"We contacted several roofing contractors to replace our garage roof after a tree fell onto it. The majority of the roofing contractors never called us back. Frey Construction stepped up and we had an estimate in our hands within 5 days. Frey was timely in getting our project completed. The roofing crew & gutter crew were professional and courteous every step of the way. We will be recommending them to neighbors and friends for their construction needs. We hope to work with Frey Construction in the future!!!"

"Chad and his crew were absolutely amazing. From the first sales call, until the last nail of completion, I knew we could count on him. He had been referred, and we immediately felt comfortable with Chad, as he patiently explained the value in a significant undertaking - this roof will be there another 200 years, the quality is just that good! The work was on-time, professional, and the crew did a great job of cleaning up when they are done. We plan to use Metal Roofs Direct for other roofs when the time comes!"

"The job was completed quickly and professionally. They really did a good job both protecting shrubbery by house and cleaning up any nails and debris after the job was done. They provided a folder with all the info I needed to know about them and their work, even references. They expressed a real concern for my being happy with their work, answering any questions I had or might have. And the price was more than fair. I would definitely recommend them."

"We were in the market for a new asphalt shingle roof to be installed on our home. Brad gave us a professionally written estimate of the work needed ahead of time. He kept us up to date on when he obtained the job materials, when the job would begin, and gave us a projected end date. Each day the roofing crew came out to our home they were punctual and worked hard to complete our new roof within about two days. Brad is very professional and has excellent communication with his customers. He takes pride in his work and wants his customers to be satisfied with the work that is done. We would highly recommend Brad and his company, Heritage Home Services, LLC to others!"

Roofing questions, answered by experts

Gaps between tiles are necessary to help with weatherproofing, allow for thermal expansion, and increase wind resistance. In general, a small gap no larger than 3 millimeters wide will encourage proper drainage and limit cracking. Beyond that, tiles should overlap a minimum of 3 inches, except at the eaves where they should extend to the center of the gutter.

The level of underlayment’s water resistance will depend on the type of underlayment. The most popular underlayment, felt, is water-resistant, but it can’t withstand long direct exposure to rain or the elements. 

Synthetic underlayment is more waterproof, but asphalt is the only fully waterproof type of underlayment.

Asphalt roofs provide better insulation than metal roofs, but that doesn’t always mean that asphalt roofs are better for reducing heating and cooling bills. In hotter climates, metal roofs will usually be better for home efficiency because the material reflects more sunlight and reduces solar heat gain. In colder climates, asphalt roofs are sometimes superior in terms of efficiency because they introduce more solar heat gain to your home and have greater insulating capabilities. However, metal roofs installed with an air gap can provide similar levels of insulation.

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.

Whether replacing the entire roof or just installing roof shingle replacements in small areas, always pull up the old roof shingles. While you can technically put new roof shingles (but not other roof materials) over old shingles, this can add weight strain to the roof and prevent the new shingles from securing properly to the roof.
