"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."
"After we had roof damage from hail, LOA Construction came out immediately to give us a quote on the work that would need to be done. They worked with us and our insurance company to ensure a fast, affordable, quality repair. We won't hesitate to contact them in the future should the need arise."
"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."
"Mike is a no-nonsense down to earth get it done guy. He provided a detailed listing of products and cost estimate. Work began immediately. His crew was courteous and professional. Mike was onsite (meaning up on the roof) often. The test came this past week with all the heavy rains. All was snug and dry. I am just delighted with the quality of the roof and the workmanship. I highly recommend Rattler Roofing."
"Highly recommend Granado Roofing! Robert Jr came out and provided a thorough estimate, flowed up on the contract in a prompt manner. He was always very responsive throughout the repair, His father, a master roofer, and his partner showed up right on time and they finished the job when they said they would. We got a few estimates and Granado came in at the middle of the road. Felt good about hiring a family run small business."
"Ramiro’s Roofing, Siding & Roofing Repairs were one of three referrals given to me by Home Advisor. My rental that is between tenants showed signs of a leak in the roof from the heavy rainfall over the past few weeks. Set up an appointment for Ramiro to check it out. In addition I had some siding issues where the nails were backing out. He quickly assessed the problem and provided me a quote to take care of both items. I was impressed with Ramiro’s knowledge and the reputation of his company’s work quality and service and accepted the quote. Ramiro started the job a day later and was done the same day. I was very pleased with the siding and the issue that caused the leak was expertly resolves. If I ever need siding or roofing service in the future I will go to Ramiro."
The easiest type of roof to build is a shed-style or lean-to roof, which features a single sloping plane from one side of the building to the other. Unlike a gable roof with two sides meeting in the middle, a shed roof's single slope makes the construction process more straightforward. The rafters are typically single pieces of wood that span the distance, often without the need for additional supports.
The best roof replacement type depends on your budget and your particular climate, as well as your personal aesthetic. But in general, asphalt shingles are the best roof replacement type for homeowners looking for durability at a budget-friendly price. Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material—cost-effective, easy to install, lightweight, and the perfect choice for handy homeowners.
Spray foam roofs don’t stand up well to impact, so they won’t last as long as something like a tar and gravel roof and other flat roof materials in areas where extreme weather is common. Due to the reduced durability, you’ll also need more frequent maintenance and repairs for a spray foam roof, and those costs will add up over time. Spray foam roofs are relatively uncommon, so you may also struggle to hire a roofing contractor who can install one.
How long shingles last depends on the type of shingles you have on your roof. Asphalt shingles normally last anywhere from 15 to 30 years, metal shingles can last anywhere from 15 to 100 years, and tile shingles can last anywhere from 50 to 100 years or more.
16-gauge galvanized steel staples with a minimum crown of 15/16 inches or 24 millimeters are occasionally used to install shingles. However, most shingle manufacturers or residential building codes don’t recommend staples as a roofing fastener. Roofing nails are preferred in most cases, especially in areas that get a lot of heavy wind.
