  1. Can I put a new shingle roof on top of existing shingles?


    Yes you can. In some cases we are able to install an additional layer on top of an existing one if there is only one layer on the roof at the time of repair. However, in some cases the structure of the house may not allow the weight of two layers.


  2. Why are your prices lower than others?


    1. We are a family owned business.
    2. We deal directly with our customers. We do not have any salesmen and there are no sales agent fees.
    3. We have state of the art disposal equipment and are able to avoid container fees.
    4. We have long standing relationships with suppliers. We pass on that savings to our clients.


  3. When do I have to use asphalt plains on the whole roof?


    When you use fiberglass asphalt shingles, we recommend you use asphalt felt plains below. When you use organic asphalt shingles and when the roof is less than 8/12 pitch, we also recommend it.


  4. When do I have to use ice & water shields?


    We recommend that you use ice and water shields around chimney's, skylights, valleys, dormers, and edges when the roof is less than 5/12 pitch.



  5. When do I have to replace my wall flashing?


    When it begins to come away from the walls, bricks or other surfaces.

  6. What is the difference between straight wall flashing and step wall flashing?


    Step wall flashing is far more efficient and reliable because it follows the tuck pointing (mortar between bricks) more closely. It adheres to the contours of your bricks and mortar. Step wall flashing is slightly more expensive and is known to last may years longer than straight wall flashing.

  7. What is the best type of shingle for my type of roof?


    There are approximately sixty different types of shingles and slate materials. Durability ranges from twenty years to a lifetime. It is crucial that your roof be professionally analyzed before any recommendations are made.

  8. Do I need vents? How many should I have?


    Yes. We recommend most houses use vents. One vent is needed for every three hundred square feet of roofing. You can either use turbine vents of static vents. For every one turbine vent, you'll require five static vents to achieve the same circulation.

  9. What do vents actually do?


    Answer: Vents help to circulate air in the attic, help plywood on your roof breathe better and they remove condensation from the attic.

  10. Do I need a drip edge?


    Yes. We recommend using a drip edge when your roof is under 6/12 pitch or if you have a gap between your roof and your eavestrough.



  11. Do you have a license to install and repair roofs?


    Yes we do. We have a license and we present it to you when we present our quotation.

  12. Do you have insurance?


    Yes we do. We provide all necessary documentation before any work begins.

  13. Do you have Workman's Compensation?


    Yes we do. We provide all necessary documentation before any work begins.
