LaShotha C. says, "I interviewed 3 different companies before choosing Peer-less Concrete. Here are the things that sold me: 1. Expertise and Professionalism - When they came to provide an estimate, I explained what I wanted; extend the patio to the fence. They gave me a better option for the patio; extend the patio equidistance on 2 sides. I loved it so much, I had that idea priced by the other two companies. - They wrote a professional estimate of services and explained in detailed their process. I used their detail to question other possible vendors. - Their price was 3K. This initially gave me pause. But keep reading. 2. Quality - Peer-Less uses a ready-mix delivery that improves the integrity and consistency of the concrete. I learned this through research. The other two companies would use bagged concrete. With a smaller job, I think this would be fine. But with this being a slightly larger job and an extension of my patio, I wanted to ensure the concrete was consistent with my current patio and aesthetically pleasing. - My yard also has a sharp decline so grading the land was EXTREMELY important to me. This company utilized all the right machinery and equipment to do this job right. 3. Value and Fairness - I mentioned that they asked for 3K to complete the job. This was more than I wanted to pay initially. (Mostly due to my ignorance and not understanding the value of the work.) However, after pressing the other two vendors on price, the materials, and their processes I learned that I much more comfortable with quality of the materials used by Peer-Less. I was also impressed with not just their process but their explanation of the process . As for the process, they reduced the price to 2500 after a job came available that would allow them to rent the machinery perform 2 jobs instead of one. They passed that savings on to me. The other two vendors would have cost a SIMILAR amount after calculating labor etc. Conclusion: If you want it done right and you want to be sure about the quality of the product, give Peer-Less a call. They were also extremely kind to me and a pleasure to work with. I’d absolutely use them again."See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

Is it worth it to hire a roofer?

There are several reasons why it’s worth it to hire a professional roofer instead of attempting it yourself. The first is safety. Roofing is inherently dangerous, as a fall from a roof could seriously injure or kill you. Roofers have specialized equipment and training to help prevent accidents.  

Next is experience. Roofers know how to spot problems (leaks, missing shingles, moss or mold growth, etc.)  in your roof that could potentially save you from costly repairs down the road. 

And finally, roofers save you time by getting the job done quickly and with a high degree of quality.

How do you know when you need a new roof?

Some of the signs that indicate you need a new roof include cupping, warping and peeling asphalt shingles, as well as cracks on certain shingles. Other warning signs may include:

  • Leakage
  • Exposed nails 
  • Missing granules
  • Droopy, sagging roof
  • Moss, mold or fungi growth 

A metal roof may need to be replaced when it grows rusty and begins leaking. Tile roofs made of clay, slate or concrete need repairs when cracked. Cleaning and inspecting the roof regularly can help prevent major damage from occurring. 

Contact the best roofers near you to inspect, repair or replace your roof.

Do you tip roofers?

It’s not customary or required to tip roofers. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t tip, but it is generally not expected. If you do decide to tip, you can give the tip to the foreman or distribute it yourself. 

Another idea to show your appreciation is to surprise the crew with coffee, water, snacks, breakfast or lunch when they arrive at the worksite. 

How do I choose the best roofing contractor?

Choosing a roofer starts by reading reviews online. Compare customer ratings of roofing contractors and companies to identify pros with a good track record of craftsmanship and customer relations. Some reviews may also have photos of completed roofing jobs.

Many states require a license for someone to do roofing work, so make sure the companies you’re considered are licensed. Also, look for contractors and companies with several years of experience. 

Before you make your final choice, contact several roofers near you to get free estimates and quotes. Ultimately, choose the roofer that will do high-quality work for a reasonable price. 

Does homeowners insurance cover roof replacement?

Homeowners insurance generally covers roof replacement if the roof is damaged by a natural disaster or a sudden accident, according to Investopedia. However, insurance companies often won’t cover roof replacement costs if the roof is older than 20 years. Read your insurance policy to find out what types of roof repairs or damages are covered.

What is the best roofing material?

The best roofing material for your home will depend on your budget and what you’re looking for. If you want a roof that has longevity, consider the following lifespans for different materials: 

Roofing material Lifespan
Asphalt 20 years
Metal 40-80 years
Copper 70 years
Clay/Concrete 100+ years
Slate 60-250 years
Simulated Slate 10-35 years

There are a variety of roofing materials available and appropriate for residential applications. When choosing roofing materials, it's essential to consider the look you want, your budget and the climate in your area. 

Asphalt shingles are one of the most popular types of roofing materials because they are affordable and relatively easy to install. They come in various colors and styles designed to last decades if properly maintained. Asphalt shingle roofs also have a higher fire resistance than other roofing materials (like wood shakes), making them an ideal choice for homes in areas prone to wildfires or other natural disasters. 

Metal roofs are becoming increasingly popular because they offer superior durability, fire-resistance and energy efficiency compared to traditional asphalt shingle roofs. They are available in various colors and styles, making them a good option if you want more customization options. Metal roofs also require less maintenance than other types of roofing materials. 

Tile roofs are an excellent option for homeowners looking for long-term durability and multiple style options. Tile roofs can have great longevity with proper maintenance, making them an ideal choice for those who don’t want to replace their roof too often. Tile roofs typically cost more than asphalt shingle or metal roofs, so if budget is an issue, this might not be the best option for you. Keep in mind that tile roofs are often made out of clay or concrete — both of which are durable.

