Roofing Contractors

When looking to hire a roofing contractor, keep in mind the following:

• Make sure the roofing company and all employees have the proper licenses: state, local, etc.
• All contractors should have two types of insurance: worker’s compensation and liability insurance. If they don’t have these, then look for someone else.
• In most states, roofing contractors are only allowed to ask for a deposit of up to 10& before beginning work.
• Ensure whichever company you pick has the proper permits, and be wary of contractors who tell you to get the permit as it will save you money.
• Ask the contractor to release you from material and labor contracts upon completion.

Roofing Shingles

Here are some of the more commonly asked questions we get about roofing shingles:

Can new shingles be applied over existing ones?

Yes, depending on the roof’s conditions. If it has a single, flat lying layer and a deck in good condition, then you should be apply to a new layer on top of the old one. However, you’ll need to check with your local officials regarding building code rules.

What can be done to diminish the chances for shading?

Don’t mix on the same roof shingles with different production codes. Ensure you are following the proper instructions, and apply them from the roof’s bottom to the top.

How many shingles do I need on my roof?

It depends on the size of your roofing. You can estimate using approximate calculations, and most roofs can be separated into different shapes. First calculate the roof’s area by figuring out whether the roof has triangle, square, etc. shapes. Then, add up all the areas to determine the total area.
