"It’s never a good time for your roof to start leaking, but if it’s going to happen, you can only hope to find a roofer like Mighty Dog Roofing of Rhode Island. We bought our house a couple years ago with the knowledge that we’d need a new roof soon. Sure enough, this spring, rain started coming in through our bathroom ceiling. We put a bucket out, and started making phone calls. One of those was to Mighty Dog Roofing of Rhode Island. Within a couple hours, they were at our house, placing a temporary patch, and talking us through the work we’d need done. They sent up a drone to take pictures, and peeked into the attic. It was the beginning of a truly exceptional relationship. Here are three reasons we loved working with Mighty Dog: Patience! The guys never got tired of answering our endless questions, or explaining the intricacies of roofing materials in laymen’s terms. We were never made to feel rushed, or silly for wanting to know more. Education! You know what we didn’t know anything about? Roofs! You know what we know a ton about now? ROOFS! Jonathan and Andrew spent a lot of time talking with us about ventilation, snow dams, shingles, chimneys, gutters…I could go on. But they made sure we understood the project, and could make informed decisions about it. They love what they do, and it shows. Competence! They know their stuff. They were well-prepared. They shared realistic timelines. They used great materials. (Our Owen Corning shingles look so gooood!) At all times, they showed skill and enthusiasm for our roofing job. And one more big reason to love them?! Care! Big home repairs are a vulnerable moment, but Mighty Dog took the fear out of the process. They communicated generously. They showed up for the install with an amazing team. They spoke with neighbors on our crowded street to make sure that no one was inconvenienced by vehicles or errant nails. It’s one thing to be able to install a roof, and another to make your customers (and their neighbors!) feel like a valued part of the process. Highly recommend Mighty Dog Roofing of Rhode Island!"

"Replacing a roof is not cheap - and it’s not exactly the most fun thing to throw a lot of money at (versus, say, a new bathroom) . AEM (Kevin B. in particular) made this not only painless, but even pleasant. We got three bids - Kevin B. from AEM was the only one that bothered to actually visit our house, meet with us and explain the process. The other bids were just emailed in, apparently using some imaging system that let them measure our rooftop. AEMs bid was not the cheapest of the three, but it was absolutely competitive with the other two - and, because of Kevin’s walking us through the process, we felt much more comfortable having them do the project. Communication as we were getting closer to the day was very good (I work at home - so I knew I’d have to take the day off given the noise). There were a few unavoidable weather delays - Kevin always kept me informed. On the actual day, the team was here early - as was Kevin - and the whole process was done in a day. Something really cool - they had to get into our yard through our neighbor’s back yard (with his permission, of course!) - as a gesture, they raked his leaves! They also cleaned our gutters while they were up there doing the roof. After the fact, the cleanup was perfect - our back yard was spotless! Kevin and his colleague also did some great work repairing our soffits. Anyhow - I don’t think we can recommend AEM highly enough - they care for their customers - and made this as painless as possible. We are very happy with the results. Thanks Kevin and team!"

With over 70 years of experience in home improvement, Long Home Products is the industry-leading company you can trust to give you peace of mind. We are a locally owned and operated company that values honesty and integrity and treats your home as if it were our own. We are experts in all aspects of roofing, bathroom, window and door projects. We pride ourselves on the quality of our work as well as our commitment to outstanding results. We look forward to building lasting relationships and guarantee your satisfaction!

"July 2023 hired company to replace the roof. I noticed that vinyl in areas along the roof edges where it meets the roof was missing or displaced. I suspect because of movements during the roof replacement, that they were not securely fasten after the roof replacement. I did not have this problem before. Contacted LONG HOME PRODUCTS by email and telephone calls several times without any positive response to address my concerns. I was told that the product and workmanship would be professionally completed and guaranteed for 30+ years. I was assured that I would not have any immediate issues with my roof. THIS HAS NOT BEEN MY EXPERIENCE. December of 2024, after heavy rains and winds I found several displaced roof shingles from my new roof on my lawn. I again contacted the company with photos as evidence. In January 2025 I had my roof inspected and was horrified by the video images I received. There was image of a significant area of the roof where the roof shingles/covering were missing and clearly was not nailed down and installed correctly. A large area was exposed. (video evidence available). I AM STILL WAITING FOR LONG HOME PRODUCTS TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES despite promises to return to residence. Unprofessional, workmanship of roof installation by LONG HOME PRODUCTS. I have serious reservations that they can deliver professional roof installation after what I have seen and experienced! I am still waiting. Customer service is poor. Website does not provide for ability to access a company representative that can address issues or follow up with consumers. Focus is on sales. This might be deliberate. No support after project really. Focus only on finance only and not customer satisfaction and well being. Consumers should make sure they complete a LONG research before considering this company as "things are not always what they seem." It is frustrating and I am continuing to pay on a loan for services I did not receive!"

"I recommend this wonderful company without any hesitation. I first contacted Wood Trades LLC seeking a deck quote in September 2024, and John and Karin came out the very next day. From day one, John and Karin provided impeccable service. I cannot say enough wonderful things about their communication, transparency, honestly, and reliability. All current insurance/contractor licenses were provided up front, and any change in cost was documented through clear contracts. In addition, they patiently navigated me through a difficult permitting process from start to finish. Once the work was started, I had a gorgeous new deck in just over one week. I cannot thank this company enough for gaining, and more importantly, maintaining my trust through this project. I certainly look forward to working with Wood Trades again, and highly recommend their services to anyone seeking high quality results from a wonderful company. Exceeded expectations!"

Roofing questions, answered by experts

How long it takes to replace a roof can vary, but most roof replacements take anywhere from one to 12 days . The crew size, roof size, and complexity can affect the cost of your project, especially if your roofing contractor charges by the hour. Metal roofs generally take longer than asphalt shingles, wood, slate, concrete, and tile, averaging between seven and 14 days. This is because metal is more difficult to work with than most other materials, excluding slate and other heavy materials.

Most architectural shingles last for between 20 and 30 years in areas that see strong winds or hailstorms, and many come with manufacturer warranties for specific extreme weather that last for between 30 and 50 years, though this long of a life span is rare. Given that homeowners usually upgrade to architectural shingles in areas that come with a higher risk of roof damage, scheduling a roof inspection to determine your roof’s remaining life is a good idea.

Some homes, like those with flat roofs, may not have eaves at all. Some contemporary-style homes also lack eaves, although many may have abbreviated eaves to divert water and protect the walls and foundation. Homes without eaves often have specific types of gutters affixed directly to the edge of the roof to provide adequate drainage.

You only need to replace a roof before moving if it’s extremely old or has more than just a couple minor damages. For instance, leaks, uplifted shingles, or obvious holes are issues no one wants to deal with right when they move in, and will automatically repel potential buyers that might have otherwise been interested.

Once framing is complete, you will need the following materials to roof a house:

  • Wood sheathing

  • Drip edge, a.k.a metal flashing

  • Underlayment for waterproofing

  • Roof covering, like metal or asphalt shingles