Slate roofs are known for lasting a lifetime, which means you probably won't have to replace this type of roof. Slate is durable, a curb-appeal booster and a favorite among homeowners. Just keep in mind it can get a bit pricey.

No matter which type of material you choose, make sure that you hire a top-rated professional who knows how to properly install your home's new roof. Search Thumbtack for roofing contractors and companies in your area today.

How long does a roof last?

A roof’s lifespan depends on two major factors: the material and how well the roof was installed. Assuming that the roof is installed properly, here’s how long different roofing materials should last:

  • Asphalt shingle roof: 20 years
  • Metal roof: 50 years
  • Slate roof: 100+ years (lifetime)
  • Clay roof: Lifetime
  • Concrete roof: Lifetime
  • Copper roof: Lifetime

When should I get my roof inspected?

Experts typically recommend that you have your roof professionally inspected at least once a year. But you also may want a licensed professional to inspect your roof during these circumstances: 

  • You're buying or selling a home
  • You're filing an insurance claim
  • Before or after a contractor does major work on your roof

Search the Thumbtack site for experienced roof inspectors near you. You can contact them directly to set up a time to conduct the inspection, and learn more about their pricing structure and services.

What happens during a roofing inspection?

Roof inspectors are trained to look for signs of a failing roofing system that could lead to damage — especially water and structural damage. Your home's roofing materials may look great from the ground, but it's difficult to see potential damage unless you take a closer look. A roof inspector can do just that.

During an inspection, the professional will typically look for issues that may have occurred during installation and manufacturing. They’ll also keep an eye out for damage caused by normal wear and tear, as well as extreme weather events. They might also access your attic to see if there are signs of a leak in your roof.

Here’s a short list of common things a contractor will look out for during a roof inspection: 

  • Damage caused by hail, wind, snow and rain
  • Missing, broken, buckling, curling or cracked shingles 
  • Roof decay, rot, moss, mildew and mold
  • Rust around the flashing
  • Damaged chimneys and vents
  • Holes, gaps and punctures that could cause a roof leak
  • Water stains and ventilation issues

Hiring a roofing inspector prevents you from having to do the dangerous work of climbing onto your roof. Plus, inspectors know how to assess potential damage and determine the best way to repair your roof and prevent the need for more expensive repairs in the future. Start searching for a roof inspector on Thumbtack today.

How much does it cost for a metal roof?

Metal roofing installation is an attractive option thanks to metal’s long lifespan, hardiness and fire-retardant properties. Nationally, the average cost for metal roofing installation ranges from $6,000 to $20,000.There are different types of metal roofs, each with their own installation needs and materials costs. Roof size also affects your metal roofing installation costs, as do regional labor rates. Roof size is measured in squares; one square equals 100 square feet. Here are some examples of the average cost for a metal roof:

  • Standard metal roof: $120-$150 per square to start, including materials and labor
    • A 30-square roof (a 3,000-square-foot roof) could cost between $3,600 and $4,500 for a typical three-bedroom home.
  • Snap-Loc metal roof: $200-$225 per square to start, including materials and labor.
    • A 30-square roof could cost $6,000-$6,750.
  • Standing seam metal roof: $300 per square to start, including materials and labor.
    • A 30-square roof could cost $9,000 or more.
  • Tuff-Rib metal roof: $250-$350 per square to start, including materials and labor.
    • A 30-square roof could cost $7,500-$10,500.
  • Mid-range metal roof package, including all accessories: $300-$500 per square.
    • A 30-square roof could cost $9,000-$15,000.
  • High-end metal roof package — such as zinc or copper — and all accessories: $1,000-$1,500 per square.
    • A 30-square roof could cost $30,000-$45,000.

We had a new roof installed on our house and could not be happier with the results. The job was started and finished with cleanup in two days. The new roof looks great and I would definitely recommend Russell Contracting.

Everyone at Magnum Construction was amazing to work with. Ismael especially went out of his way to work with our schedule and get the new roof done quickly and on budget. He was the reason we went with Magnum for our roof and we couldn't be happier with the results. If we have any similar projects, Ismael and Magnum will be our first call. Big thanks to the whole crew, great work!

Matthew repaired roof damage for me. He responded quickly. He was professional, punctual and gave me a good estimate. He did what he said he would do and even went above and beyond what I expected. He seems to be a good Christian man and he couldn’t have been nicer.

This company is nothing less than stellar. They are thorough, professional, honest, and just down-right good people. As a homeowner, there are few things more comforting than someone treating your home with the same level of care and concern with which you treat it. That is what I experienced with the level of skill and attention to detail that The Squirrel Guys put into my roof repair. I have not experienced better service from a contractor. Thank you, Squirrel Guys!

Called the Roofing Dudes for quick repair for sale of home. They were extremely responsive and communicated very well every step of the way. From the people in the office to the manager who did the estimate to the actual work - communication, punctuality, and value was spot on. Even when they were going to be late I got a text before I had even noticed. I have recommended them to all of my neighbors and my real estate agent. 5 stars.

Matthew was great to work with. We had a roof leak in a valley where the water slashes into a dormer. Matthew was very knowledgeable and knows how to fix our issue. As well we discussed several other issues we had such as some nail holes that prior construction folks had left and a fireplace flashing issue. Matthew showed up in time each time we met and finished the job on schedule. He was also very quick to respond to my questions.
