"I had a significant roof leak that needed immediate attention. Mr. Reno fit me into his schedule very quickly The roof repair was done the day before a snowstorm which would have caused even greater leaking, had the roof not been repaired. Mr. Reno willingly provided me with photos of the work as it was being done so I could feel confident the job was being done correctly. I am very pleased with the workmanship."
"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."
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.
You can install a spray foam roof over shingles, but it may compromise the roof’s protective qualities or shorten its lifespan. Before installing a new roof, ask a qualified roofer if your existing roof needs to be removed before installing a spray foam roof so you ensure your home has quality, long-lasting protection.
Some people prefer to use connectors consisting of galvanized metal to replace the birdsmouth cuts on the rafter board. Common names for these metal pieces include hurricane ties and variable-pitch connectors. Making birdsmouth cuts is more cost-effective than purchasing these connectors for each rafter. However, because making large birdsmouth cuts to accommodate extra-wide exterior walls can weaken the rafter, a connector may be the better option in some cases.
The purchase price of 3-tab shingles is less than that of other material varieties, such as architectural shingles. However, 3-tab shingles generally last far fewer years than even the least expensive architectural ones. Other roofing types, such as metal or clay, also cost more than 3-tab shingles. However, if you plan to stay in your home for many years, the long-term cost of any of these options can compete with 3-tabs because of their longevity.
The ideal color for your roof depends entirely on your preference. If you’re looking for something classic, gray, brown, and black will rarely steer you wrong. A roof with a pop of color like green or red can be sophisticated and elegant when paired with the right colored siding. Decide what vibe you’re looking for and choose a color palette that suits you.
