"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

You can secure roof decorations like inflatables and other Christmas decor by tying a rope or attacking bungee cords to your roof clips. Depending on the pitch of your roof, you can use sandbags for extra support. Like with Christmas lights, avoid using staples or duct tape. 

Technically, a flat roof can be raised, but it’s extremely expensive, and there would not be much of a point. Most homeowners raise the roof in their homes to access the space between their existing ceiling and the roof, but flat roofs don’t have this space. Therefore, you can raise a flat roof, but it involves heavy structural modification.

A roof pitch multiplier is an accurate way to calculate roof square footage, and it’s handy for purchasing the correct amount of materials. To determine your roof pitch multiplier, you'll need to calculate the roof slope, square it, and add it to 144. Next, find the square root of the total and divide it by 12. The answer is your roof pitch multiplier. Once you know the roof pitch multiplier, multiply it by the total square feet of your building to determine the total roof surface area.

Whether replacing the entire roof or just installing roof shingle replacements in small areas, always pull up the old roof shingles. While you can technically put new roof shingles (but not other roof materials) over old shingles, this can add weight strain to the roof and prevent the new shingles from securing properly to the roof.

Mansard roofs are still popular in Paris, where they originated, and throughout France. In the United States, you can find mansard roofs on some older buildings in Manhattan. The architecture also appears on some Victorian and Colonial-style homes. There are pockets of homes with mansard roofs in New York City and Los Angeles, where they were once more popular than they are today.
