"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."
"To put it in perspective,there were hundreds and hundreds of roofs being done at the same time. I had good references on them. Communicating with them was difficult. The biggest problem is having crews on site that speak Spanish, and I don't speak Spanish worth ding dong."
"Ruben was very nice and courteous as well as honest and reasonable price to repair my roof. Did a excellent job on the repair and if I ever need someone to work on my roof again I would definitely call Lobo Roofing and ask for Ruben."
"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 work is dangerous and exacting, and a misstep could lead to even more costly repairs, so we do not recommend DIYing. If you are dead set on giving it a go, practice safety measures. Wear a harness, only work during mild weather, and have a partner to help. Potentially DIY-friendly jobs include patching up small leaks, sealing areas around the chimney, and replacing a few shingles.
Homeowners insurance typically covers roof repairs or replacement if the damage is caused by a sudden, accidental event or a covered peril, such as a storm, wind, hail, fire, or a falling tree. However, insurance will not cover repairs or replacement for issues stemming from a lack of maintenance, normal wear and tear, or a roof that is simply old and at the end of its lifespan. If a leak or damage occurs due to neglect, you will likely have to pay for repairs out of pocket.
Generally, hailstones that are one inch in diameter or larger can cause significant damage to a roof. However, smaller hail can also cause damage, particularly when accompanied by strong winds, if it strikes an aging or poorly maintained roof, or if hailstorms are frequent in your area. Hail that is ¼ inch (pea-sized) or smaller poses a minimal risk of immediate, permanent damage, but cumulative impacts can cause deterioration over time. The extent of the damage also depends on the roofing material; hail-resistant tiles like slate or certain types of asphalt shingles can withstand impacts better than other materials. If you are concerned about potential damage after a storm, it is always a good idea to have a professional roofer conduct an inspection.
A cool roof can be worth it in the right climate. Cool roofs are excellent at reflecting solar heat away from your home, so if you live in a warm or hot climate, they can be a great roofing choice. Some cool roofing materials are even eligible for tax credits. However, they cost more than traditional roofing and don’t retain heat as well as traditional roofing, so they’re not ideal if you live in a cold climate.
Look for certified local roofing contractors with plenty of experience working with cedar. There are also several important roofing questions to ask before choosing a roofer, including whether they are licensed, bonded, and insured. Once you’ve rounded up a few good candidates, compare estimates and hire whoever gives you the best bang for your buck.
