"Not well and I would not recommend them or hire them again. I decided to go with Midwest Exteriors out of Brookfield, WI. In addition to providing a roof, I also ordered windows to replace the original 1928 windows in the home. They did state up front that it might take a while for the windows as custom windows are having supply issues. Fine. In October, I came home to roofing supplies in my front yard. A quick called confirmed they would be here the next day to install the roof. Prior to agreeing to this, I had expressed concern that I need ALL of the waste materials, especially the nails, be completely cleaned up as I have multiple dogs. I was assured they are known for their thorough clean up after a project. The project ended up taking two days, which would have been fine but no one on the team said anything to me; a call to the owner of the company promised follow-up. Indeed, they were coming back the next day. They did a very poor clean-up as I found pieces of shingles and many nails in the backyard, driveway, and in my front bushes. Again, I called the owner, James, who said he would talk to the team and it would be remedied as they are known for their thorough clean up. Even after the second day, the clean up was mediocre at best. Again, I complained. In January, I was snow blowing my driveway and discovered a HUGE icicle hanging from my downspout- the roofers had knocked it loose and not replaced it. Also in January, I got a call that my windows were in and we set an install of February 1st and 2nd. When they set up the first window, it was missing woodwork that I had requested being included as it was on the original windows. The installers assured me it was an easy fix so the project continued; had I known they COULDN'T fix the windows, I would have stopped the install and had them replace the original windows. They also stated they would come back and fix the downspout. Now it's May, they can't/won't fix the windows as I requested and they haven't fixed the downspout. As such, I am holding the final $10,000 payment until they at least fix the downspout (which they promised to do nearly 6 months ago)."

To determine the number of trusses you need, measure the full length of the roof ridge, convert that length to inches, and divide by 24 (the standard on-center spacing). Always round up to give the structure full support and add a few extras for overhangs or complex rooflines. This approach keeps your roof strong and code-compliant.
Start by measuring the span—the full width of the roof’s underside—then note the pitch, or how many inches the roof rises for every 12-inch run. Accurate span and pitch numbers help your supplier size each truss correctly, saving lumber and ensuring the roof performs as it should. Your roofing pro will be able to provide accurate measurements for you.
A three-person crew with the right lifting equipment can set a full set of trusses in a single day. Complex roof shapes or limited crane access can stretch that timeline, so talk with your roofer about the schedule and whether you’ll need to stay elsewhere during installation. Careful planning keeps the job safe and on target.
Trusses are prefabricated off-site, arrive ready to lift into place, and install faster and more consistently than site-built rafters. Rafters are custom-cut on-site by skilled carpenters, so they take longer and cost more in labor. Knowing the trade-offs—speed and uniformity versus on-site customization—helps you pick the best framing method for your roof.
If you’re not a licensed roofer, hire a pro. Installing trusses requires heavy equipment, safety gear, and code knowledge that most DIYers lack. While doing it yourself might trim labor costs, one mis-set truss can lead to expensive repairs or voided warranties. A certified contractor installs trusses quickly, follows code, and protects your home’s value.
