"R&R Roofing replaced the roofing at home this September, 2021. Richard Rossi toured the site with me and clearly detailed the work to be done and the reasons for the specific choices and materials. He answered my questions without prevarication. The work was scheduled the week before, and was started and completed on the scheduled day. The roof looks great and easily passed its first rainy day. The crew were extremely conscientious not only about installing the roofing, but also in their consideration for the gardens, grounds, and driveway. There was no damage to the flowerbeds or to the lawn. There was not a nail or shred of roofing material or its packaging anywhere on the site when they left. R&R Roofing installed the previous roofing 23 years ago. I expect this new one to last just as long."
"Very prompt and organized. Andrea came out during the day while they were working on the roof to check on progress and to see if there were any questions. She also followed up by email to see if we had any questions and was very transparent on the extra cost of having to replace some of the decking. Will definitely use them again in the future if need be!"
"Our roof was damaged by wind storm in April and N.E Building and Restoration was recommended by a friend. We are so happy with the new roof. Dave is a man of his word. He delivered what he promised , project was completed on time and within budget. The crew did a great job with the roof and clean up, very neat. Pleasure working with this company. Highly recommend them."

"David Faraone from Cedar Valley Exteriors succeeded in having Insurance pay for our roof!!! Last year,…I made the mistake of choosing a “second rate” roof company that tried and failed to approve our roof through Insurance. After the “other” roof company let me down and insurance rejected me,… I decided to have David help. He met our insurance adjuster and we had a FULL ROOF REPLACEMENT AWARD within a few days. Experience matters,… call David Faraone at Cedar Valley Exteriors for ANY storm dmg, or water damage issues. They are #1… Antero G."
"From start to finish it was a pleasure doing business with them. From my initial visit with Beau to the final walk around I was greatly impressed by their work ethic. I cant say enough about how swiftly the install crew went about their job they had 3/4 of the roof stripped and completed in one day. Also the cleanliness of the job site at the end of the work day. I would select them again to replace my roof except now it is good for 50 years. Overall I give them an A++++ they helped take a great deal of the anxiety out of such a major purchase."
As with any roofing material, there are benefits and drawbacks to consider before installing roll roofing. On the plus side, roll roofing is budget-friendly, lightweight, and comparatively easy to install. It is also ideal for low-sloped roofs and lasts around 10 years. The cons of roll roofing, however, include its low durability compared to roofing materials, restricted color choices, and low ROI.
Pros:
Low-cost
Lightweight
Cut to size
Easy and quick installation
Designed for low-sloped roofs
Waterproofs your roof for an average of 10 years
Easy to purchase and transport
Cons:
Less durable than asphalt shingles
More prone to cracks and tears
Short life span
Not as many color or style choices
Not as aesthetically pleasing as shingles, wood, or clay tiles
Not preferred for a higher home resale value
Roofers can install roof vents. Updating, upgrading, or simply replacing your roof's existing vents is common when installing a new roof. If you're looking to upgrade your ventilation system with a powered version, a local HVAC professional can also help with the task. If adding roof vents to your home is necessary while installing an addition or during other renovation work, your contractor will handle or hire out the venting work.
If a home isn’t properly winterized, the pipes can freeze and burst, causing flooding and massive property damage. It can also leave your house susceptible to pests, which can infest it and cause significant damage. Winterizing a home can prevent many potential issues and save you money on costly repairs.
The size of the dumpster will determine how many squares of shingles can fit in a dumpster. You can place between 4 to 20 squares of shingles in most standard containers.
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.
