next time I have a project that needs a professional. Thanks again Johnny!"
A shingle roof costs between $7,500 and $24,000 in total. The exact cost depends on the size of your roof and the number of bundles of shingles required. A bundle of shingles typically costs between $40 and $60, though contractors might be able to get a lower price than you’d get buying from a local hardware store.
When installed and maintained properly, a cedar shake roof should last up to 60 years. Severe weather and high winds will damage your roof, reducing its life span. Expect a shorter life span if the roofer didn't use top-grade material, didn’t have cedar shake expertise, didn’t create the proper ventilation, or didn’t use the correct fasteners. Keeping up with maintenance will help it last longer. It’s also a good idea to get roof inspections on a regular basis to help spot repairs before they become major issues.
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.
Asphalt roofs provide better insulation than metal roofs, but that doesn’t always mean that asphalt roofs are better for reducing heating and cooling bills. In hotter climates, metal roofs will usually be better for home efficiency because the material reflects more sunlight and reduces solar heat gain. In colder climates, asphalt roofs are sometimes superior in terms of efficiency because they introduce more solar heat gain to your home and have greater insulating capabilities. However, metal roofs installed with an air gap can provide similar levels of insulation.
There are several pros and cons of flat roofs. One disadvantage of flat roofs is that you lose potential attic space because it's flat. Flat roofs tend to pool water and because they lack an angle, any leak in the roof—usually due to a bad seal—has the potential to let in a lot of water. They don’t work well in climates with snow. Flat roofs are also structurally weaker than sloped roofs.
