"SlopePro was prompt and professional when setting up the initial roof inspection for our house. Alden showed up exactly when he said he would, and he was able to inspect the roof and provide a quote the same day. Alden was very thorough in explaining the different components of a roof, the process they would go through, common issues that he has seen in the industry that his team actively takes steps to prevent. The crew that arrived on the scheduled start day was prompt and professional as well. They took great care to protect the edible plants near the house, and kept the debris from the roof removal well-contained. When the work was completed, the crew cleaned everything up meticulously. Alden performed a final walk-through and confirmed the roof was correctly installed. He provided pictures of the roof and explained everything well. The pricing for the project was great! While SlopePro was not the lowest quote that we received, theirs was honest, transparent, and fair."

"Excellent! Crew arrived, started working stopped for lunch and left late, but roof on house and carport were 95% done. Came back next day trimmed up a couple things and cleaned up really well. We are very happy with the roof and the gutters will complete the job. Well done!"

"I recently had a fantastic experience with Repair Pro for a much-needed roof repair, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. ​From the very first call, their professionalism shone through. I was worried about a sudden leak, and the team at Repair Pro was incredibly responsive. They scheduled an inspection quickly, and the technician was right on time, courteous, and extremely thorough. ​They clearly explained the damage (a few missing shingles and resulting water penetration), showed me pictures, and gave me a clear, fair quote with no pressure for unnecessary extras. ​The repair work itself was completed efficiently and meticulously. The crew was respectful of my property, took care to protect the landscaping, and performed a very thorough cleanup—you couldn't even tell they had been there, aside from the brand-new, perfectly matched shingles on my roof! ​Most importantly, the repair has held up perfectly through the last few heavy rainfalls. It’s a huge relief to know the issue w"

Roofing questions, answered by experts

Installing a green roof costs between $10 and $30 per square foot. Green roofs cost slightly more than standard roofs, due to the extra materials and installation know-how required. The type of green roof you choose also impacts the cost, with intensive roofing systems costing considerably more than extensive roofs.

A cool roof is any heat-reflecting roof that rejects solar energy more efficiently than traditional roofing (staying about 50 degrees cooler). Thanks to this ability, a cool roof will make your home cooler on a hot, sunny day. Cool roofs come in a variety of materials, including asphalt, wood, or polymer shingles, clay or concrete tiles, metal, and more.

Metal roofs have a reputation for being noisy, but with proper installation and adequate insulation, they are not significantly noisier than shingle roofs. The type of metal used can affect the sound level; for instance, steel roofs are typically noisier than slate or asphalt tiles but quieter than aluminum. While some people find the sound of rain on a metal roof pleasant, you can take steps to reduce the noise. Installing a thicker underlayment, adding insulation between the roof and the house, or using acoustic tiles can effectively muffle the sound. The gauge (thickness) of the metal roofing can also contribute to sound dampening.

The proper specifications for furring strips can vary, so you should always consult the roofing manufacturer's guidelines or your roofer. However, general recommendations are as follows:

  • Thickness: Furring strips are typically 1 to 1-1/2 inches thick, meaning standard 1-by or 2-by lumber works well. In areas with extreme winds, a thinner strip may be preferred to limit how much air can get under the roof and cause uplift. A thicker strip can add slightly more insulation but will also increase installation costs.

  • Spacing: The recommended spacing for furring strips is between 12 and 24 inches apart on center. Proper spacing is crucial for ensuring good airflow, adequate drainage, noise reduction, and better energy efficiency. The ideal spacing can depend on the roof's pitch and the specific type of metal roofing being installed.

Sometimes. Professionals may be able to remove the old roof and re-attach it when completed, depending on your blueprints. That can help you save money. But this method is not without its risks. Larger roofs may crack during the transportation process. And if the roof is old or has problems, it may be better to replace it entirely. Keeping the old roof isn’t always possible if you are making significant alterations to the roofline.
