Five Common Roofing Application Mistakes

CutCertainteedRoof

Successful roofing application requires that installers adhere to certain proper application methods. It is especially easy for inexperienced roofers and do-it-yourself homeowners to make certain roofing application mistakes simply because they are not aware of the various things that can go wrong. Here is a list of some of the most common mistakes and what can be done to avoid them, thus ensuring a successful roofing project.

Mistake: Not including the starter strip.

Problem: This does not provide the proper shingle application base.

Fix: Apply starter shingles at the rake, continuing along the eaves. The starter shingles should be cut to match the existing first course’s exposure. For new construction shingles, this means a measurement of nine inches. Three-tab repair shingles should measure five inches. Then about six inches off the length of the first shingle should be trimmed to stagger the shingles out from the first full course.

Mistake: Not ensuring that the shingles overhang at the eaves.

Problem: This could contribute to roof blow-off.

Fix: Make sure that the shingles overhang the eaves and rakes by at least one-half of an inch. There should be a spacing of about one-sixteenth of an inch between the shingles. Finish nailing three inches above the eaves, using the proper number of nails according to the geographic wind zone.

Mistake: Not properly aligning the shingles.

Problem: This is not at all aesthetically pleasing.

Fix: Vertical and horizontal shingle alignment will be required. This is best done in new shingle applications by using the chalk line. In repair application, the new shingles should be aligned with the shingles that are already in place. Horizontal chalk lines should be set every 10 inches from the bottom of the first course up. Vertical chalk lines should be set every 36 inches from the roof ridge to each shingle’s end, along the first course.

Mistake: Not properly nailing the shingles.

Problem: This could potentially lead to roof blow-off.

Fix: Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations in installing the proper number of shingles for the specific geographic wind zone. Four nails will be required in typical applications of three-tab shingles, but six nails will be required in areas where the wind velocity gets very high.

Placement of the nails is as important as the number of nails being used. Look at the manufacturer’s required placement areas to assess proper placement of the roofing nails. Drive the nails straight into the deck, never nailing from an angle if at all possible.

Know what nail length is needed before roofing application is attempted. Nails should penetrate the deck by at least three-quarters of an inch. Standard roofing nails with barbed shanks are typically 11-gauge or 12-gauge and have heads with diameters anywhere between three-eighths and seven-sixteenths of an inch.

Mistake: Using asphalt-based cements for shingle repair.

Problem: Use of incompatible materials contributes to further shingle damage.

Fix: Apply asphalt-based cement only on the underside of shingles. Damaged shingles with evidence of curling, cracking, opening, or splitting should all be replaced with brand new shingles.

This brief list represents just a few of the things that can go wrong in roofing application. Before attempting anything of this nature on their own, homeowners should consult with the professionals at United Home Experts, who can provide much needed information and advice about the best ways to repair and/or replace a roof and provide free estimates on complete roof replacement.

EPDM Roofing

WHAT IS EPDM?

EPDM stands for Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer.

It is a rubber membrane with a single ply that has been a major solution in the low-sloping commercial roof industry for over four decades. It is the most popular choice of architects, consultants and contractors in both new construction and replacement projects because of its value, quality, and other various benefits.

WEATHERING ABILITY

One of the major benefits of this roof type is its outstanding weathering ability. It is both waterproof and hail resistant. Because of this, it is ideal for a variety of climates, including here in the Northeast.

DURABILITY OF CONSTRUCTION

EPDM, because it is made from rubber, is also very flexible and durable. It is able to expand and contract in relation to weather changes, and this ensures that it will hold up better than other roofing solutions over time.

The unique way in which it is formulated ensures that EPDM is virtually resistant to exposure to harmful ozone and UV radiation. It also stands up well to the test of cold cracking. Because it does not rely on plasticizers to achieve flexibility, there is no potential danger of brittle membranes due to future plasticizer loss.

LONG LASTING

The lifetime costs of EPDM membranes have exceeded other popular low-slope systems, such as built-up roofing, roof_membrane_1modified bitumen, and thermoplastic that have been mechanically attached.

