"After serving in the military, I have been in the construction business for nearly a decade. I have worked with a lot of contractors and many of them I wouldn't trust working on my home. Nate is not one like that. I would have him work on my own home in an instant. Nate is a hard worker, honest, and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him for any of your building or remodeling needs."

"If you have exterior damage to your house,this is the company you need to hire. They replaced my roof,gutters,garage door and siding on the back of my house. Everyone that came out to do a job for me did a good job and answered all my questions that I had for them. The product quality is the best you can get and the price was equal to my insurance companies estimate. My shingles were delivered on time and the crew showed up and got the job done, gutters were done next,then the garage door and after that the siding . All was done on the day I was told it would happen and my yard was cleaned up and trash hauled away. You won't go wrong by hiring this company,they are good people and you will enjoy working with them."

Roofing questions, answered by experts

The best way to prevent wind damage to your roof, especially if you live in an area prone to hurricanes, tropical storms, or tornadoes, is to invest in a roofing product with high wind resistance. Look for the ASTM D3161 and ASTM D7158 ratings to see the specific wind speeds your roofing product can withstand. Impact-resistant shingles have the highest wind resistance ratings and will give you the best chance of avoiding wind damage.

While you technically can add a roof over shakes or shingles, it’s not a good idea. Roofing over existing roofing creates a moisture barrier underneath the new roof and since the trapped material is wood, you can expect a moisture problem. While you could get away with installing a new roof over asphalt or steel, wooden roofs should be removed, new underlayment installed, and the new roof installed over that. Also, the extra weight would add strain to your roof structure.

Using a staple gun to hang Christmas lights on your roof or shingles is not recommended. Puncturing your roof with staples can cause damage, leading to cracks, leaks, and exposure to the elements. Staples are also less reliable than other methods like roof clips. For a safer alternative that won't damage your roof, use shingle tabs.

Manufacturers, insurance companies, and municipality regulations are phasing out three-tab shingles. Because of their short lifespan and lack of durability compared to other roofing material types, manufacturers are leaning toward better products, and cities and insurers are starting to require better building materials overall. However, 3-tab shingles are still for sale, and some roofing companies still install them.

If you’re choosing between a roof overlay and a tear-off, opt for a tear-off and full roof replacement instead of a roof overlay if possible. The cost savings from an overlay can easily be eclipsed by repair costs, the effects of structural damage from the additional weight, and needing to replace your roof sooner than expected. A full replacement will last longer and is less likely to need damage repaired over time.
