What affects the price

Several things change the final bill when you replace a roof. The total area of your home is the biggest factor, followed by the specific materials you choose, like asphalt shingles versus metal or tile. We also look at the pitch or slope of your roof and how many layers of old material need to be pulled off before we start. If there is hidden wood rot or damaged decking underneath, that adds to the labor and supplies required.

About this service

Roofing tar is a thick, viscous substance used as a sealant or adhesive for repairs, particularly around flashings and chimneys. It is effective for emergency leak patching because it hardens into a waterproof barrier. You generally use this when you need to seal small gaps or secure loose flashing quickly. While it is a useful temporary fix, it is not a substitute for proper structural repairs. It is best used as a stop-gap measure until a professional can perform a permanent fix.

Frequently asked in Fresno

What roofing materials are best suited for Fresno's climate?

For Fresno's climate, materials that withstand intense heat and sun are crucial. Asphalt shingles are common and affordable, but look for those with good UV resistance. Metal roofing, especially with reflective coatings, is highly durable and energy-efficient. Tile roofs, like clay or concrete, also handle the heat well and offer a classic look. We can help you find pros who recommend the best materials for your home.

Roofing nails are specially designed fasteners used to secure shingles and other roofing materials to the roof deck. In Fresno's climate, the right type and number of nails are critical for holding shingles in place against strong winds and heat expansion. Using the correct nails and ensuring they are driven properly prevents premature shingle blow-offs and leaks. Professional installers use the right nails for durability. We can help you find them.
