Shingle roofs are popular for residential homes due to their durability, versatility, and aesthetic appeal. Hiring professional contractors is crucial when installing shingle roofs to ensure a high-quality and long-lasting result. Professional roofers bring a wealth of experience and expertise, ensuring that every installation process is carried out with precision and care.

The installation of shingle roofs involves several critical steps, each requiring skill and attention to detail. Professionals thoroughly inspect the existing roof structure to assess potential issues, such as damage or weak spots, which might need to be addressed before the new shingles are installed. This step is essential for preventing future problems and ensuring the roof's longevity.


Flat Roofs

Flat Roof

A flat roof is characterized by a gentle slope designed for optimal drainage, all while maximizing the space available for use. The key advantage of this roofing style is the comfort it offers, as it allows for the transformation of your rooftop into a unique living area, ideal for relaxation or entertaining guests. We are eager to share the myriad benefits of flat roofs with you and also to discuss some potential drawbacks that you should take into account as you make your decision.


Flat roofs are particularly well-suited for homes with limited yard space, as they can cleverly extend your living area. This distinctive feature allows you to create a personal deck or outdoor oasis that makes full use of your roof's expanse, providing an extraordinary spot to relish the outdoors.

Metal Roofs

A metal roof professionally installed offers numerous benefits that make it an intelligent investment for homeowners. One of the most significant advantages is the durability and longevity of metal roofs. When installed by professionals, metal roofs can last 50 years or more, outlasting traditional asphalt shingles. They resist harsh weather conditions, including high winds, heavy snow, and even fire, providing superior protection for your home.


Professional installation ensures the metal roof is properly fitted and sealed, preventing leaks and maximizing energy efficiency. Metal roofs reflect solar heat, reducing cooling costs in the summer and potentially lowering energy bills throughout the year. With proper insulation, they also offer excellent thermal performance, keeping your home comfortable in all seasons.


Another benefit of professional installation is the precision and expertise it provides. Professionals are trained to handle the specific requirements of metal roofing, such as proper flashing, fastening, and ventilation. This attention to detail ensures the roof performs optimally and maintains its aesthetic appeal over time.


Lastly, professionally installed metal roofs often come with robust warranties covering materials and workmanship. Knowing that your investment is protected and that experts will promptly address any issues adds peace of mind.

Reroofing

Reroofing is the process of replacing or layering new shingles over an existing roof to improve durability and appearance. It’s a cost-effective option for homeowners when the underlying structure is still in good condition but the shingles have worn out. Reroofing helps prevent leaks, reduces energy costs, and extends the roof’s lifespan. However, it’s important to note that reroofing may not be suitable for all roofs, especially if there is significant damage, rot, or more than one layer of shingles. Always consult a professional to ensure proper installation and long-term protection for your home.


The duration of a reroofing project typically depends on the size and complexity of the roof, as well as weather conditions and the materials used. On average, reroofing a standard single-family home can take 1 to 3 days. Smaller roofs might be completed in a single day, while larger or more complex roofs with multiple slopes, angles, or layers of shingles can take up to a week. Weather delays, structural repairs, or special materials like slate or metal can also extend the timeline. It's best to consult with your contractor for a more accurate estimate.

More About Roofs

Once the inspection is complete, the old roofing material is removed, and the roof deck is prepared for the new shingles or metal. This preparation may involve repairing or replacing damaged decking, installing a layer of underlayment for added protection, and ensuring the surface is clean and dry. Professionals know to select the appropriate materials and techniques that best suit the specific conditions of the roof, such as the local climate and the home’s architecture.


The actual installation of the shingles requires precision in placement and nailing. Proper alignment and spacing of the shingles are crucial to prevent leaks and ensure a uniform appearance. Metal roofing need to be properly aligned and screwed in. Experienced roofers are trained to follow manufacturer guidelines and industry best practices, which helps avoid common pitfalls, such as improper nailing or inadequate ventilation.


In addition to the technical aspects, professionals also offer valuable warranties on their work, providing homeowners with peace of mind. A professionally installed shingle or metal roof has enhanced a home's curb appeal and provided reliable protection against the elements for decades. By choosing professional installation, homeowners can ensure that their investment in a shingle roof is well-protected and built to last.
