"Oct, 2022 Roof Replacement on House and Garage. I researched and reviewed all about Roofing at You Tube, This Old House, Books, etc. I was able to get 3 bids to compare. I am very Satisfied with the work done on my Roof. David Stewart (stormmasterroofs.com) was there to supervise the Roofing Project as I also watch the progress done in 1.5 day. He answered every question that I asked and he was pleasant to talk to. Here are the Items that made me select him as my Roofing Contractor: 1) Removal of 2 layers of existing Roofing is included in the price. The others only specified Extra $'s so it may come as a surprise and can charge up to $4,000.00. 2) My Roof is a 50' x 51' plus pitch and only had a 1" x 6" strips of wood as its decking, looking from inside the attic. I wanted the whole Roof re-decked so it is more durable as we are planning to put Solar Panels in the near future. They sheathed the whole roof with 35 pieces of 4' X 8' x 7/16" (O.S.B.) put on top of the existing ones ( 1"x6"). He charged labor at $35 per sheet plus the cost of each sheet which is about $24 each including taxes. Thus $59 each sheet labor and materials. Others may be charging $75 per sheet labor and materials. 3) The Items furnished and installed were the ffg: a) Ice and Water Shield (on the roof edges), b) granulated water proofing on the eaves, in the valleys and on the entire rear roof where the solar panels are proposed to be installed, c) synthetic underlayment on the roof surface, d) new drip edge (by the gutters), e) flashings on two roof gables, f) flashings on pipes sticking up the roof such as the bathroom vents, plumbing vents, Furnace chimney, Radon exhaust chimney, g) new ridge vent plus shingles over ridge vent. h) Owens Corning (OW) Duration Tru -Definition laminated shingles. StormMaster Restoration & Roofing use OW which is Engineered to deliver 130-MPH wind warranty performance, has a nailing strip with tough, woven engineered reinforcing fabric that would not tear down from wind. GAF may also have this with their newer release but with a higher price. OW's are affordable and readily available. 4) They covered our shrub plants with some Tarp to protect it from damage. 5) They did a good cleanup, scouring for nails with a magnetic tool. 6) I payed with my credit card thru Angi to facilitate payment and did not charge for extra fee. Other may charge 3.5% fee using credit card. 7) David Stewart also handled the roof inspection application and fee. I did not wait for my old roof to deteriorate further nor wait for the insurance adjuster. Putting a new roof will enhance the value of the house at the same time enjoying now the protection of the new Roof with confidence. Who knows the price of labor and materials may go up too in the future."

"Found out that our roof was not installed properly because they did not use washers with the nails. They also did not seal off the old vents properly. This has caused water leakage. Check BBB, this company’s accreditation has been revoked."

"Overall the install was okay at best. The quality of materials was very poor even though we paid for cedar . They are way overpriced and don't stand by there products/work. I’ve attached photos of the posts visible on the outside of the concrete…. It’s safe to say we will not use them in the future, nor would we recommend their services. We went with SK because most of the fences in town were installed by your company and expected more based on their reputation but I think because we were are not in the richest area we didn't get the same kind of care/quality of work. When in reality what we got was a shoddy fence job with warped boards, bent fence posts, and a gate that was improperly installed - all by a crew that spent more time utilizing their smoke breaks & breaks than they did working on our fence. I’m generally not one to complain, even when I want to, but it is ridiculous that they would claim that our gate falling over was caused by storm damage when there was visible wood rot visible at the bottom of the broken posts and none of the rest of the fence has fallen over that is out in the open more. We do realize that it has been 4 years since installation, but there is no way that it should have rotted that fast and if it had been installed properly, it wouldn’t have at all. It is obvious that SK does not stand by their products/work. Ultimately, we decided to do the work ourselves, because $800 is just crazy for replacing two posts that was their fault they rotted when the materials cost us less than $100. The posts were obviously rotted, and while digging them up we learned the reason the posts failed was because they were partially installed outside of the concrete. This is deeply concerning and it makes me wonder how many of our other posts were installed incorrectly…. Hopefully you don't have this issue but we would strongly recommend someone else. We wouldn't even been writing this if they would have just stood by the work they did and fixed the mistake they made. Heck if the whole fence blew down and it was real wind damage I wouldn't even blame them for say sorry that is wind damage there is nothing we can do about it."

"It started off bad it was cold mid January 2020 they sent 2 men to tear off the siding and replace it. It took a month(they finished in February) I started taking pictures at first to record our experience good thing, I then was taking pictures to protect myself. They never put there things away at the end of the day (extension cords, ladders saw horses ect..) every day I had to take pictures.(They stepped on a small bush and broke it, they put there ladder on my new air conditioner and put large scratches in it, they damaged my garage, and spilled a red drink on my new $3,200 concrete steps and stained them) they have paid for the damage but still have not tried to clean my steps, And when they were done and asked me to sign off and pay the rest of what I owed I ask them to please clean there oily hand prints off the siding they agreed I signed off and they left with out cleaning.

"The work was done properly and when some additional jobs were added, Mr Grant went out of his way to get subcontractor's in to fix the added jobs promptly. I was very happy with the results and would recommend Steven Grant Construction to anyone who needed a prompt quote and a properly done job. He took the extra steps to finish my job within the quote so I stayed on budget."

Copper roofs can last 100 years or more, so you’re likely never to need another replacement. Regular maintenance, including annual inspections and occasional cleaning, keeps them in top shape. Work with a licensed roofer for any repairs or inspections to be sure the roof stays watertight and performs as expected.
Cleaning a copper roof averages $460, sealing costs an average of $3 per square foot, and broader repairs cost an average of $6,500.While those figures may seem steep compared to simple maintenance, they’re still far less than the cost of a complete replacement. Staying on top of annual cleanings and quick fixes helps keep costs down and allows the roof to reach its 100-year lifespan.
That green hue is a natural patina that forms as copper reacts with air and moisture. In coastal areas, it can appear in five to seven years; in dry regions, it may take up to 14. The patina shields the copper, so letting it develop is perfectly fine. If you prefer the shiny look, you can have a pro apply a clear sealant and recoat it as needed.
You can paint a copper roof, but it will block the natural patina and may shorten the roof’s lifespan. Once paint goes on, future upkeep becomes more involved—you’ll need to scrape and repaint every few years. Most homeowners skip painting and opt for cleaning or a clear sealant to keep the copper looking its best.
Copper holds up well in nearly every climate. In a humid region, it naturally resists fungus, moss, and algae. In snowy or windy areas, it sheds precipitation and stays firmly in place, as long as it’s installed with room to expand and contract. That flexibility helps the roof stay leak-free through temperature swings and harsh weather year after year.
