"The entire process from meeting and discussing with Andre our roofing needs to his professional team providing the roof we hoped for was excellent. The roofing team did a great job removing our very old roof, replacing it with a roof that met high standards living in a hurricane zone and making sure that the roof met every expectation. The crew was friendly, prompt and professional. We were also very pleased with the removal and clean up of all the old roofing materials and debris. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Many thanks to Andre and his team for providing us with a beautiful roof!"
"The guys at Roeslers Roofing contacted me with a reasonable quote on the same day. They are excellent, beautiful roof and guttering. People are calling me about my roof."
"Unlike three previous roofing companies C and R Roofing actually has repaired the leak. They approached the problem in a thoughtful manner. They went beyond the repair. The next rainstorm proved the leaks to be fixed, finally. I recommend them to anyone who has a problem."
"I reached out to Roland’s Roofing after a major hail storm damaged the standing seam metal roof on a new owner/builder house project. From quotation to completion, the entire roof replacement process went very smoothly. The project took less than a week with craftsmanship and attention to detail that are second to none. Bryan, Robert, everyone on the roofing team and the office staff were professional, honest and extremely polite. I can’t thank them enough for a job well done. I am looking forward to working with Roland’s Roofing again on my next project."
"Ruben Villalobos, principle of Lobo Roofing, did an outstanding, cost-effective job in replacing our damaged attic ventilation unit and the surrounding roof wood structure and tiles that were causing a major leak on our home plus individually caulking all the numerous nails that were attaching all of the roof top attic ventilation, pipes and other roof top units to prevent any future roof leaks. Lobo?s customer service and work quality are great!"

I’m going to refer them to any friends and neighbors and family members. They are rated AAA with me."
"Mike was very professional and knowledgeable and clearly explained the issues with my roof. The repairs were done promptly and efficiently. The cost was fair and reasonable. Cleanup was excellent. I would definitely recommend Rattler Roofing. I am very pleased with their service."
After you've chosen the best roofer for you, schedule an inspection and review the final contract. Your roofing company should be able to provide options for scheduling the work and a potential timeline for obtaining the permits and starting the job. Remember to always request everything in writing before work begins.
Single-ply roofing lasts for between 15 and 30 years, depending on the type you install and the climate in your area. TPO roofing has the shortest lifespan of 15 to 30 years, followed by PVC, which lasts for 20 to 30 years. EPDM roofing is the longest-lasting single-ply roofing option, with a lifespan of 30 to 40 years. Keep in mind that hail, strong winds, blown debris, and foot traffic can all reduce how long your flat roof lasts.
Gable vents are more common in older homes built before the 1970s. Homes built after this era use ridge vents or soffits, but you can sometimes find homes with both gable and ridge vents. Gable vents can have a purely aesthetic purpose, while ridge vents hide in the roof shingles so air can flow under the roof while keeping the attic dry.
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.
Concrete tile roofs last for an average of 50 years, but you could see more than that if you’re diligent about repairs, roof inspections, and maintenance to avoid major damages. Concrete tile roofs are prone to cracking, so they may not last as long without needing repairs in areas with extreme weather, especially hail.
