This edition can last up to 25 years with proper maintenance. However, if reality, asphalt roofing shingles, last about years in ideal weather conditions dry weather, without temperature fluctuations.

In all other regions, where shingles are constantly subjected to either strong sun, or severe drops in temperature, or heavy snow, rain, etc. Another thing that can really undermine the longevity of your shingles is poor installation. If the shingles were not properly attached to the roof substrate, not only will they look bad, but they will also be more likely to blow off during a wind storm.

If you are looking for a real durable roof that will last at least 50 years, consider metal roofing standing seam, metal shingles, stone coated metal. Owens Corning is one of the top-selling brands in the roofing industry for the following reasons:. So if your roof is about sq. You can actually use our Shingles Calculator to estimate material costs. If roof becomes steeper, you still need 3 bundles per square.

Did you read what he said? The pitch affects the difficulty. The style shingle affects how many bundles you need to move on a difficult roof. Architectural shingles are 4 bundles per square. So a three tab 15 square is 45 bundles but 15 square architectural is 60 bundles.

Pitch DOES affect difficulty, but not the number of shingles. It started to leak, no one from Home Depot came out to fix it. We had to pay another contractor to get red of mold in the house. We have warranty. How can we solve this problem and who should repair this leak? You should file some sort of claim with a local building department to force Home Depot to take care of this.

Now, this 3rd party company hires ONLY sub-contractors to do installations. This most of the time results in better quality installation. The local Building department is not where claims against contractors is to be made. It is the Contractors State Licensing Board. If you walk into the Bldg Dept, they will get a good laugh at your expense, tell you to go to the CSLB, and then laugh you out of the door.

So because a company gives a quote that may be high they are scammers????? Has anyone looked at the costs to run a legitimate roofing business lately? This is all such BS. When he hits 50 years old and his body, truck and bank account are all shot because he worked for sub par wages 7 days a week for 30 years he will think twice.

Roofing and construction is hard, labor intensive work and anyone doing it at cut rate prices is crazy. Having their kids, family and friends work for cash to keep the cost down and save the homeowner some money. Pull up your bug boy boots and get with the real world. We live in the USA… free market, free economy, capitalism. The contractor gets a set rate no matter what, and it is low.

I have had many friends in the trades try and work with them and fail. Ask any of the subs working for them currently how long they have been there… very short term. Carl, I believe I included Workers Comp into roof installation costs guide under labor section. My skills are superb and I should be paid for them.

A 12 pitch has to be staged and it also mentioned there were 3 dormers, so basically a hard roof to do and cut up. Btw, there are presidential shingles which carry 40 and 50 year warranties against manufacturer defects only. Squares for 2, square feet under roof, about This for a top notch turn key job with new ridge vents and top notch materials.

Anything more is a ripoff. Company A — 10, 8 days to finish Very messy, Rude, Rusty equipment, etc. Everyone in the neighborhood thought they did a horrible job. Company B — 7, 1 day to finish Super clean Great people Beautiful equipment. Company B — Out of business. They gave a lower price by hiring unskilled workers. So who was the best deal???? The 10, company that seemed to have done a horrible job…. Homeowners are ripped off everyday when hiring a contractor to do their roof.

When I say ripped off…. If you are a homeowner looking for a roof…. In the end…. If it sounds to good to be true…then it probably is. I always see jobs that fail in 5 to 10 years and when I inspect them I see metals missing, nails too high or completely rusted. Another one I see a lot is people pressure washing a shingle roof. Unfortunately or fortunately for contractors and manufacturers most homeowners will opt for lower cost roofs, which creates a good job security for s of roofers and factory workers, as well as people in the roofing supply chain.

This insurance crap drives me crazy insurance says roof is worth say 23 square 3 tab 7, this is the RCV and depreciation is 4, the ACV is 3, what they would pay if I had basic coverage.

But because I have replacement coverage they pay the whole thing. So by not repairing the gutters and downspouts which are only cosmetic damage they will know after inspection that unless fixed they will not be covered in another storm. So the roofing company is using this money to put toward the bill to make it more profitable for them.

I was reading that I have up to two years to make these repairs after claim and I can do all myself. I was wondering if the price sounds right and that he is using the money from other things AVC to pay for deductible.

So you need double ice and water shield. Even if you just read his posts, you will know much more about insurance roof coverage, and supplements, etc. If there will be multiple contractors, you are asking for troubles.

Prices also will vary tremendously by region. I am a roofer and I hate when people take advantage of others. I believe in good work and fair prices. Unscrupulous contractors give a really bad rep to other roofers, making very hard for homeowners to trust contractors who are actually honest and hard working. It really pisses me off, and a lot of them get away with it all the time. Please elaborate.

Harvey BP is the most overpriced supplier there is. This is a pure money grabbing scheme from ALL the manufacturers. They are all greedy, and we are stuck paying what they demand, because there really is not other option. And the result — the house built in has had an average of asphalt roofs put on it and removed over the years. This is a huge business, and roofing manufacturers will not let it go away.

Most other big names also have a synthetic or natural slate line. Stay tuned. There really is a difference, and that is in the quality of the brand. Also, you have to understand that it is a business. Of course roofers are going to make money on your job! They have to feed their families too! It is grueling work. At the same time, you need to get a few estimates and make sure the numbers are at least comparable.

If company A is 2, more than company B, ask why. Sometimes you can get lucky with a cheap quote. So if you happen to have an issue and they have a nice 7 year workmanship warranty, they will come out tomorrow to fix ANY issues. As a roofing contractor, I will be the first to say that giving an accurate price is one of the hardest things to do.

The cost is affected by things like shingle weight, lamination, color variance, depth, and manufactured quality. I personally believe its up to the contractor to explain these differences and to provide good customer service to find out what the owner is really interested in, but not all contractors work this way. Joe makes a good point as well. I agree that it is difficult to find that golden middle, where you and the homeowner are happy with the price, and your company is chosen over your competitors, based on merit and not price.

However, the contractor is the one fully responsible for building rapport and trust with the homeowner. Roofing is a skill trade. There is money to be made. It is hard work. To run a business with employees and apprentices, with trucks and trailers, takes a lot of money in insurance, comp, and health care, gas and repairs, and so on and so on. That estimate you see up there, reflects a lot more on operating that roofing business, surcharges, and dividing operating costs into each job.

It could be a nightmare 3 — 4 story, city house surrounded by uneven rock and cliffs, with a million pieces of siding to remove, sheathing gone, who knows…. Every natural disaster raises the price of all building materials. Everyone knows that once a price has increased and people are paying it due to necessity the company will not lower their prices; they will pad their pockets with the profits.

Question about the materials list above. You need both the felt and the underlayment? What function does one do that the other does not? Felt is a type of underlayment.

It is basically tar-saturated paper. Underlayments can be organic felt or synthetic. Synthetic is more expensive, but also is much better. We always use synthetic underlay — more specifically GAF Deck Armor — it is breathable underlay that lets the moisture from inside the attic escape, while keeping all exterior moisture out. Talk about a rip-off. Maybe you are barking up the wrong tree. It was way long ago Ron.

I am a GC in Ohio now with a really sharp pencil and some good deals from supply houses. Normally materials only run per square pre-tax for me.
