1) Roofing

ASPHALT SHINGLES

They take over an overwhelming share of the U.S. residential market. There is one main known reason for that – the cost. Asphalt shingles are least expensive roofing alternative. When choosing a roofing material for your home, you will try to balance four considerations: cost, durability, aesthetics and architectural style. There are many brands and styles from which you can choose to satisfy your aesthetic needs. The low cost of the shingles comes unfortunately with the price, the asphalt shingles are a temporary roofing material. It means that at the end of the shingles life span you have to plan their replacement.

What are the signs showing that the replacement is needed?

You can determine wear and deterioration on an asphalt roof when the mineral granules wear off and black asphalt shows through. Another sign of wear is when the shingles’ corners and edges begin to curl and crack. When only a few shingles show this kind of wear, reroofing may not be necessary. However, if one out of every five to ten shingles has deteriorated in these ways, it is likely time to re-roof. Postponing the roof replacement may lead to farther costs coming from: decking deteriorating or mold grow, rafter, trusses damage, attic insulation damage, ceiling damage.

When it comes to choose which shingles to install you have a choice of organic shingles, fiberglass shingles and laminated dimensional shingles? The fire resistance of asphalt shingles is categorized by Class A, B, or C. Class A is the most fire resistant. Generally, most fiberglass shingles have a Class A fire rating, while most organic have Class C fire rating. Both organic and fiberglass products are available in laminated, architectural grades that offer a textured appearance. All shingles offered by our company are fiberglass shingles and most of our customers choose laminated products. But if you choose savings on your new roof – the traditional 3-Tab design is mostly cheaper by about $10 per 100 square feet.

It is of highest importance to choose the roofing crew who knows and applies manufacturer’s specifications and building codes when installing your asphalt shingle roof. Bad installation very often results in a need of roof replacement soon after installing the roof. Asphalt shingles seal to one another so you cannot remove them and reinstall the same material. Generally, material is wasted after a bad install. This is why all our employees are trained how to install the material properly and have the average 12 years of experience.

FLAT ROOFING

A flat roof, as its name suggests, is nearly horizontal roofing, an extremely low sloped. Flat roofs are generally easier and quicker for a carpenter to build and use fewer roofing materials, which could potentially save a lot of money. The biggest problem with flat roofs is their tendency to cause leaks. The good news is that there are new flat roofing materials available which change all of that. Flat roofing systems were typically made from asphalt, tar and gravel. Recently tar and gravel materials are becoming less popular. These roofs can be extremely sensitive to human traffic or weather and since newer, more advanced materials are available, people tend to choose them more and more often. Our company installs following flat roofing systems:

Build-Up Roofing

Modified Bitumen

EPDM Single-Ply Membrane

Thermoplastic PVC and TPO Single Ply Roofing Membranes

Roof Insulation

Best-4-U Inc is proud to be an experienced installer of all, more traditional as well as new highly technically advanced flat roofing systems.

SLATE ROOFS

Synthetic, plastic and rubber roofs are simply wonderful. Many homeowners desire to have a real, stone roof over their heads for their beauty and value. Unfortunately, their high price and heavy weight which often requires additional structural support put the stone slates out of their reach. Today’s plastic or rubber slates look exactly like real slate, come most often with 50 year/ lifetime warranties, are lightweight, and installation takes much less time. Their great advantage lays also in the wide variety of brands, colors and shapes. You can do beautiful, distinctive and colorful things with synthetic slate.

REAL STONE SLATE

Stone slates roofs are considered to be the world’s finest roofs. They have a track record that goes thousands of years, spans entire world and lasts for centuries. They are fireproof, natural and beautiful. These are simple roofs made of rock over roof ingeniously successful. The slate roofs originated in Europe. They are valued there enough that are still in good repair after several centuries. They are valued so much that some European laws prevent people from replacing slate roofs with cheaper substitutes. If nothing else, just the fact that a great number of European churches and castles are covered with slate gives the slate the best references.

You need to hire a real responsible roofing crew to install your slate roof since there is so much that they need to know about the material they are about to install. Bad installs are the main reason of the slate roof failure.

SHAKE ROOFS

Isn’t the wood shake or wood shingle a product that was most commonly used and seen in our neighborhood 100 years ago? This historic, natural appeal as well as a common believe that cedar shakes last long is a main reason why many homeowners are desiring to have a wood shake roof installed on their homes. Real cedar shingles and shakes are also perennial favorites for roofs because of their natural, rustic appearance. Shingles, the thinner of the two, have smooth, sawn surfaces. Shakes may be either sawn or hand-split for a more rugged appearance.

There are few things you should consider when deciding for a wood shingle or shake roof: •In fire-prone areas, wood shingles and shakes may require pressure treatment with fire retardant or may be forbidden entirely.

•In humid climates, where fungus and mildew can be a problem, wood roofs should be treated with a fungicide after the first year (you can also buy types pretreated with preservatives).

Wood shingles are available in a variety of shapes, including fish- scale, cove, and V-cut patterns.

