About Roofing Contractor

Every building is different, and the work behind Roofing Contractor is planned around the roof it has and the way the building is used; questions about the process are welcome at any stage; the plan separates repairs from upgrades.

Roofing Contractor options and materials

Asphalt composition shingles

The shingles are made from a fiberglass mat coated with asphalt and topped with mineral granules; a contractor can explain the differences between product lines; algae-resistant granules are offered for damp, shaded roofs.

Dimensional shingles

Architectural shingles are made from multiple layers laminated together, giving a thicker, dimensional look; matching the style to the architecture and the street gives a pleasing result; matching hip and ridge pieces finish the look.

How our Roofing Contractor work goes

  1. Assess the surface, the flashing and the attic The roof is examined for worn, cracked or missing material, lifted seams and damaged flashing; where the decking or structure may be affected, that is flagged before any decisions are made; the pitch, height and access of the roof are noted so the work can be planned safely; notes are compared with the roof plan before any decision.

Common questions about Roofing Contractor

What are the steps after hail or wind damage?

Take pictures and notes before any cleanup or temporary repairs are made; temporary protection, such as a tarp, can prevent further water damage until repairs are made; a tarp should be fastened so wind cannot lift it.

What should a roofing proposal list?

A thorough proposal describes the materials, the preparation and the finishing details; ask how the contractor handles unexpected findings once the old roof is off; the type of underlayment and flashing should be named.
