5 Reasons to Install a New Roof

  • 1. Improved resale value. As mentioned above, a new roof increases home value by almost $12,000, according to the latest cost vs. value survey.
  • 2. Excellent appearance upgrade. New architectural-grade asphalt shingles provide texture and color options that are truly amazing. Who would have thought you could duplicate the appearance of a rustic slate roof using asphalt shingles? It’s possible with the selection of high-grade asphalt shingles available today.
  • 3. Longer warranties. Standard warranties for asphalt shingles used to be 15-20 years. Premium-quality asphalt shingles today offer warranties as long as 50 years.
  • 4. Cool roof technology. Believe it or not, some types of asphalt roof shingles have an ENERGY STAR® rating because they are designed to reflect solar heat, thereby reducing cooling costs.
  • 5. Avoiding building inspection issues. When a house goes on the market, the roof is one of the most visible features –not just to prospective home buyers but also to building appraisers and inspectors. A roof in poor condition can stop a home sale dead in its tracks. That’s why it’s smart to replace an old roof with a new one.

A new roof is a big investment and you should take the time to find a trustworthy contractor to complete the job. I advise never sacrificing quality for price. The extra money you spend on a proven expert is usually well spent.

Just wanted you to know how great your staff is from answering the phone and being so helpful.  The person who did the estimate and Matt who did the work on my roof.  You have a very courteous and extremely efficient bunch of people working for you.  Thanks so much!

I am writing this letter to let you know how impressed I am by your crew and your company.  Your men are hard working, courteous and efficient.  Being in a service/construction business myself, I know what it means to be prompt and professional.  Your quick response both on our estimate and on our work was impressive as was the clean up that your crew did before leaving.  We never would have known you were here when you left.  Thanks for the good job.
