"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."

"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."
A roof pitch that’s too shallow won’t shed runoff as quickly, so you have an increased risk of water intrusion through the seams between your roofing materials. In colder climates, snow and ice will accumulate more easily on your roof, which can add enough weight to cause roof collapse and structural damage to your home.
Building code allows 24-inch on-center spacing for roof trusses. However, you can install them on 12- or 16-inch centers to handle large loads or other exceptional circumstances. In cases such as covering a wide span or supporting alternative roofing materials, where a structural engineer needs to evaluate or create a design for your trusses, the plans will indicate the spacing.
A roof pitch multiplier is an accurate way to calculate roof square footage, and it’s handy for purchasing the correct amount of materials. To determine your roof pitch multiplier, you'll need to calculate the roof slope, square it, and add it to 144. Next, find the square root of the total and divide it by 12. The answer is your roof pitch multiplier. Once you know the roof pitch multiplier, multiply it by the total square feet of your building to determine the total roof surface area.
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.
The most obvious and severe sign of a roof leak is the presence of wet spots on your ceilings, specifically on the top floor of your home. You can also identify a roof leak from your attic if you see sagging insulation or if you notice mold growth or water stains on the rafters or the underside of the roof deck. From the street, look for cracked or missing shingles, moss growth, and shingles that are curling upward, all of which can suggest a leak.
