"One of the worst companies I have EVER dealt with in my life. Nothing but runaround, lies, and lack of accountability. They will tell you something over the phone, then when you follow-up, they will magically lose all records of prior conversations. I was told replacement windows would be ordered in June 2024 - never ordered. In January, ordered correctly with 4-6 week expedited delivery time quoted. Now in Feb, was told the windows would not be ready until end of March (total of nearly 11 weeks since order). Magically, they have no record of quoting me 4-6 weeks, though I have email records saying otherwise. Just a miserable company to do business with, would never recommend to any homeowner."

A little about Skyway Exteriors I have been heavily involved in the construction trades since I was sixteen years old. During that time I have installed thousands of replacement roofing projects. I owe much of my success to all of the quality tradesmen, coaches, teachers and family members that have helped me over the years. I work hand in hand with my crews. When it comes to protecting your home from Southeastern Massachusetts, you can trust we have the expertise. Our strategically sized operation enables us to give you the personal relationship you deserve and the quality workmanship that you require. Skyway Exteriors, specializes in residential roofing. From our initial visit we will always give you an honest opinion at what condition your roof is in. We can identify whether you are a candidate for replacement roofing or a roofing repair service. We will always recommend a solution that fits your needs and budget. In our experience we typically see roofs failing because of inferior products, poor workmanship and ventilation issues. Most residential roofs are replaced, or at least repaired, every ten years. By carefully choosing your residential roofing material, as well as choosing a professional roofing contractor, you can help reduce the cost of replacement or push it far into the future.
"Tony is a great guy - friendly and a good communicator - answers the phone and responds to messages. The repair was quickly implemented at a fair price."

"We chose Golden Group Construction because they replaced our neighbor's roof a few months earlier so I had watched them work and watched the clean-up. Our large skylight was damaged and began leaking after Tropical Storm Elsa in July, and we had a battle with our insurance company which delayed hiring a roofing contractor. We asked 3 roofing contractors for proposals. Xavier was terrific; he paid close attention to the particular problems of our very old house (1899), he recommended the new Velux solar skylight and explained the tax rebate, the proposal was correct. We asked him about replacing some leaking gutters and rotted facia boards, he added that quickly. We had to wait a while for the new skylight to come in, it was delayed because of COVID. And then they scheduled us quickly. The crew showed up on time, they worked very hard and did excellent work. The quality of the workmanship was excellent. Xavier thought our roof had 2 layers of asphalt shingles. Once they started tearing off the old roof they discovered 3 layers! That wasn't a problem, no upcharge. Xavier was able to schedule the gutter fabricator come a few days in advance to drop off the gutters so I could paint them on the ground (our trim is not white) before installation, which saved us hiring a house painter just for that. They did a great job cleaning up, which is unusual for a roof replacement (I had a very bad experience with a previous house I owned). They were so careful, there was no damage at all to the exterior of our house or our landscaping. They provided us with very detailed written instructions to prepare our house in advance. That was very helpful. We used their 18 month no-interest financing, which was really important because we were not planning ahead to replace the roof and we could apply for their financing and get approval very quickly. Much more quickly than if we'd applied for a home equity line of credit (that would have taken 6 weeks). I highly recommend them."

Consider your budget, desired appearance, and durability needs. Wood, clay, or slate shingles make a striking impression for great curb appeal. Metal or composite shingles offer exceptional durability in humid climates. If you're looking for a cost-effective option that balances performance and affordability, asphalt shingles are a popular choice.
Professional roofers can install a straightforward asphalt shingle roof in one to three days. Complex designs or steep roofs may take up to a week, especially when using specialized materials that require extra care.
While it's possible to install new shingles over an existing layer, most building codes limit this to two layers of shingles. Overlaying shingles doesn't offer the same protection as a full replacement and may affect warranties and appearance. A complete removal is recommended for the best results.
The lifespan of a shingle roof depends on the material and environment. Asphalt shingles typically last around 20 years. Composite, vinyl, and wood shingles can last up to 50 years. Durable materials like clay and metal may last 80 years with proper maintenance, and slate roofs can endure for up to 100 years.
