"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 level of underlayment’s water resistance will depend on the type of underlayment. The most popular underlayment, felt, is water-resistant, but it can’t withstand long direct exposure to rain or the elements. 

Synthetic underlayment is more waterproof, but asphalt is the only fully waterproof type of underlayment.

The most obvious and severe sign of a roof leak is the presence of wet spots on your ceilings, specifically on the top floor of your home. You can also identify a roof leak from your attic if you see sagging insulation or if you notice mold growth or water stains on the rafters or the underside of the roof deck. From the street, look for cracked or missing shingles, moss growth, and shingles that are curling upward, all of which can suggest a leak.

While two-layer torch down roofs are easier to install than three-layer roofing, it is best not to DIY the installation. Torch down roofs require expert knowledge of the application process to get it right the first time and prevent leaks or poor craftsmanship, not to mention that roof work can be dangerous.

The most common slope range for roofs on houses in snowy areas is between 4/12 and 6/12, or 50%. A roof with a slope of less than 10%, or roughly a 2/12 pitch, won’t be effective at shedding snow. However, roofs that are too steep can allow large amounts of snow to build up and fall all at once, creating a hazard for those on the ground.

You should hire a roofing professional to install a metal roof, as it’s an essential part of your home and a difficult installation. Your roof provides the most protection for your home among all of the building materials, and any mistakes made during the installation process can quickly lead to roof leaks, water damage, and significant repair costs. A roofing professional will ensure your new roof is installed properly and according to building code to minimize that risk, and they will usually back the installation and materials with a roof warranty for added peace of mind.
