Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. The most common question I am asked, is " Does my old roof need to be removed, or can you go right over it?"

In general, the rule of thumb is, you can go up to 2 layers of roofing, on the building before it MUST be removed.
Adding additional layers of roofing material, puts alot of stress and weight on the structure. The uniform building code has deemed that 2 layers are the maximum suggested. But this does not apply to all types of roofing systems. Call your local building dept., for clarification and recommendations.

Q. If you have a complicated pricing system for your service, please give all the details here.

A. Pricing is based off numerous factors, here are a few:
-Square footage
- degree of difficulty (Low slope &steep slope)
- materials
- distance of travel
Consumer`s should also be aware, that most roofing materials are petroleum based, which can greatly shift the costs of materials
