With so many choice of shingle roofing it can be hard to decide on the right product for your home.  We recommend starting with the warranty first.  Many shingle manufactures have “Master Certification” for contractors.  This means that if a contractor has met the criteria and has a proven track record the contractor can become a master certified contractor of a specific brand.  When choosing a “Master Certified” contractor you will be able to take advantage of better warranties which the contractor can offer.  Once you have found the best warranties break it down to the style of shingle roofing that you like.  Now all you have to do is choose a color that works well with the exterior of your home.

Roof replacement varies depending on the size and complexity of a roof.  Typically a quality roofing contractor will complete a roof in as little as 1 day but may take 3 days for the same size roof with more complexity.

Roofing is a very dirty and dangerous job.  Most quality roofing contractors will have a landscaping protection plan.  This usually involves using plywood to cover shrubs and plants around the perimeter of a home.  The yard will then be covered with a tarp while the tear off process is underway.

Typical a roof has approximately 40,000 nails in it.  The majority of the nails will stay in the shingles as the shingles are removed.  The balance of the shingles will be collected with a rolling nail magnet.  The crew should do a sweep of the property 3-5 times during the process.  Most home-owners find about a small coffee cup full of nails over the corse of the next year.