The durability of the EPDM membrane has also led to very long life expectancy ratings, including over 23 years in covered applications, more than 26 years in exposed applications and an estimated ultimate service life of over 50 years.

ENERGY SAVING

EPDM offers a variety of options that enhance energy efficiency to commercial roofing professionals. White EPDM membrane systems have been built with increased UV resistance in mind. These types of systems offer similar performance characteristics to the black EPDM membranes, but with even more energy and environmental benefits. It has become increasingly popular to add white coatings to black EPDM membrane surfaces to extend the life of the roof, increase energy efficiency, and decrease pollution.

EPDM roofs that are ballasted often act the same, in construction, as roof surfaces that are reflective. Although stone ballasts and pavers are not as reflective as white coatings, ongoing industry tests indicate that there is a positive impact on energy usage with this EPDM system type. During the day, the ballast absorbs at the same time as it shades the roof membrane. Then, in the evening hours, the heat is released. Some other EPDM roofing accessories include garden roof systems and photovoltaic panels, which both help to increase a structure’s energy savings.

As is the case with any roofing system, insulation is crucial to ensuring that any building is energy efficient. Adding extra insulation to an EPDM roof can not only increase the effectiveness of a building’s thermal resistance, but it can also eliminate thermal short circuits and potential moisture issues.

CONCLUSION

With so many roofing options available today, it might seem daunting to choose which one would be best for any individual project. EPDM membranes, however, stand out as the most versatile material, and they have a proven track record that reinforces why this is the best option for nearly any construction project with a sloping roof.

10 Beautiful Roofing Shapes and Styles

When it comes to the construction of a house, there are many roofing shapes and styles from which to choose  –  so many, in fact, that many people may not have the time to research all of them. Here is a quick list of 10 of the most popular and functional roof styles. We can install asphalt roof shingles on any of these styles of homes, except flat roofs, we use a different material called EPDM.

ROOF TYPES

1. ARCHED ROOF

This roofing type is most likely not going to be used for the whole building construction, as they can be costly to install, but can be used as an accent to add tremendous aesthetic value to the home.

2. BONNET ROOF

This type of roof is also not usually used on a whole house. It can mainly be found gracing the back porch or a decorative veranda. This roof type is similar to both the hip roof and the pyramid roof, which are mentioned below. The main difference is that two of the roof’s sides slope out at an angle.

3. CROSS-GABLED ROOF

This roofing type is most likely not going to be used for the whole building construction, as they can be costly to install, but can be used as an accent to add tremendous aesthetic value to the home.

 

4. FLAT ROOF

This is one of the easiest types of roof to identify because it is very common – and flat, as its name implies. Flat roofs are easier to construct than any other roof type. They are safer to stand on, and they are generally more accessible for maintenance and repairs. The main drawback to this type of roof is that it does require more maintenance than other types, largely because the lack of slope can tend to accumulate debris.

5. GAMBREL ROOF

This type of roof is very similar to the Mansard Roof. This Dutch-inspired type of roof is made up of four slopes, two on each side of the home. The lower slope is a much steeper vertical style than the upper slope, which might be visible from below, but it might not.

6. HIP ROOF

As mentioned before, this roof is very similar to the bonnet roof. The main difference is that the four sides of the roof meet at a ridge or a flat spot, instead of coming to a point at the top. This enhances the practicality of the roof type.

 

7. MANSARD ROOF

This type of roof is quite similar to the Gambrel Roof mentioned above, with a few minor differences. The main one is that the Mansard Roof does not have the vertical gable ends and the roof overhanging the facade of the home, as is the case in the Gambrel style. This French style of roof offers extra room for increased living or storage space on the top story of a house.

8. PYRAMID ROOF

True to its name, this roof type is shaped like a pyramid. This is another type of roof that is not practical to use on a whole house, but can add a beautiful decorative touch to small home sections or to corresponding outside structures like garages. angle.

9. SALTBOX ROOF

This is interesting type of roof is asymmetrical in form and features a long pitched roof with one very long side and one very short side. Oftentimes, this results in a house that is multi-storied in the sense that one side of the construction is only one story, while the other side of the building features two stories.

