What was wrong

The porch roof was too flat for shingles and had been patched three times.

What we found

Shingles on a low slope like that never seal. Water backed up under them and rotted the decking at the wall.

What we did

Tore off the shingles, replaced the bad decking, and installed hidden-fastener standing seam panels formed on site with snow guards over the steps.

How it turned out

No more patching, and the porch now looks intentional next to the main shingle roof.

What kind of roof do you have?

By submitting, you agree to be contacted by phone or text about your roof. You can opt out at any time.

What to expect

Straight answers to the questions people ask before they book.

How soon can you come out?
For most inspections and estimates, within a few days. If water is coming into your house right now, call us — active leaks jump the line.
How long will the appointment take?
Plan on 45 minutes to an hour. We walk the roof, check the attic when we can, take photos, and sit down with you to go over what we found and the written price.
Do I need to be home?
Yes, plan to be there. Sometimes we need to get into the house or the attic to find the real source of a leak. Being home also means you hear the findings straight from us instead of a phone call later.
What if it rains on my job day?
We don't tear off a roof when there's a real chance of rain. We follow a rain-percentage rule: if the forecast shows a meaningful chance of rain during the day, we push the tear-off to the next good day. Nobody races a storm with a tarp on your house.

Before we come out

A few small things make the visit faster and easier for everybody.

  • Let your neighbors know the day before — ladders and a dumpster are easier when they expect it.
  • Move cars out of the driveway and off the street in front of the house.
  • Keep pets inside, and please clean up the yard first.
  • Trim bushes and shrubs back from the sides of the house so the crew isn't standing in them.
  • Take down yard decorations, statues, solar lights and anything fragile near the walls.
  • Clear a path to the attic or crawlspace — we may need to check underneath the roof.
