1.00Do you know a good wood shingle roofing contractor in the Chicago area?
Q.West suburbs preferred but any one will do.
Thanks!
A.I am a natural slate roofing contractor located in south florida. i'm from michigan and i'm currently installing teak wood shingles in the bahamas for Art Wirtz Jr who's from chicago. i don't know of any good wood shingle guys in chicago off hand but i know of the perfect place to find one. you see the worst thing you could do is hire a shingle contractor for the job. those guys install cheap, temporary roofing and simply don't have the skills to properly install natural roofs. i belong to a nationwide community of slaters which has a great website. we have a message board where slaters talk to each other and homeowners go for great advise. there is also a list of contractors who haven't just paid their fees but have actually PROVEN themselves to be real craftsmen when it comes to roofs. i'll post the site below. good luck and great choice!!
1.00Has anyone used a roofer who was experienced with flat roofs?
Q.I am looking for a roofer who has specific extensive experience with flat roofs that you can recommend from personal experience.
A.It would help to know where you are located. You can call the local BBB for references for roofers. You can find smaller companies on the builder bulletin boards at places like Lowes or Home Depot. A roofing supplier will have one of these boards too. Most will not recommend any one company, hence the use of the board for their business cards. Make sure and check references of other customers they've done work for. Flat roofs can be tricky and will tend to leak if not done correctly. Good luck.
1.00Is it safe to walk on a metal roof of a metal building?
Q.I'm looking to buy a metal warehouse building. The walls and roof are dirty and need cleaning. While the structure is plenty sound, I'm wondering how safe it is to walk on the roof. I was wondering if all metal roofs are built strong enough to support a person walking on it.
For other types of roofs in colder climates, building codes specify a load capacity to hold up under snow. Here in Houston, such support does not apply. As the roof itself is very light, it doesn't need to be very strong to shed off rain.
A.I've done a lot of work on metal roofs, and i have only came across 1 that was too thin to walk on. it wasn't that it wouldn't support me either, (230lbs) it just bent, and dented when i walked on it. this just simply made it look ugly... feel a corner or edge if you can find one. if you can bend it easily with your fingers, it's too thin, but if it's quite rigid, and you can't bend it without plyers, it should hold up to your boots!
not sure where you are, but where i am, we are starting to get frost. take EXTRA care on those metal roofs during this coming winter season!
1.00How much do contractors charge to install steel roofing without removal of existing panels?
Q.I have picked some steel roofing out and I was wondering what price range I should expect to get. I have two very simple gable roofs one is 17sq. and the other one is 8 sq. I am planning on going over existing shingles, so no removal is needed. I am going to purchase all the materials at a local steel supplier.
A.If you are going over shingles, only one layer I assume, you still have to have a layer of wood nailers. Your deck needs to be a minimum of 5/8" where as most roofs only have a deck made of 1/2".
Before you purchase the steel make sure your roof can accommodate the steel. Most can but it is a bit more complicated than just laying the sheets of steel down.
I would suggest you contact 3 contractors and ask for estimates. The cost for labor should be about equal to that of an asphalt shingled roof.
Where I live roofers charge by the square, between $35.00 and $45.00 per square plus materials. When you get a quote make sure they include all prep work etc.

Apart from cost what are the pros & cons

Wood Roofs
As far as wood roofing is concerned, cedar roofing is the most popular choice because of its water and decay resistant properties. Cedar roofing typically comes in two forms...sophisticated cedar shakes and cedar shingles, which has a more jagged appearance. Most people find cedar to be a very attractive wood. Its aesthetic properties, light brown and honey toned variations, make it a great choice to add to the appearance of your Jacksonville, FL area home. These aesthetic properties, combined with the natural resiliency of cedar, make cedar shingles and shakes by far the most popular selection for wood roofing materials. Cedar roofing is known to greatly reduce energy bills due to energy efficient features. Cedar both helps to keep in warmth during cold periods and to keep heat out during the heat of the Jacksonville summer. Cedar roof shingles and shakes are also resistant insects and are less susceptible to moss growth than other roofing materials. This makes cedar roofing a great choice for your home! Our Jacksonville, Florida area specialist roofing contractors bring years of expertise to the table and are here to help you with all your wood roofing needs, including those involving roofing estimate.
Although red cedar is a superior roofing material and comes with a host of insect repellent and moisture resistant properties, these qualities may diminish in strength after a while. It’s therefore essential to undertake some minimal but regular maintenance and cleaning of your cedar roofing to ensure your roofing maintains its resilience for years to come. To keep away mold and mildew that may form as a result of rains use a solution of trisodium phosphate and water and use this solution to scrub away mold with a soft bristled brush. Alternatively you can also use zinc based herbicides. Use a garden hose to hose down your cedar roofing to remove any traces of the chemicals in the cleaning solution.
