"The original roof on this house was done in 1950 and was not done by Inland Roofing. This is the 3rd roof on our house that Inland Roofing and Supply, Inc. has done 1975, 1996, and 2024. They do a fine job every time. This year it was John Edwards, Hayden, Cory, and another John who does a fast and efficient job on the new shingles. They are all very courteous, professional, trustworthy, reliable, and they all cleaned up all the debris each day which we appreciated. Inland Roofing and Supply, Inc. is the best company!!!"
"Alejandro made to process of get new roof easy and painless. I Called A and S Roofing and Construction LLC after being referred by a friend. I am glad I did! Alejandro inspected the entire home not just my roof. I didn't understand at first but he explained to me everything that was damaged by hail. Insurance was responsible for fixing. He walked me through my insurance paperwork and explained to me the process. By the time Alejandro got done with the job. My home beautiful again. New roof, gutters, window screens, new paint, and my deck re stained. I could not be happier with my choice of working with A and S Roofing!"
"If you are looking for a roofing company with integrity, look to Balsamroot Exteriors. Our entire, challenging roofing project of installing stone coated steel shingles (Decra) on our new garage, in the heart of winter was managed expertly. This product requires specialized skill. The entire team was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. They do high quality, efficient work, kept things tidy on site and completed the everything in a timely manner. Troubleshooting issues was easy and communication was prompt and consistent throughout. John was able to explain everything from product options to available financing clearly and concisely. They even finished with a thourough inspection of all the other roofing on my property, including separate buildings. I will definitely hire Balsamroot again."
"Bryan was excellent in explaining the process of our new roof installation. He also did a great job showing us the new roof products and explaining how the whole procedure would be done."
"JC removed our old leaky tar and gravel carport roof and replaced it with a new metal roof instead. From start to finish, JC kept us up-to-date every step of the way and happily answered all questions we had. Even when it was discovered that there were extra repairs needed, he communicated and helped us understand. The team was quick and constantly kept the workspace clean of debris. The new metal roof is beautiful and I will be using him again when I need to replace the rest of our roof. I would highly recommend JC and Roof Above for all of your roofing needs."
"Full time Contractor exceeded our expectations for a roof replacement. It was an easy and straightforward process to define and schedule our new roofing project. Jason Olinger took us through the process and the roofing workers followed up with excellent service. Our project was completed ahead of schedule with meticulous clean up."
"ErieHome waterproofed my basement. The crew was polite, kind, and came in, did an excellent job in 3 days by digging a trench on the inside of the basement, removing the dirt from the bottom of the foundation, installed corrugated tubing, rock and then cement. They also installed a Humidex airpurifier and new sump pump with a backup pump. They cleaned up afterward. Any questions I had were answered in a respectful manor. I now have peace of mind knowing that I no longer have to monitor weather forecasts for rain or have to clean up anymore incoming water. The system is warranted for the life of the house and included within the price, which increased the value of my home."
"Elias Contruction provided a detailed estimate after inspecting the roof and making some qualified recommendations. The project required a few change orders that were not clarified in writing. I would recommend hiring Elias if you get changes in writing. They cleaned up pretty well although they missed a few things due to finishing in the dark. Overall satisfied with the job and cost was 60% of other bids due to sheathing adjustment."
Asphalt roofs provide better insulation than metal roofs, but that doesn’t always mean that asphalt roofs are better for reducing heating and cooling bills. In hotter climates, metal roofs will usually be better for home efficiency because the material reflects more sunlight and reduces solar heat gain. In colder climates, asphalt roofs are sometimes superior in terms of efficiency because they introduce more solar heat gain to your home and have greater insulating capabilities. However, metal roofs installed with an air gap can provide similar levels of insulation.
The type of roof and roofing materials that are best for your mobile home depends primarily on its shape and slope. Rubber materials, such as EPDM and TPO, are best for flat, low-sloped, or bowed mobile home roofs. Asphalt shingles or metal roofing are best for mobile homes with sloped rooflines.
Yes, but it won't be as effective as installing it as part of a new roof because it won't be as water-resistant. However, a drip edge installed after the fact is better than no drip edge at all.
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.
A well-maintained tile roof can last anywhere from 40 to over 100 years, with its exact lifespan depending on the material and level of care. Proper maintenance, which includes keeping the roof clean, free of debris, and performing routine repairs for any cracked tiles, is crucial for longevity. The lifespan varies significantly by tile type:
Clay, terracotta, and slate tiles are highly durable and can last over 100 years.
Concrete tiles typically last from 30 to 100 years.
Metal tile roofs generally last between 40 and 70 years.
Composite tile roofs have a lifespan of 20 to 50 years.
Be aware that maintenance for a tile roof can sometimes be more expensive than for an asphalt roof.
