"Brisco Roofing submitted the lowest of three separate bids to replace the roof on our home. The crew did an excellent job on the new roof. We made a cash deposit for the work, and the staff carefully explained the materials and work that would be done to replace the roof."
"I was very happy that I have chosen Near Me Roofing Company for my roof restoration job. The job was done as per quoted with no spills and thrills and now I don't have to worry about a leaking roof. The price was reasonable for the quality of the repairs and fixes completed. Thank you Elijah and the team for the great roof restoration work."
"Outstanding. I discovered the leak late in the afternoon, and scheduled an appointment for the next day. Filipe showed up in the morning, and said he would do the necessary work right away, as rain was expected again the next day. He replaced missing shingles, and caulked/shingled around two skylights. In addition, he re-set roofing nails and siliconed them in place."
"Buena Vista Roofing was just awesome to work with. Daisy, Yadira and Mariana were all just a pleasure to work with. They take photos to show what the issue is and then take photos to show how they completed the work. Every question I had they answered. Also they have great follow up."
"I interviewed eight roofing companies and the first 6 had the same roofing products and the sale sales style. My background was a salesperson for a New York Computer manufacture and am very acute of the sales process. My opening with all vendors was the same. My roof was 40 years old, and two layers needed to be removed with some structural problems. Mr. Rivera and his son spent 2 hours reviewing the problems with my roof. The only vendor to identify my roof was full of black mold. What the facts are importing with a contractor and a client. My request and response from Mr. Rivera were one of a personal commitment to a solution to my problems. Not a quick and cheaper quote from another vendor! Most of my roof was stripped off roof materials and plywood. During the work they discovered other structural problems with my roof. This raised the price another $5,000 because my request was to repair my roof. My home will be going on the market, and I want another family to raise a new family as I did over the last 40 years. Mr. Rivera and his son are men of there word and represent the best of the America I love. I also purchased new down spouts and drains from them. I am ready this summer to sell my home without the worry that a cheap job would impact on another family in the future."
"Great job start to finish. Answered all our questions, and the new roof looks great. Had a minor issue with the subcontractor who did our new gutters, owner came in person and resolved the issues very quickly. Happy to recommend this company!"
"Cobex did a great job replacing my old roof from the initial call to final cleanup. They were very responsive in getting all of the details right Ahead of time, and were prepared for every question."
Yes, roofers can repair and replace roof trusses. In fact, because trusses are such an important part of your roof’s structure, it’s best to have a roofing contractor deal with a damaged truss. If you try to fix the problem without the right skills or knowledge, your roof could sustain further damage or even collapse.
Yes, replacing a roof is always a good investment if the current one is in poor condition. Not only will it preserve the structural integrity of the home, but it can also add value at the time of sale. The average return on investment for a new roof is between 48% and 61%. Prospective buyers are also more likely to purchase a home with a recently replaced roof since that means they won’t need to worry about that expense in the near future.
It’s possible for a roofing estimate to change after the initial assessment, but in most cases, it shouldn’t. There’s always the risk that something unexpected will happen that causes prices to go up, like discontinued materials or your roofer discovering previously hidden damage to your decking when ripping off the old roof. However, experienced roofers should account for these circumstances in their initial estimates. Roofing contracts are binding, so always check your contract for language about how and why your numbers could change.
Homeowners insurance may cover the cost to tarp a roof if the type of damage falls within your coverage. For example, roof damage caused by a natural disaster may fall within your plan, and the cost of a temporary tarp may be incorporated. In general, however, simply tarping your roof for renovations will often not fall under insurance coverage.
The short answer is, yes, cedar shakes do last longer than asphalt shingles. But the long answer is, it depends on maintenance. Asphalt shingles last about 20 years, while cedar shingles typically last about 30 years with proper maintenance. If they are very well maintained and installed in an area with a mild, drier climate, they can last up to 50 years.
