"Roof replaced in one day. Project managers went above and beyond from point of inspection of roof and work needed, making minor repairs to prevent leaks if it rained prior to scheduled day, and follow through to gutter replacements. This was the only company that recommended we contact the insurance company because of roof damage found on their inspection, thereby saving us about 75% out of pocket (never would have thought to contact the house insurer otherwise)."

"Diego from Upper Level is very knowledgeable and experienced. He came prepared with product information. Diego inspected my roof, diagnosed the hail and wind damage to my roof and walked with the insurance inspector, showing him all the damaged areas. This helped to obtain the maximum benefit to replace my roof. UL not only provided the best quote but provided the best service possible. A week after the roof permit was applied for, Upper Level received an expedited permit and was on the roof the next day replacing the roof. Upper Level arrived with a large crew and all the latest equipment needed to tear off the old roof and install the new roof in one day, with all the latest roofing products on the market. UL providing me with a 30 year manufacturer's warranty. I back up my review with over 40 years construction experience as a construction project manager The workmanship was the highest quality. Upper level did not over promise, and delivered everything they quoted. I highly recommend Upper Level Roofing for your roofing project."

Roofing questions, answered by experts

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.

Skipping the installation of a drip edge or gutter apron can lead to significant water damage. Without this component, water is more likely to seep under roofing materials or leak behind gutters, damaging the fascia, soffits, siding, and even the interior of your home, such as the attic. Over time, this moisture can cause rot, mold, and deterioration. In colder climates, a missing drip edge also increases the risk of ice dams, which can lead to expensive repairs. A drip edge is an essential part of a roof's drainage system, and some local building codes may even require its installation to protect the home from water damage.

Roofing estimates and inspections are not the same thing. Roofing inspections (whether done with a drone or by the traditional method) help you find any damage or defects on a roof. You will pay a set fee for a roofing inspection and use it to get certification or to determine whether repair or replacement is necessary. Beware of unsolicited contractors coming to your home and offering a so-called free roof inspection—these are often scams.

Roofing estimates, on the other hand, are typically free and offered by a roofing company hoping to earn your business. Some roofing estimates are performed with drones, while other companies will still opt to send people up onto the roof. Either way, the estimate is for roof repair or replacement costs the company wants you to hire them for.

The lifespan of a torch down roof depends on the number of layers installed. A single-ply system typically lasts between 10 and 15 years, while a multi-layer system with two or three layers can last from 15 to 25 years. Although a multi-layer option may be more expensive upfront, it provides a longer service life. Warranties often reflect this, with about 12 years for a one-ply system and 15 years for a two-ply system. For context, this lifespan is shorter than other common roofing materials like wood or asphalt shingles, which typically last 20 to 30 years, with high-quality versions lasting up to 50 years.

Yes, chimney flashing is an important element in the complex system that is your roof. Chimneys (and anything else that goes through your roof) provide a great opportunity for water damage. Good flashing prevents a lot of potential damage.
