"J Corrigan and his team were great! Our home is old and needed a lot of repair and prep before they could start painting. But they worked efficiently and did high quality work. The house looks great and Jay was highly communicative throughout the process. We couldn’t be happier with how the project went."

"Roofing its something no home owner ever wants to do, but most have to go through. I won't even lie I wasn't even planning on getting a new roof, but Dale Knocked on my door and thats where the process started. My roof did go through insurance & aside from signing paper work/paying my deductible A1 handled everything. Obviously specific details from the insurance goes to you and then given to A1. Its not a short process and there is paperwork you have to sign, but all In all it did take me about 4 to 5 months where the process was started to roof replacement. Dale handled interactions with showing my the conditions of my roof and how to go about getting it put through the insurance. The only hiccup was that I have solar panels and I did feel like they where taken down to early (almost 5 months off), but I made my concerns known and one of the Managers called me and credited me $500 bucks (100 per month) that the panels where off. They did tell me setbacks in productions and things happen, but made me happy by giving me this credit. Didn't fight me on it, and didn't make me feel like I was just an insurance check on the other end. You can trust A1 home improvement with your home. I would like to thank Dale for his work & all the others that helped me throughout one of the most stressful process there can be for a house."

With over 15 years of experience, and after serving thousands of homeowners like you, I have learned that people want a few simple things from a roofing contractor. They want to know the company will deal with them honestly and with respect, have the expertise to deliver the highest quality at a good value, and be there to stand behind the work. When we started Rhino-Back Roofing the foundation of the entire company and all of our processes centers around focusing on these simple but uncommon values everyday. HONESTY, RESPECT, UNCOMPROMISING QUALITY, FAIRNESS and COMMITMENT. Additionally, for your peace of mind, our roofing work carries a COMPREHENSIVE LABOR & MATERIALS WARRANTY backed in writing by the industry's top manufacturer. We also accept major credit cards. It would be our pleasure to evaluate your roofing needs.
"Huge shoutout to Justin, and Jose and his crew at Rhino-Back Roofing! From the very first conversation with Troy, Kellsey and Grace to the final clean-up, they were total pros. Justin, the Field Manager, was super easy to work with, honest, responsive, and no BS, which I really appreciated. The team showed up on time, worked their butts off, and did an amazing job on my new roof. You can tell they actually care about the quality of their work, which is rare these days. They left everything spotless, too, no stray nails or mess left behind. If you’re looking for a roofing company that’s reliable, skilled, and just genuinely good people, go with Rhino-Back. Seriously, they made the whole thing easy and stress-free. Highly recommend!"

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.
