"I was trying to find a roofing company which can install quarry slates. Just one and only roofing company completed my new roof. Looks amazing. Nicely and professionally done. Highly Recommended"
"I have used Hermilo and his team at Associates Roofing on two separate occasions and am extremely pleased. The first was a major roof repair requiring several days of work. The workmanship was far superior to that of the original installation. Upon completion of the work, Hermilo walked the entire roof to make sure there were no additional issues. I am now confident that my roof will withstand the heaviest wind and rain. Weeks later after completing the repairs, Hermilo call to make sure there were no leaks and that I was satisfied with his work. His attention to detail, responsiveness and customer follow-up is exceptional. I recommended Hermilo to my neighbors and he was hired by two of them. I will definitely call him again if the need arrises in the future, and I highly recommend Associates Roofing to anyone needing roof repairs. Jerry Hyde"

"We found â  Roof Magicâ  on Angi. Our insurance company requested us to clean our roof due to a dark, almost black, color in areas especially on the North side. I had never heard of this! When I spoke to the representative he explained that this a type of â  livingâ  growth that is prevalent in humid climates. He went on to explain how and what they clean it with, he even sent some before and after photos of work they had done. Roof Magic came out about a week laterâ ¦on time with the products and supplies needed. They took BEFORE photos. The team worked cheerfully, efficiently and quickly taking most of the day. The difference was AMAZING! I was glad to have the BEFORE photos to compare with their AFTER shots. It made the roof look new and gave a major face-lift to the house. I would highly recommend Roof Magic and the work they do. Knowing now the effort and time it takes I also believe the price was fair."
Hail is unlikely to damage a tar and gravel roof because the hailstones will hit the protective gravel rather than your delicate roof membrane. A tar and gravel roof is the most resilient flat roof option, which means it’s the best one for areas that see hail, fallen tree debris, and blown debris from intense winds.
Generally, roof flashing is installed under the shingles to create a watertight seal and prevent moisture from seeping in and causing damage. However, the exact placement can depend on the type of flashing. For instance, with step flashing, the shingles and flashing overlap each other, meaning the flashing is technically both over and under the shingles. Flashing also typically goes beneath the house siding and is often not visible from the ground.
There are several pros and cons of flat roofs. One disadvantage of flat roofs is that you lose potential attic space because it's flat. Flat roofs tend to pool water and because they lack an angle, any leak in the roof—usually due to a bad seal—has the potential to let in a lot of water. They don’t work well in climates with snow. Flat roofs are also structurally weaker than sloped roofs.
A roof overlay will last an average of 15 years, compared to the 20 to 30 years or more that a full roof replacement for a shingle roof will last. An overlay’s lifespan may be shortened even further if there’s underlying damage to the existing roof or structural problems with the roof supports.
A well-maintained tile roof can last anywhere from 40 to over 100 years, with its exact lifespan depending on the material and level of care. Proper maintenance, which includes keeping the roof clean, free of debris, and performing routine repairs for any cracked tiles, is crucial for longevity. The lifespan varies significantly by tile type:
Clay, terracotta, and slate tiles are highly durable and can last over 100 years.
Concrete tiles typically last from 30 to 100 years.
Metal tile roofs generally last between 40 and 70 years.
Composite tile roofs have a lifespan of 20 to 50 years.
Be aware that maintenance for a tile roof can sometimes be more expensive than for an asphalt roof.
