Roofing Recommendations

When you replace your roof using a qualified contractor like Tom Buzzard Co., and high-quality materials, you get to enjoy the benefits of your investment. If you are looking to sell your home, a new roof can often increase the value of your home and make it more desirable to potential buyers. If you are planning on staying in your home for many years, a new roof can relieve the worry about leaks and the problems associated with them. It is important to use a contractor that is insured for roofing and certified to install high-quality materials, so that you can feel confident that your roof will remain leak free for years to come.

One thing that truly sets Tom Buzzard Co. apart from other area roofers is that we hand nail every shingle during roof installation. Where most roofers use a nail gun, we opt to install shingles the old-fashioned way to make sure every nail is properly placed and secured to the wood decking below. This tried-and-true method and attention to detail ensures proper shingle installation, and that means your roof can last for decades to come. 

When you choose Tom Buzzard Co. for your residential roof replacement you can feel good knowing that you have made the right choice. We are insured to install roofing and certified with CertainTeed and Owens Corning. Our expert installers and high-quality materials will give you peace of mind that your roof will last.

SELECTING YOUR SHINGLES

Regardless of what your roofing needs may be, using top-quality, 3-tab or architectural roof shingles is important. When selecting your shingles there are many options. Whether you decide to use standard choices, luxury dimensional, textured, or laminated shingles, you should understand the differences between them to help you make the best decision for your needs. Price alone isn’t the only factor to be considered. While a lifetime warranted shingle may be more expensive than a 25-year shingle, the money may be a fractional cost increase overall. If you plan to stay in your home for an extended period, consider using the most durable roofing shingles. You may find the added durability is worth the extra cost by helping you to avoid damage should adverse weather conditions threaten your roof. Also using algae-resistant shingles can help maintain the curb appeal of your home.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT ROOF REPLACEMENT COMPANY

Finding an experienced and insured roofing contractor is one of the most important factors for a quality roof replacement. Contractors who are fully insured for roofing and have many years of experience often use the best materials and provide quality installations. Look for a contractor that is insured for roofing, holds certifications, and preferred contractor status.

MATERIAL & WORKMANSHIP WARRANTIES

Making informed choices about your roof may require you to compare material and workmanship warranties. This can be essential to making the best choices, even if you end up paying more for your roof replacement. It is well worth the effort to find a reputable roofer that is local and offers the best warranty. Many cheap “fly-by-night”or “hail storm chaser” companies provide substandard materials and installations. They have a “here today, gone tomorrow” approach to roof replacement and don’t offer the best warranties.

TESTIMONIALS AND REFERENCES

You also want to make sure to read customer testimonials and ask for references. Knowing what previous customers have to say about their experience with a company is one of the best ways to help you make your choice when choosing a contractor to replace your roof.

OTHER FACTORS TO CONSIDER

Ventilation and replacement of sub-roof materials are other things to consider when replacing your roof. Attics that aren’t properly ventilated can cause warping of your roof decking. It’s important to find an experienced and reputable roofer that will offer the best advice and guidance for your situation.