Wood shakes, with deeply grooved textures that allow for air circulation, may be applied over solid sheathing with interlays of 30-pound roofing felt. Some shakes may be applied over open sheathing.

You might be concerned about the fact that wood shingles and shakes are not lasting as long as they used to because the old trees are gone and new products are made from faster growing, new trees. You also might be looking for a more “green�, recyclable product – preservative treated wood cannot be recycled. And you do not like the everlasting wasp problem or other attic intruders. But you still like this old, rusty appearance. Your option might be to look into metal shakes that resemble wood shakes or synthetic shakes. Please check the metal roofing section for metal shakes remembering that the costs for cedar roof and metal roof might be comparable. Synthetic shakes are also a great choice. Manufacturers offer a variety of products which resemble wood shakes, are covered with lifetime, 50 year warranties and which do not change color over time.

Please let us know if you are interested in any of shake products and we will offer all answers to your questions.

2) Storm And Hail Damage

Wind and Hail Damages to our Roofs and Siding are very common in our area. Hail as small as 0.75� can significantly damage your roofing or siding systems. The damage is not always obvious to an average person. Sometimes homeowners notice leaking and/ or structural damage to the house after several years. This is because the material could sustain cracks during the storm which become bigger with time and cause the roof or siding to fail.

Wind damage is much more obvious. When you notice missing or loose pieces on your roof or siding you should contact a specialist to inspect and plan the necessary repairs or replacements to prevent more serious damages to your property.

In almost every case of wind and hail damage the homeowner’s insurance will cover all the costs of repair and replacement. We specialize in helping homeowners through insurance claim process to ensure that all damages are accessed correctly and completely. First, we schedule a free inspection to determine if the property has in fact sustained the damages before we would advise to open or not an insurance claim.

The benefits of choosing our company: •Professional, experienced craftsmanship.
•Total removal of all existing roofing and or siding down to the decking.
•Install of new systems which will make your home look beautiful.
•Energy Savings systems available to save you money on your utility bills.
•Just the BEST for you

3) Commercial And Industrial Roofing

4) Metal Roofing

Metal roofing has been used for centuries in Europe. It is also the most popular roofing material there nowadays. It has also long been used in commercial and industrial applications in US. But metal roofing is just starting to become popular in residential applications in US. One reason is a long life span and extreme durability of this product even under the most extreme weather conditions. Metal roofing requires almost zero maintenance. With fewer leaks and repairs, metal roofing saves money in the long run. It is widely agreed that it is the least expensive roofing material over the long time. By not having to replace your roofing system in your lifetime, you can save yourself an enormous amount of time and money. Metal roofing materials are made from lightweight metals like steel, aluminum and copper. They can be easily installed by certified and licensed roofing contractor. Its big advantage is that the light weight of metal panels allows it to be installed over existing roofing materials, eliminating any disposal problems associated with re-roofing. Metal roofs are highly resistant to damage from the elements and frequently last 50 years and more. They are also highly fire resistant which is an advantage giving home occupants time for escape. Another reason why metal roofs are becoming so popular is their tremendous energy savings characteristic. As a roofing material metal reflects heat away from the house, which lowers your cooling costs. Typical roofing materials like asphalt shingles have a tendency to actually absorb sunlight. Furthermore asphalt shingles retain the hot much longer which heats up the house.

Best-4-U Inc can install a roof made virtually from almost any metal, but the most popular choices are:

Steel
Aluminum
Copper
The styles installed by Best-4-U Inc. are:
Metal Shingles and Slate
Metal Shake
Vertical Panels / Standing Seam Panels
Metal Tile
Why do people choose metal roofs?
Long Lasting and Long Warranted
Asphalt can require reroofing every 10 to 20 years. The average life of most other roofing materials is 17 years. There are metal roofing products available which might become the last roof installed on your home. Most metal roofing comes with a true 30 to 50 year manufacturer warranty.

Strong and Durable
Almost any non metal roofing product will start to deteriorate as soon as it is exposed to such elements as UV rays of sun, temperature changes, ice damming. A metal roof will never deteriorate. Almost every roofing product is vulnerable to severe storms and high winds. Metal roof can withstand almost everything that the weather changes can bring.

Valuable Investment
While the initial cost for a good quality metal roof is higher than for an asphalt shingle roof, you will save money over the long run. A metal roof can last a lifetime while an asphalt shingle roof requires regular replacements. A metal roof increases the resale value of your home. Also most homeowners insurances lower the insurance premiums significantly.

Energy Efficient
Metal roofs in light colors as well as these covered with so called “cool� coatings reflect heat effectively and lower cooling costs in the summer. Metal roofs have also insulating values during the winter time.

Beautiful
The great variety of metal roofing products can guaranty you that there is a metal roofing style, color and finish to match your home.

Green, Recyclable
All metal roofing products are recyclable. Studies show that there are three full grown cedar trees destroyed for one average cedar shake roof. Asphalt shingles buried in landfills will take over 300 years to decompose.

Best-4-U Inc. is proud to be an experienced and manufacturer certified roofing company of most metal roofing products.
