Orezona was the roofing subcontractor to G Christianson Construction. Originally, I was thinking of a metal roof for longevity, least maintenance, and recyclability. However, that was quite expensive due to the labor involved with the cutouts for skylights, fan, various protrusions, and the multiple angles of the roof. Fortunately, they also gave bids for 2 quality levels of composition shingles and noted various colors and styles were available. Their bid was on the higher side, but I'd also heard their reputation was very good. When you put on a roof, its worksmanship that counts the most. I chose an architectural, light colored, mid-upper level IKO shingle and got the heavier tarpaper. <br /> Jason's crew worked like beavers even on days that were hot! They had the old roofing off and new tarpaper up on the first day, let the tarpaper rest the next day, then did flashing, ridge venting, fascia, and most shingles the next day, finishing with the rest of the roof, eave vents, painting, and a few other odds and ends the last day. On the days they worked, they were working from 08:00 to sundown with not much break time for lunch. <br /> The shingles and ridge vents were very nicely aligned and cut to the proper overhang. The pattern and color goes very well with the exterior paint color. I was impressed with how much change the roofing can make in the appearance of the house. Fascia facing was cut and hung square. They spray painted the plastic vent ducts sticking out of the roof with a metallic color to make them appear like metal - nice touch! And they chose metal roof vents with decently matching color for the shingles. <br /> A couple of issues Orezona caught. One new skylight window was manufactured out of square and another was cracked. Rather than install them like a less responsible roofer might, they had replacements ordered and later came back to install them. The old attic roof fan had a plastic housing that looked like metal. But it cracked up when they tried to remove it. They were able to put in a new replacement that had a slight better cfm and an all metal housing. <br /> Getting the fan thermostat adjusted correctly is a bit of a challenge. The standard mechanical one that came with the fan turns on about 5 F above setting and shuts off 5 F below setting. Additionally, the accuracy of the pointer setting can be about +- a few degrees. The stock thermostat setting causes the fan to run too much, but setting it too high prevents it from starting up. I have to fiddle with it this summer to try to optimize this. I recall when I installed the previous one about 10 yrs ago, it was a pain to find the appropriate setting I'd recommend looking around (such as on eBay) for a digital fan thermostat which allows you more accuracy in the setting and has tighter on/off trigger points. <br /> I'll check this summer, but I think the lighter shingle color also will reduce the solar heat gain. It would really cook up there even when the outside temperature was in the low 80s. <br /> Roofing makes lot of trash and they were diligent about picking up at the end of the day. That was nice. They even blew off the roof,raingutters, and concrete areas. At the end they swept the yard with a big magnet to pick up most of the nails/staples. They carted away nearly 2 truckloads total. Nevertheless, there's going to be some staples that are hard to see, so make sure you clean out the raingutters after the first couple rains. <br /> Orezona came back once to put down a shingle that was sticking up due to a bend in a flashing and to fix up a gouge in the siding due to the removal of the adjacent old shingles. <br /> This was the first winter and spring for the new roof. No leaks. <br /> Orezona was courteous, advised on what they would be doing, and easy to work with. <br /> <br />