 

10. SKILLION ROOF

This roof type has one single sloping roof surface. It looks like one half of a triangular roof, and it can be compared to a flat roof whose roof sides have been inclined just slightly. It is not often used in full home construction but can often be seen as a special roofing option for multi-level homes

For project examples and more detailed information about different roofing shapes and styles when determining which ones might best suit their needs, homeowners should contact the professionals at United Home Experts.

All About Roof Flashing

Flashing

Flashing is a continuous series of thin pieces of sheet metal or other waterproof material that is installed to keep water from getting into a building from a vulnerable angle or joint. It typically operates under the principle that, in order for water to get through a joint, it must fight against gravity and work its way up. In the case of hard rain that is being driven by the wind, the driving force of the heavy rain would have to be diminished. Roof flashing can be installed in one of two ways. It can either be concealed or exposed on the outside of a building’s roof.

Flashing that is exposed is usually made of sheet metal like aluminum, copper, lead or lead-coated copper, painted galvanized steel, stainless steel, terne metal, or zinc alloy. This is how flashing got its name: the metal material catches the sunlight and reflects it, creating an eye-popping, flashing effect. Copper is one of the best metal materials to use for exterior flashing because it is durable and malleable. Using copper in any roofing project will ensure that no weak points exist in the roofing structure. As opposed to some other flashing materials, copper will not destruct if exposed for long periods to sunlight.

Concealed flashing is usually made of either sheet metal or a waterproofing membrane such as fabric made from bituminous coal or sheet material made from plastic. Which type of membrane is used really depends on the climate and on the building’s structural requirements. Aluminum and lead are not recommended for use as concealed flashing materials because they experience adverse chemical reactions when coming in contact with cement mortar.

There are two main kinds of roof flashing:

Flashing that is placed around objects that stick out from a building’s roof, like chimneys or pipes, to keep waterctr00prepdnlr0001m from pooling at joints or seams by forcing it to run off.

Roof penetration flashing is used around cables, pipes, and supports to waterproof these vulnerable areas by providing a protective barrier.

There are many types and brands of flashing available on the market, but homeowners may have trouble deciding between all the different brands and styles. Flashing is a difficult project that is essential to execute with great precision, so it is a good idea for homeowners to seek professional help rather than try to do it themselves. The flashing has to be carefully constructed and strategically placed so that water is definitely deflected away from the roof’s trouble spots and not into the underlying structure of the roof (and the home). Flashing installation done by nonprofessionals can lead to all sorts of trouble for the homeowner and the home, including mold, water seepage, leaks and structural damage.

The trustworthy professionals at United Home Experts are specially trained in all aspects of roofing, so they know all the best types of flashing and are able to install it correctly, ensuring a quality roof maintenance or construction job for any home. Homeowners can contact them for a free estimate and expert advice before undertaking any roof project. For more information about roofs, visit our main roofing page!

Roofer in Upton, MA 01568

Is fishing your thing?  Then think Lake Maspenock.  In the original native language, Maspenock means “choice fishing place.”  There are more than 10 species of fish in the lake, including largemouth bass, yellow perch, white perch, bluegill and several others.  During the winter months ice fishing is allowed.

It’s the little things, like ice fishing at Lake Maspenock that make living in Upton so worthwhile.  Fortunately the homeowners of Upton believe that the town needs to look its best to maintain its quaint charm and grace.

One thing that helps the town to continue looking its best are all the new roofs which the homeowners of Upton ihave install in recent years.  Nothing makes a home – or a community – look shabby and uncared-for faster than a dilapidated roof.

Even so, the homeowners are quite choosy about the people they call a roofer in Upton.  To be considered a credible roofing contractor in this town, a contractor must meet several rather stringent requirements.

For one thing, any local roofing contractor must offer a roof with an unconditional lifetime guarantee – including labor!  Not only that, any local roofing contractor has to use only the highest grade of shingles, flashing and water-tight barriers and they have to be manufactured by Owens Corning, the recognized world leader in roofing products.  Second best simply won’t do.

But probably most important is the fact tha any local roofing contractor must have a stake in Upton’s future.  A roofer in Upton must have the best interests of the community and the homeowners at heart.  A local roofer must have roofed more than a hundred homes in this town and must have a terrific reputation locally.

