Flat roofs come with their own unique set of challenges, which is why it’s so important to have an experienced flat roofing contractor at the helm of any installation or repair. The very nature of a flat roof means there’s very little water runoff. Therefore, our flat roof contractors have to take special precautions to ensure your roofing membrane is strong and minimizes leaks. At the same time, your roof will need regular, detailed maintenance by a flat roofing company to prevent troublesome damage or deterioration down the road.

This is precisely why you don’t want to let just any old flat roofing companies near your building. Instead, the nuances of flat roofing installation, repair, and maintenance should be left to the experienced pros at S&G Roofing. In addition to installation, we’re capable of complete structural repairs for your flat roof. From framing to custom overhangs to custom slopes for better drainage, we’ll improve your roof’s performance so it works perfectly for your building. With more than two decades of experience in the field, we know all the ins and outs of flat roofing and will provide you with the expertise you need.

Cedar
As the chart shows, there are many more pros to cedar roofs than cons. Perhaps the greatest advantage of all is the natural beauty of cedar and the way in which it gracefully ages into a beautiful grayish silver tone.

In terms of cost-savings, cedar wood is long-lasting, making it an ideal roofing material. Cedar lasts at least 10 years longer than common roofing materials, like asphalt. Cedar wood shingles and shakes are also resistant to strong winds and are durable in hurricanes, heavy rains, hail storms, snowstorms and other types of severe storms.

Cedar wood roofs are also energy efficient, providing a natural insulation up to two times that of asphalt shingles. This allows you to conserve home heating and cooling costs, and significantly save on energy bills.

Not to be overlooked are the benefits of using an eco-friendly roofing material. The Shake Guys are diligent about the environment when we harvest western red cedar to make our cedar shingles and shakes. We replace every tree we harvest with another and our processing techniques are kind to the environment.  Cedar roofs require regular maintenance to prevent moss, mold and mildew growth. However, there are cedar treatment preservatives that can be added during the crafting process to prevent fungal growth and preserve the wood.

Asphalt
Asphalt shingles are the most popular roof covering for homes, largely because they are relatively inexpensive, are durable and come in a wide variety of styles, colors and textures. Here at Harmony Home Improvement, we carry three-tab shingles and architectural shingles from leading manufacturers to give your home a long-lasting, beautiful finish.

To get the longest life out of your asphalt roof, proper installation and maintenance are necessary. That’s why it’s important to choose an experienced, professional contractor you can trust.

Ventilation & Materials
Proper roof ventilation is vital not only to your roof itself, but also to your building as a whole. Installing roof vents is an absolutely essential part of many larger roof installation projects, and replacements are often necessary throughout the lifetime of a roof. We provide roof ventilation systems for homes throughout Boston and the South Shore.  Regardless of the type of roof that you have, ventilation is so important.  Proper ventilation will prevent excessive condensation and moisture, ice dams, mold and mildew growth, shingle damage and more!  In other words, the absence of roof ventilation systems can actually cost you more than the vents themselves in the long run. If you want to minimize problems associated with excess moisture and ice dams, then proper roof ventilation is a must.
