"I was so impressed with every part of this process! The crew of 5 completed the job in one day! They were efficient, professional, and meticulous in their work and in their clean up. They worked very well as a team and were responsive to my questions and my requests. They were of good cheer throughout. Great guys! They were wonderful!!! Tyler, my Project Manager, was beyond amazing! He was always accessible for me and very generous with his time and support. He answered my every question, was a great problem solver and made me feel like I was in good hands throughout … and, indeed, I WAS! His customer service was A+++… to the MAX! Home Genius Exteriors is well represented with Tyler! And, also, with Matthew, the salesman who was very thorough in his inspection of my roof situation. He explained things well and made me feel very confident in choosing Home Genius Exteriors. My gratitude also goes out to Sakshi, who came to my door and helped set up an appointment."

"Someone from Planet Roof came to my parents' house to give them an estimate for a roof (shingle) replacement (1,900 sf). After spending over an hour looking around, the gentleman gave my dad an estimate for $37,000! After my dad declined, he then dropped his estimate 2 more times and said the lowest he can go is $14,000. When my dad asked why he didn't start that low, he replied "well some people will pay the $37,000". He also went on to tell my dad how this was an investment, and he wouldn't get anything lower (keep in mind my dad is a disabled senior on a fixed income). When my dad told him he already received a quote from another company for $8,500 - he was followed by questions of who was that cheap and asked why my dad would even have him come out (when every company should know that most people would/should get multiple estimates). Do NOT recommend this company!"

Roofing professionals can usually install a medium-sized asphalt shingle roof in two to three days. Installation time increases if your roof is particularly steep or difficult to access or has features like chimneys or skylights that roofers must work around.
Three-tab asphalt shingles usually have the lowest upfront cost of any roofing shingle material. They’re sturdy and typically last 15 to 20 years. However, they may have a shorter lifespan in especially hot or cold climates. Talk to a local roofing professional about the best materials for your climate. In some cases, materials with a higher upfront cost may save you more on repairs or replacements in the long run.
Start by multiplying the length by the width of your roof to calculate the square footage. Most shingle replacement costs $4 to $12 per square foot for materials and labor, depending on factors like the material and the slope of your roof. Once you know the size of your roof, you can calculate a rough estimate of total costs or contact a local roofing professional to provide you with a custom quote.
Asphalt shingles are generally considered to be a low-maintenance item. However, cleaning your asphalt roofing can help prolong the lifespan and keep it looking fresh. If you’re comfortable with DIY and have the proper equipment, you may be able to clean your asphalt shingles yourself. However, if you have an especially high or steep roof, it’s usually safer to hire a professional roof cleaner.