That’s an awful lot to ask for.  Very few contractors can come even close to all of that.  One that does is United jHome Experts.  United Home Experts has a stake in Upton – they have roofed more than one hundred local homes and businesses and their reputation is spotless.

They also offer an unconditional lifetime guaranteed roof – including labor!  That means that any homeowner who has a UHE roof installed will never have to think about a new roof again in their lifetime.  Call UHE today and ask to speak with one of their highly-trained and very friendly roofing experts for all the particulars.

Of course, United Home Experts only uses the very best roofing products from the very best roofing products manufacturer – Owens Corning.  You don’t want inferior products on your home and neither does UHE.

That brings up one last point. Besides using only Owens Corning products on your roof, UHE also uses the very kbest, most highly-trained and skill roofing installers in the business.  They have to.  There is no other way to guarantee a roof for a lifetime.  Unfortunately, some of United Home Experts competitors don’t think your home deserves the very best when it comes to installers.  Some other roofing contractors here locally hire their installers from the back of a pick-up truck each morning at a local parking lot.  Do you want workers like that working on your home, around your family?

So what about cost?  The best cost more, right?  Not in this case.  United Home Experts roofs more homes and businesses than just about anyone else in this entire area.  That means they use a lot of roofing materials.

So much roofing material, in fact, that they demand and get the lowest wholesale price possible, allowing them to pass the savings on to Upton’s homeowners.  Check them out yourself.  Call United Home Experts and talk roofs with them.  Once you know they really are the roofing experts, then ask them about price.  You’ll be simply amazed!

I’m going to let you in on a little secret that not everyone in Northborough knows.  The best fishing in town is at Cold Harbor Brook.  Here’s the real secret: the best fishing times for Cold Harbor are 10:00 a.m. until noon; the second best time to catch anything is from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.  Keep that under your hat.

There are a lot of little things about Northborough that not everyone knows, but the pride that Northborough homeowners show in their homes and in their town is plain for everyone to see.  One aspect of that pride is in the way that local homeowners keep the roofs of their homes looking well-kept.  Keeping up the appearance of a home’s roof is one sure-fire sign that a homeowner really cares about a home.

Not just anyone can waltz into town and claim to be a roofing contractor.  The homeowners here demand a lot 8from any roofer in Northborough.  To begin with they want a roof that not only looks great but one which will last a lifetime – no one wants to re-roof a home, ever again.

Obviously any roofer in Northborough that plans to offer a lifetime guarantee on a roof will need to start with the highest-quality in roofing materials manufactured by the world-famous Certainteed Corporation.   That goes without saying.

Also, any local roofing contractor needs to have roots in Northborough.  In other words, a local roofer needs to have the best interests of both the homeowners and the town at heart.  He must have roofed hundreds of local homes and businesses and have a spotless reputation.

That’s a lot to ask for in a roofer, but the homeowners of Northborough demand nothing less.  Fortunately there is 9one roofing contractor here locally who measures up.  United Home Experts has roofed more homes here in Northborough than probably anyone else.  In fact, it is almost impossible to walk through Northborough’s lovely neighborhoods without spotting at least one home that has a United Home Experts’ roof on it.

If you want local references or testimonials, UHE has a file cabinet overflowing with them.  Just ask.

One reason local homeowners are so happy with United Home Experts is because they offer a lifetime guaranteed roof.  Naturally they use only the highest grade flashing, water-tight seals and shingles manufactured by none other than the Certainteed Corporation.  UHE not only guarantees its roof for a lifetime, their guarantee also includes labor.  Just ask one of UHE’s knowledgeable and super friendly roofing experts for all the details.

There’s one other reason United Home Experts can offer a lifetime guarantee on your roof.  It’s because they have the best roof installers in the business.  Each of their installers has been hand-picked and carefully trained.  Most of their roofing teams have been working together for years.  Unfortunately, some of UHE’s competitors don’t think you need that level of expertise when it comes to installing your roof.  Instead of using the same well-trained crews all the time, some local roofing contractors hire their installers by the day, picking them up every morning from some home center parking lot.  Are those the type of installers you want around your home…around your family?

