"Metal Roofs Direct provided us a 100% custom roof panel profile that we were looking for that no other roofing company could provide. The custom profile we created matched the style and the era of the house. Me being very particular in craftsmanship, Metal Roofs Direct worked closely with me even on a daily basis to make sure I was happy with the installation work quality. Jeremy was the lead that captured and conveyed all my wishes very well. Highly recommend Metal Roofs Direct for their integrity, craftsmanship, and the crew that works extremely hard to satisfy you as the customer. Anthony, as the project manager, worked very hard and made constant adjustments to meet my very high expectation levels. We love our new roof and the amazing experience we had with the entire crew of Metal Roofs Direct. Chad the owner, always did what was right to correct any flaws and was extremely easy to work with."

"John called me back promptly after I called about a leaky roof. He came to my house, inspected inside and outside and resolved the issue temporarily without expecting a payment. He lives by The Golden Rule. We discussed what needed to be done for a long-term resolution and he gave me a very competitive bid for my roof issues. In addition, I opted to apply a shingle treatment that extended the life of my shingles. He and his team were polite, professional, and very knowledgeable. They picked up debris after they were finished and put a protective canvas over bushes to protect them. I heartily recommend Lapota Contracting for roofing."
"Very professional and excellent customer service. The Our job was a repair job to our fascia and upon completion the work was done so well we could not tell there had been an issue. I would recommend Aguilar1 Construction to anyone looking for a professional who takes pride in their work."
A shingle roof costs between $7,500 and $24,000 in total. The exact cost depends on the size of your roof and the number of bundles of shingles required. A bundle of shingles typically costs between $40 and $60, though contractors might be able to get a lower price than you’d get buying from a local hardware store.
Ideally, you shouldn’t pay your roofer upfront unless you’re special-ordering materials. However, anything between 10% and 15% of the project’s cost is reasonable to pay upfront. Avoid making a final payment until after the roof gets completed.
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.
The least suitable roof for solar panels is a wood shake roof. An electrical mishap with your solar panels could start a fire on the roof, so some areas don’t allow solar panels on wood roofs. You don’t have to let a wood roof stop you from going solar. You can replace your wood shakes with shingles. Installing the panels on the ground is another option.
Technically, a flat roof can be raised, but it’s extremely expensive, and there would not be much of a point. Most homeowners raise the roof in their homes to access the space between their existing ceiling and the roof, but flat roofs don’t have this space. Therefore, you can raise a flat roof, but it involves heavy structural modification.
