"I had Martino Home Improvements replace my roof back in 2020, which the initial installation had a fair amount of issues ranging from improper tarping of the roof during the installation, which ended up with rain pouring into my house when it rained. Since the repair I have now had leaks and in multiple places along with improper venting, which has meant rusty nails and ice forming on nails, after spending 30k on the replacement they are now looking for another 1,450 to add more venting to fix their install. I am not impressed and wouldn't recommend them."

WeatherGard is a family owned and operated business that has been providing exceptional service and the highest quality products and installation to Michigan for nearly 30 years. Our Michigan made commercial grade vinyl windows stand the test of time. Unlike other companies, WeatherGard manufactures the windows it sells, giving homeowners the opportunity to purchase our commercial grade windows directly from the factory and not through a dealer or other middle man. WeatherGard also installs roofing, insulation, entry doors, siding and gutters.
"Here’s the revised review reflecting the clarification: I’m very disappointed with my experience. During the first visit, I was given a verbal quote but nothing in writing. I had them come back out to quote our bay window, but during both visits, the window above our kitchen sink was missed. I was later contacted by the sales office via calls and texts, stating they could do the job for $. I specifically confirmed that this price included all windows, including the bay window. However, when the salesman returned, he identified that the window above the kitchen sink had been missed and claimed they couldn’t honor the price. I was never provided with a formal quote to review and verify for accuracy. The new price jumped nearly 3k, and although I offered to split the difference, this was declined. This kind of inconsistent communication and unprofessional handling of the pricing is unacceptable."

Yes, tile roofs are generally more expensive than other roofing options because they require skilled installation and high-quality materials. Installing a tile roof costs an average of $17,500, which is nearly double the cost of asphalt shingles and more than a standard metal roof. However, clay tile roofs offer exceptional durability and can last over 100 years, providing lasting protection for your home and potentially saving you money in the long run.
When properly maintained, tile roofs have exceptional longevity. Concrete tile roofs can last 50 years or more, while clay and terracotta tiles can endure beyond 100 years. By performing regular maintenance and prompt repairs, you can extend the lifespan of your tile roof and ensure it continues to protect your home effectively.
A "square" in roofing terms equals 100 square feet. Depending on the dimensions, shape, and design of each tile, the number of roof tiles in a square ranges between 100 and 350. Knowing this helps you understand the material requirements for full coverage and optimal water resistance so you can work with your roofer to make an informed decision about your roofing project.
It's not advisable to walk on a tile roof. Stepping on the tiles increases the risk of damaging them, which can compromise your roof's integrity. Walking on the roof can chip or fracture the tiles, leading to leaks and costly repairs. For safety and lasting performance, avoid accessing your tile roof and rely on professionals for any necessary work.
