Roofing

Many home repairs increase the value of the property – not necessarily as much as the cost of the repair, but enough to recoup a large chunk of the losses while possibly building value over time. Every situation is different – renovating a room that already looked new, for example, will bring less value than…

Recently, we talked about “Cheap Roofing Estimates” and some of the dangers surrounding the idea of cheap roofing. The problem with getting a cheap quote for roofing is that most costs related to roofing are non-negotiable: Material Costs Minimum Labor Requirements These costs are loosely set in stone, unless a roofing contractor chooses to cut…

Cost is the #1 consideration that homeowners make when choosing who to hire for any job, including roofing. Roofing is expensive, and so it makes sense to look for the best pricing. But roofing – even more so than many other home renovations – can have wildly varying prices, and it’s not just because some…

Maybe you’ve had this thought: During years where there is constant, heavy rain that lasts for weeks or even months, there are situations where you might think to yourself “can my roof even handle this much rain?” Does frequent, ongoing rain cause any roofing challenges?

If your roof was completed 15, 20, or more years ago, it is highly likely that you have an asphalt shingle roof. Asphalt roofing has been a staple in residential and commercial construction for decades, known for its affordability, durability, and versatility. They’re also the roofing option most likely to get damaged, and the one…

Theoretically, roofing is quite durable. If you think about the amount of wind, rain, and snow that roofs can handle, the average roof can withstand a lot of elements. But if you’ve ever held a piece of roofing material in your hands, especially something like asphalt shingles, you can also tell that it isn’t exactly…

Raising a Roof Adds More Space to a Home and May Increase Value, But is Not For Everyone “Raise the roof” is not only a sports term. It’s an actual process that contractors use to increase the height and space of the home by raising up the roof and re-constructing the property. Raising a roof…