The best usually costs more – but not in this case.  United Home Experts is probably the biggest roofer in this entire area so they buy their roofing materials in bulk, at deeply-discounted wholesale prices.  They then pass this savings on to the homeowners of Northborough.  So when you call United Home Experts try not to be too surprised at the price they quote you – or the lifetime guarantee on your new roof. For more information about our roof services, please visit our main roofing page!

Sometimes the biggest question you have is how to keep the kids happy in Needham.  The answer is simple.  Take them to The Kid’s Place (4 Fun) on Highland Place, behind Treat Cupcake Bar.  The Kid’s Place is awesome – your kids can mine for gems, make incredible one-of-a-kind Tie Dyed T-Shirts, paint plaster stuff and make all sorts of really cool from-the-heart gifts.

Needham is a magnificent place to raise a family.  One of the things which makes it charming and keeps it wonderful is the pride Needham homeowners have in keeping Needham a beautiful and delightful place to live.  Many things combine to make Needham the best place in the world to raise a family, but one way homeowners do this is by keeping their homes looking great.

That means keeping the roof of their home looking new.  Nothing detracts from a neighborhood faster than a ctr00prepdnlr0001mshabby-looking roof.  Of course, not just anyone can say they are a roofer in Needham and not just any contractor can walk into town and claim to be a Needham roofing contractor.

The people of Needham want a roofing contractor who has a real stake in the community, someone who genuinely cares about the people and the homes here.

Not to mention, they also want a roof that will last a lifetime – no one wants the aggravation and the cost of putting another roof on a home in just a few years.

So who is the #1 roofer in Needham?  For my money it’s United Home Experts for a number of very specific reasons.  First, they know Needham.  They have been roofing homes in Needham for years.  In fact, you would be hard-pressed to point to any Needham neighborhood that doesn’t have at least one home that has been roofed by United Home Experts.  You would also be hard-pressed to find any roofing contractor in Needham with more satisfied customers than United Home Experts.  If you need references or testimonials, UHE has a whole file cabinet filled with them!  No roofer in Needham has a better or a stronger reputation than United Home Experts.

One reason so many homeowners trust UHE is because of their unconditional lifetime roof guarantee.  Who blackroofshingleswants to worry about a roof ever again?  UHE’s lifetime guarantee even covers labor; call one of their friendly and knowledgeable roofing experts today for full details.

Naturally the only way they can offer a lifetime guarantee is by installing only the very highest grade roofing materials manufactured by the Certainteed Corporation, the recognized leader in roofing materials around the world.

Price is always a consideration, and employing the best usually costs more – but not necessarily in this case.  Why?  Because United Home Experts roofs more homes than just about anyone else in the entire Northeast.  That means they buy their roofing materials – their shingles, their water-seals and their flashing – at incredible wholesale savings and they pass those savings on to the homeowners of Needham.  That means UHE is often equal to if not lower than many of their competitors,

And speaking of their competitors, there is one final point that needs to be made.  The other reason UHE can offer a lifetime guarantee on a roof is because of the quality of the people they have installing their roofs.  The roofing teams at UHE have been together for years in many cases and each and every roofer has been hand-picked and thoroughly trained to do the best job possible in the least amount of time.  But some of UHE’s competitors have a different way of doing business.  Some of them hire their installers on the cheap, picking them up every morning in a pick-up truck from some home center parking lot.  Are those really the kinds of people you want working on your home, around your family?

When you call United Home Experts ask all the questions you want.  They are happy to answer any questions.  And try not to act completely surprised when they give you a quote.  Remember, the #1 roofer in Needham isn’t necessarily the most expensive. For more information about our roof services, visit our main roofing page!

Roofer in Medfield, MA 02052

It’s not often that virtually everyone in a town the size of Medfield can agree on anything, but in 1996 the voters of Medfield agreed overwhelmingly to purchase one of the most historic homes in Medfield – indeed, one of the most historic buildings in all of the United States – the Dwight-Derby House at 7 Frairy Street right here in Medfield.  The Dwight-Derby House is one of the oldest – if not the oldest – homes in the United States.  Parts of the home were built in the very year that Medfield became an incorporated town, in the year 1697.  The house was added to the state’s Historical Register in 2002.

