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."
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.
Proposals, invoices, and estimates are most often used as marketing documents and are not legally binding. Contracts are legally binding documents that detail the service offering, project considerations, and signatures from all parties. If you signed a proposal for discussion purposes while requesting a quote and you decide to hire your roofer, make sure the contracting party follows through with a legally binding contract to protect both parties.
Roofers most often use nails to fasten roofing shingles and other roofing materials. Nails have more holding power than staples and offer better weather resistance and longevity. However, it is possible to use staples instead of nails when installing a roof. Staples are less expensive, but not as high-quality.
Wooden roofs require regular maintenance, are prone to rot and mold, and are frequently the target of insect infestations. Natural wood is also excellent at absorbing and storing moisture—not a positive. In climates where the weather shifts dramatically, the wood can also crack, split, or warp.
As with any roofing material, there are benefits and drawbacks to consider before installing roll roofing. On the plus side, roll roofing is budget-friendly, lightweight, and comparatively easy to install. It is also ideal for low-sloped roofs and lasts around 10 years. The cons of roll roofing, however, include its low durability compared to roofing materials, restricted color choices, and low ROI.

Low-cost
Lightweight
Cut to size
Easy and quick installation

Easy to purchase and transport

Less durable than asphalt shingles
More prone to cracks and tears
Short life span
Not as many color or style choices
Not as aesthetically pleasing as shingles, wood, or clay tiles
