The Colonel asked:

I have a roof leak and called a roofing contractor. He wants Almost $6500 to put new shingles on my roof. He said he has never seen shingles in the condition they are. My house is only 6 years old. I have never had a leak. Could this be caused by all the snow we had this winter? What do you think is this guy trying to screw me. It couldnt possibly be the snow. When I noticed it was built up on the roof about 16″ my brother in law came over and blew it off with his snowblower before it got any higher. Damn deceiptful contractor is what I think.

sidearms7 asked:

I was told by my roof contractor that my shingles are 25 years Architectural shingles, not what the contract states, which is Owens-Corning 30 years duration. It’s almost been a month since they’d finished. What are my options?

Rooftop asked:

Most online sites lead you to a contractor who wants to do the work for me. I just need a discount price for the roofing shingles.

d d asked:

Has anyone had a shake or asphalt roof and upgraded to a metal composite roof (gerard shake, granite ridge)?

Expeirenced any cons of rain amplified, retained heat in the house, and etc?

Today, I received a bid on an asphalt roof and they were saying to stay away from metal composite material, so I would like to hear some feedback.

Snowflake asked:

Have two rectangular shaped skylights…my husband and I have already installed metal roofing on part of our house, now moving on to the part that has the skylights. Want to be sure to do it correctly so we won’t have leaks. Should we just cut the metal holes out and silicone around the edges or is there more to it than that? Please advise.

coolbreeze44105 asked:

I’m seeing more and more of this. The roof shingles wrap around the gutters as if they were gards. But I don’t see how the gutters can still control the flow of water. Why do people get shingles like this? Is it good?