There are four historical districts in Medfield encompassing dozens of beautiful and historically-important buildings.  But a home doesn’t have to be on the state’s Historical Register to be important and to deserve the best care possible.  Every home in Medfield is important to someone.

That’s why homeowners in Medfield are so adamant when it comes to keeping their homes looking their best, 4.1.1such as when it is time for a new roof.  Of course, being a roofer in Medfield means that you meet some very strict criteria.

For one thing it means that you have a stake in this community.  In other words, you must have ties to the town and you must have installed roofs on hundreds of local homes and have a spotless reputation.

It also means that you must offer a lifetime guaranteed roof.  After all, no homeowner in Medfield wants to spend the time and money putting on another roof in a few years.  Naturally it goes almost without saying that in order to install a lifetime guaranteed roof, a roofer in Medfield must use only the highest grade roofing materials and they must be manufactured by the Certainteed Corporation, the acknowledged leader in roofing products in the U.S.

Not many roofing contractors can say all of that, but United Home Experts can.  In fact, it would be almost ctr00prepdnlr0001bimpossible to walk or drive down any of Medfield’s beautiful streets without finding at least one home that has been roofed by the professional team at United Home Experts.  UHE has installed more roofs on Medfield homes than probably any other roofer around and they have literally hundreds of local testimonials to show to anyone interested in a new roof.

And because United Home Experts uses the very finest materials from the Certainteed Corporation, they are able to offer a 100% unconditional roof guarantee which includes labor.  That means once a homeowner chooses UHE they never have to even think about a new roof ever again.  Talk to the friendly roofing experts at United Home Experts for all the details.

Homeowners here in Medfield are very particular about the people they allow on their property, the people they shinglescutallow around their families, and United Home Experts agrees with that completely.

That’s why all of United Home Expert’s skilled installers have been hand-picked and carefully trained, and why UHE’s teams of roofer’s have worked together for so long.  It is unfortunate that the same sense of caring is not exhibited by all of UHE’s competitors.  Some local roofing contractors actually hire their workers from a local home center parking lot each morning and know virtually nothing about them.  Are those the type of workers you want installing your roof?

The best always costs the most, right?  That’s usually the case, but not necessarily when it comes to installing a new roof on your home.  The fact of the matter is, United Home Experts is one of the largest roofing companies in the entire Northeast which means they buy their roofing materials in huge bulk lots at the lowest price possible.  They then pass the savings on to the homeowners here in Medfield.  Don’t hesitate to ask United Home Experts about their unconditional roof guarantee, their low price and any other questions you have when you call them yourself to find out just how competitive the #1 Roofer in all of Medfield really is. For more information about our roofing services, visit our main roofing page!

The next time you are in downtown Walpole, on School Street just opposite the Town Hall, see if you can find an old fountain.  Today the fountain is dry, but back in the 1930s a woman by the name of Harriet Nevins donated $2,500 to have the fountain built to provide water for all the horses and dogs in town.  Now you know who donated the fountain and why.

Harriet Nevins was trying to make Walpole a nicer place to live when she donated the money for the town fountain, and that spirit still lives on today.  Today the homeowners of Walpole still want to make Walpole a nicer place to live.  One way they do that is by keeping the homes in Walpole looking their best.

Making certain that a home’s roof is in good shape is one way to keep a home looking its best.  When people look blackroofshinglesat neighborhoods here in town one of the first things that stands out is the conditions of a home’s roof.  A badly-kept roof equates with a badly-maintained home and badly-maintained homes equate badly with the entire town.

Of course, the homeowners here are choosy about any roofer in Walpole.  They need a roof that will last a lifetime because no one wants to roof a home a second time.  And, of course, homeowners here are well aware that in order to install a lifetime roof a roofing contractor needs to use the best roofing materials manufactured by the Certainteed Corporation.  Nothing less will do.

Another thing homeowners here in Walpole demand is a roofing contractor who has roots in the community andctr00prepdnlr0001m has the homeowners’ best interest at heart.

