H & R has access to all roofing shingles and products, but over the years we have identified certain manufacturers that prove to be superior. Some of our favorite roofing manufacturers include IKO, Certainteed, and ELK. We use primarily architectural shingles (also known as dimensional shingles) because of the benefit one receives versus standard three-tab or strip shingles. Architectural shingles have become very popular in the past 10 years, and there is a small difference in price between three tab shingles and architectural shingles—about $300 on the average house. In addition, architectural shingles have a more attractive profile that looks more like real wood shakes or slate. Sometimes more important than the shingles themselves are the underlayments and accessories that are used to protect your roof.
Here at H & R we are committed to going the extra mile when it comes to completing the installation of a new roof on your home. Many roofing contractors cut corners on accessories because it saves them lots of money on the job, and for the most part, most homeowners would not know that anything is missing. Common things that are left out are rake edging, ice and water barriers, a wood shingle drip course, new aluminum vent pipe flashing, new step flashing, proper soffit vents, ridgevents, and sometimes even felt paper. As one notices, there are many extras that can easily be left out. Any one of these accessories, if left out, can result in major leaks and seriously jeopardize the integrity of your new roof. Also, many roofing manufactures will not warranty roofs that are missing some these key elements.
Our goal at H & R is to install a roofing system that is complete with all of the necessary accessories that will make it last. We recommend products that possess the greatest value for your dollars. Many roofing contractors are concerned with being the cheapest—we just want to be the best! More important, we want to do an excellent job and continue a good relationship with our customers.
