"I’m so proud of my beautiful roof. The guys showed up on time and ready to go to work. They did such a wonderful job. I would definitely hire JWF Roofing and Remodeling again."
"We had a great experience with Omega Roofing. Steven and everyone of his crew members gave us service better than we ever expected. We had a difficult repair on the roof and whenever there was a choice of procedures, Steven, always gave us the best one for our budget. I will always use Omega for all my roofing needs."
"He comes and gives you a timeline for work. He helped and gave me a name and brand of roof shingle material that I could use when I hired another contractor to replace it. He also gave me recommendations of other companies that can help me with work."
"kevin and American Master Roofing were friendly and responsive throughout our roof replacement. They explained everything thoroughly and showed up right on time the day of the install. My neighbors all commented on the fast and thorough job American Master Roofing did. They even cleaned up ours and the neighbors yard before they left for the day. I would recommend them to anyone needing roof repairs or replacement."
"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"
"Mr Jesus was absolutely great. He was timely, worked hard, and gave me a fair price for roof repairs. I would recommend or be a reference for his services."
"Armando replaced the flashing and vent pipe where condensation was coming through and dripping in the bathroom when it rained. He diagnosed the problem quickly and accurately, first checking the roof for any leaks. Work is excellent and fairly priced. I would recommend A and M Roofing to all HomeAdvisor users."
"I worked with NJN Roofing and Construction to get my roof replaced. Prior to needing my entire roof replaced, I called NJN out to conduct repairs on 2 or 3 different occasions due to leaks in my roof caused by different storms blowing shingles off. Adrian with NJN came out in the middle of a storm to get my leak stopped. When it came time to actually replace my roof Adrian was a huge help. After I submitted my claim with insurance, he handled everything from that point on. It was a very smooth and easy process. It took his crew one day to complete the entire job and they did an amazing job cleaning up after themselves. Highly recommend NJN roofing."
No, a metal roof will not make your house hot. In fact, metal roofs help keep your home cooler by reflecting heat instead of absorbing and transmitting it inside. Metal also has high thermal conductivity, which means it gains and loses heat quickly. While the sun may heat the metal, the roof rapidly transfers that heat back into the air rather than retaining it. This reflective property can lead to energy cost savings of up to 40%, as your cooling system won't need to work as hard to maintain a consistent indoor temperature.
Asphalt shingles, wooden shakes, and slate or clay roofing tiles are often replaceable without having to replace the entire roof. It's possible to replace just a few shingles or tiles without much trouble in the case of wind damage or other minor problems. DIYers can perform the task in some situations. However, professional repair is always the best bet when it comes to roofing.
Once framing is complete, you will need the following materials to roof a house:
Wood sheathing
Drip edge, a.k.a metal flashing
Underlayment for waterproofing
Roof covering, like metal or asphalt shingles
The common formula for measuring a roof is length x width equals square footage. Professional roofers measure the length and width of your roof, including dormers, and determine its pitch and rafter sizes. If a roof surface is a triangle, they’ll divide that square footage by two, then add up the square footage of each surface to get the total for the roof.
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.