How do you find a roofer in Walpole who embodies all of those characteristics?  Fortunately you need look no further than United Home Experts.  They have roofed more homes right here in Walpole than just about anyone else and they have literally hundreds of local homeowners who are anxious to tell you what a wonderful job UHE did on their roof.

One of the reasons so many homeowners here in Walpole choose United Home Experts to roof their home is because UHE offers an unconditional lifetime roof warranty – which includes labor.  No company can make a guarantee like that unless they use the very best materials and United Home Experts uses only the top grade of shingles, water-tight seals and flashings all manufactured by none other than the Certainteed Corporation.  Talk with one of their knowledgeable and friendly roofing reps today for full details.

The last point is price. The best always costs more. Well – not always.  United Home Experts is one of the largest roofers in the Northeast so they buy roofing materials in bulk orders which means they get the best price possible from Certainteed and they pass those savings along.  That makes United Home Experts not only the best choice in local roofing contractors, but one of the best choices for low prices.  This is one time when the best doesn’t cost more!

One last observation.  You care about the people who work on your home and around your family, right?  So does United Home Experts.  Their teams of roof installers have worked together for years.  Each member of the team is highly skilled and has gone through rigorous training.  But unfortunately some of UHE’s competitors don’t care as much as you do about the people who work on your property – some local roofing contractors pick up their “skilled” roofers each morning from a home center parking lot.  Think about that.

So here is where the search for the best roofing contractor in Walpole has come: to United Home Experts. Give them a call today.  Tell them what your plans are and sound them out.  You may be pleasantly surprised by how knowledgeable, friendly and affordable they are.  And one last thing: they will get the job done right and on time.

Roofer in Acton, MA 01720

cutcertainteedroof

The Budster.  If you’ve ever had a sub sandwich at T.C. Lando’s Sub and Pizzaria down on Main then you know what I am talking about.  If you’ve never tried one – do.  Now.  This is just one reason that Money Magazine named Acton as the 16th best place to live in the entire country!  Yes – the people of Acton have a lot to be proud of!

One way the homeowners of Acton show their pride every single day of the year is by the way they keep up their homes.  Pride of ownership translates into pride for some many other aspects of life, including community.

Naturally all homeowners here in Acton want to have a water-tight and secure roof over their heads.  A poorly-4.1.1maintained roof not only reflects badly on the homeowner and upon the town, but a leaking roof greatly reduces the value of a home.

Of course, a roofer in Acton must meet some pretty stringent criteria before they will be accepted here.  For one thing a roofing contractor needs to offer a roof with a lifetime guarantee.  Homeowners here in Acton don’t want to re-roof a home a few years from now.

That means a roofer in Acton has to use only the highest grade of roofing materials manufactured by the #1 roofing manufacturer in the world, the Certainteed Corporation.  Second best simply won’t do.

And it should go without saying that any roofer in Acton must have deep roots in the community and be totally committed to the people and to the homes of this area.

Does any roofing contractor in the area measure up to all of that?  Can any roofer measure up?  Fortunately the CTR00PREPDNLR0001Banswer is YES.  United Home Experts has been roofing homes here in Acton for more years than anyone cares to remember.  They have installed more new roofs on Acton homes than probably anyone else – and they have a file cabinet filled with very happy homeowners to prove it.  Just ask them.

United Home Experts offers a new roof to Acton homeowners with an unlimited lifetime warranty – and that includes labor.  Obviously no company with the unparalleled reputation of UHE can offer a lifetime warranty on a new roof unless they install only the very best roofing materials, the highest grade shingles, flashing and water-tight barriers manufactured by none other than the Certainteed Corporation.  Call in today and talk with one of United Home Expert’s roofing specialists to get all the details.

It takes more than just the best materials in the world to offer an unlimited guarantee on a roof.  It also requires ctr00prepdnlr0001mthe most skilled roof installers in the business.  Most of UHE’s roofing installers have been with the company for years; they work as a team, like a well-oiled machine.  Not all local roofing contractors are this committed to the people of Acton.  Some local roofers hire they installers as day laborers.  They pick them up every morning from some parking lot.  Is that the kind of installers you want around your family and your home?
