"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."
"I have concrete tiles on my roof, and a few were broken by the hail storm last summer. I had tried since then to get a roofer to fix the broken tiles, and some rotted wood. Each one I contacted wanted 2 things: 1. hat did my insurance appraiser say? and 2. They asked if I had any of the tile on my roof as they didn't know what kind it was. or if they could find it. Finally, I came across Carlos on Homeadvisor. He responded immediately and came to look at my roof, the same day in fact. As e looked at the roof, he told me what type of tile I had and said "he has that". He took ample pictures on the roof, and shoed me the damaged areas. He gave me a quote, it was fair, right in line with other quotes I had had. I asked when he could start, he said next Tuesday. We signed a contract. Next Tuesday (2 days ago), he and a partner showed up promptly at 0830, Turns out, I also had a section of my roof being attacked by Carpenter Ants. I called my pest control service, and they came out and treated. Carlos and I adjusted the contract on the spot, (very fair again), and on day 2 he had expanded his crew, and proceeded to rebuild a section of my roof. Bottom Line: I found a reliable service that actually knew my roof, and got repairs done all within 1 week, at a fair price. C&R Roofing is not only on my short list for roof repair, they are my short list. If you have a roof issue, do yourself a favor, and at least give him a shot to give you a quote and talk to you about your roof."
"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!"
"Rick and his guys are outstanding. They replaced our roof. Good price. The work was amazingly quick, good quality and very professional from beginning to end."
"Great. Trinity Roofing really helped me. She went up there with the adjuster to review the damage to the roof and explain to the adjuster that there was damage took pictures. I previously called another roofer and that roofer did not do anything for me the claim was declined Trinity Roofing really helped us If we every need a new roof. We will use Trinity Roofing again. 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."
Roof sheathing can buckle from moisture damage, too much weight from roofing materials, or too much space in between rafters without thicker sheathing to compensate for the added distance. Bucking roof sheathing is a serious problem that can lead to a collapsed roof, so have a qualified roofer near you come to identify the problem as soon as possible.
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.
The lifespan of a torch down roof depends on the number of layers installed. A single-ply system typically lasts between 10 and 15 years, while a multi-layer system with two or three layers can last from 15 to 25 years. Although a multi-layer option may be more expensive upfront, it provides a longer service life. Warranties often reflect this, with about 12 years for a one-ply system and 15 years for a two-ply system. For context, this lifespan is shorter than other common roofing materials like wood or asphalt shingles, which typically last 20 to 30 years, with high-quality versions lasting up to 50 years.
Condensation can occur on the inside of a roof, but it should always be temporary. It does not necessarily mean there is a roof leak. Condensation happens when the inside and outside of a house are at different temperatures. For instance, if it is hot during the day and then gets very cold at night, the inside of the house will be warmer than the outside and may cause condensation to form on the inside of the attic. This may not be cause for concern, but if it is happening frequently, it should be addressed; otherwise, it could cause roof leaks, compromise the structural integrity of the wood, or allow mold to grow.
The material and frequency of maintenance are the biggest factors for determining the longevity of your shingles, not the color. For instance, luxury asphalt shingles can last 30 years or even longer, while slate tiles have an impressive lifespan ranging from 75 to 100 years. That said, lighter-colored shingles can help reduce your energy costs in the summertime.
