Tore off 3 layers of old roof and installed a new lightweight concrete roof and two large skylights.
After the last big rainstorm this year, I’d had enough of our old roof. Angie’s list provided a top notch company. I was impressed by the
hundreds of good reviews and called for a quote. Jay came out the next day and measured. He gave me a quote right on the spot for a
composition roof and then said he would call the next day with a quote for lightweight concrete roof which he said would enhance the look of our home. I live on a street that I didn’t want to drop the property values by having a premium asphalt roof installed but I thought I
couldn’t afford anything better than a composition roof. When Jay provided the quote for the lightweight concrete tile, it was less than the composition roof. I was surprised that I could get a premium quality concrete tile roof for less than the premium composition roof. I was
sold.
I had a few items I wanted in the contract and Jay put them in. I signed the contract electronically and Jay pulled the building permits the following day. The work started the next week with the tear off of the old roof. Three layers of old roof. It took the hard working tear-off crew 3 days to get it all off. Two layers of wood shingles and one layer of composition shingles. Then they had to put full sheathing over
the roof and repair damaged wood everywhere. The roof was a big one at about 90 squares (9,000 square feet). The men worked a solid two weeks to complete the job. What a fantastic result.
I was concerned about how the new concrete tile roof would look when compared to the richness of the old heavy shake roof. I was in for a
surprise. The new roof has greatly enhanced the look of our home. It looks rich and expensive. The value of the house just went up. The
neighborhood values have increased.
The men cleaned up daily after themselves and when the job was completed, they had an extra man come out just to make sure the yards were
clean and no small debris was missed. They were great and I was thoroughly impressed.
I heartily recommend Above It All Roofing, Inc.
