"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."
"I really appreciate JC and his crew! He was so easy to work with, got our roofing done in a day (a long day as he wanted to finish before the rain came), cleaned up everything and best of all our roof looks amazing! JC uses top quality CertainTeed products so I know it will outlast us. Also he had a crew that could repair our deck stairs. They did a sturdy job that will also last many years. If you are looking for an honest person to work with that is reasonably priced, will stand behind his jobs, and hires the best craftsmen, I highly recommend JC at A Roof Above."
"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."
"Erie Homes was great. Ty and Chris shared the information about roofs in a clear and precise way. I love the high quality of the roofing materials and the standards they hold their workers to when placing the roof. Mike called me each step of the way, so I was prepared when the roofing supplies showed up. I even got calls after the beautiful roof was done. Amazing job!"
"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."
If a roof is not vented, trapped air and moisture have nowhere to go and will cause moisture to build up in the attic. When moisture builds up, it can cause mold and mildew, leaks, and rot. It will make the space hot and stuffy, which can result in higher energy bills as the HVAC system works overtime to regulate the temperature.
Good news—asphalt shingles, including architectural shingles, are easily recycled. Talk to your roofing contractor to find out if recycling options are available in your area.
If recycling isn't available, your roofing contractor may recommend renting a dumpster, if your project is on the large side, or collecting the shingles in contractor bags to throw them away. Another option may be to donate new or gently used shingles to a local nonprofit.
Just like when you’re shingling a roof, you can install felt underlayment under a metal roof, but a synthetic underlayment like adhered ice and water shield is the best option. These use adhesives rather than mechanical fasteners, so you have fewer penetrations going through your roof deck and a lower risk of leaks. Ice and water shield is also easier to install because you don’t need additional tools or fasteners to attach it to the roof deck.
Sometimes, a local authority won’t approve a request for a roofing permit. This may be because of incomplete documentation, unclear project plans, processing delays, or insufficient communication. There may also be discrepancies with building codes.
Most roof leaks occur where shingles meet or where there are sealants or seams in the materials. This is common around skylights and at any point there is a break in the roof such as corners and edges. Roofing materials are incredibly strong and resistant when overlapping, but any change in that can cause gaps where water can enter.
