"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."
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.
An insulated garage benefits from roof vents to ensure proper ventilation and prevent moisture buildup. Insulation can trap moisture in the garage, especially during temperature fluctuations, and roof vents play a crucial role in expelling the moisture in the air. Including roof vents promotes air circulation, preventing condensation and enhancing overall air quality.
Roofing estimates vary for many reasons, but the most significant ones include differences in the cost of labor based on the contractor’s experience and overhead costs, as well as the quality of the materials your roofer will use for the job. You should get your estimates itemized and make sure your contractors include details about the materials they plan on using. Doing so allows you to compare not only based on the cost but also the value that you’ll get for your money.
A spray foam roof lasts 20 to 30 years if installed and maintained correctly. Spray foam roofs should be recoated every 10 to 15 years to maintain the UV protection and waterproof surface of the foam material. The longevity of spray foam roofing will depend on the thickness and density of the foam, the protective coating, and how well it’s maintained.
Most traditional lenders will not loan against a house with a leaking roof, and some lenders won’t lend against a home with a roof near the end of its lifespan. If the roof on your new home is in poor condition, you may need to have the seller offer a credit for a roof replacement after closing, or you can opt for a renovation loan—also called a 203k loan—to bundle the house and the roof replacement into one loan.
