"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!!!"
"Excellent roof and experience! Thankfully, they were able to squeeze us in between other jobs and they tore off our old roof and put on a new roof and left our place nice and clean. I would 100% hire them again."
"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."
Yes, installing a new metal or tin roof can increase your home's value. A metal roof's longevity and durability are major selling points for prospective buyers, as it means they likely won't have to worry about a roof replacement. These roofs can last 40 to 80 years, which is significantly longer than traditional asphalt roofs.
In terms of return on investment (ROI), homeowners may see an increase in home value of around $7,000 to $8,000, which can represent 60% to 70% of the installation cost. Another way to measure ROI is per square foot, which can range from $3.00 to $8.40, with higher returns in areas where a durable roof is particularly beneficial.
The green coloration that develops on copper roofs is called a “patina,” and it’s a result of mild oxidation on the surface. The oxidation process is not harmful to your roof. In fact, the surface corrosion acts as a protective layer and won’t spread to the core of your copper roof materials. The discoloration will progress much more quickly in damp or humid climates than it will in dry climates. If you don’t like the green color, you can seal your roof to preserve the shiny, rose-gold look.
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.
A metal roof can last anywhere from 15 to over 100 years, with an average of 50 years, depending on the material, installation, and environment. The specific metal is a key factor: aluminum roofs may last 20 to 45 years, while steel can last 30 to 60 years. Tin can last for up to 75 years, and more durable options like zinc, stainless steel, and copper can last from 80 to over 100 years. Factors that can shorten a metal roof's lifespan include living in a coastal region with corrosive salt air, improper installation (such as laying over old shingles), and failing to inspect and replace fasteners, which may wear out before the panels.
Though cedar shakes often get confused with shingles, there are a few key differences between wood shakes and wood shingles. For one, cedar shingle prices are lower, although shingles are less durable than wood shakes. Cedar shakes are thicker than shingles (shingles range from about 3/8 to 1/2 inches thick, compared to 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick for shakes). Wood shakes are handmade, while shingles are usually machine-made. Also, wood shakes work better on steeper roofs than shingles do. While the cost of cedar shingles is more budget-friendly, there are many great reasons to choose shakes.
