Many contractors get themselves a hammer and think they are a contractor. Many have little experience or knowledge. This sets things up for a bad contractor-customer relationship. I have been doing roofing and contracting all my life and it was previously my father's business, which was started in 1940. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering from Drexel University. I have a great urge to teach and make sure the public doesn't get ripped off. I am an "expert" on a web site (AllExperts.com) where people can submit questions in any category to an expert and get answers to their questions. I get paid nothing for this and the public pays nothing for it. I do it simply because I want to help the homeowner who is in need. Check out my web site at www.ZachariaRoofing.com and you will see that I am like nothing you've ever seen before. Note: References section below is blank because I think references are a waste of time. I'M THE ONE SUPPLYING THE REFERENCES. Naturally I'm only going to give you the good ones. Even the worst roofer can come up with at least a few. Any references listed by a contractor are already known to be willing to supply only a good opinion. There are better methods to research a contractor - see my web site.
"Very professional and reasonable."

Clear your gutters after heavy storms or at least twice a year. If pines surround your home, bump that to every four months. Sweep loose debris off the roof whenever you see it, and schedule a professional roof and gutter cleaning when dirt starts to build up. Flat roofs trap leaves and standing water quickly, so staying ahead of clogs helps prevent leaks.
A well-maintained flat roof can last up to 25 years. Regular inspections, thorough cleaning of drainage systems, and prompt debris removal help ensure that your flat roof remains durable and performs reliably throughout its lifespan. Maintaining tight seals and applying appropriate protective coatings further secures the roof’s integrity over time, making these essential practices vital for long-term performance.
Flat roofs offer significant advantages and present certain challenges. They deliver economic benefits through reduced material and labor costs, and they enable creative outdoor living configurations. However, flat roofs also exhibit disadvantages such as a tendency for water pooling, diminished attic space, vulnerability in snowy conditions, and an elevated risk of leaks if seals are compromised. Maintaining the roof with professional inspections and precise upkeep helps overcome these challenges.
Flat roof replacement is covered by homeowner’s insurance only when damage results from a specific event, such as a storm or accident. Your policy covers the replacement if the injury is caused by a qualifying incident rather than normal deterioration or maintenance lapses. Review your policy carefully and confirm with your insurer to accurately determine your coverage.
