How to judge roofing work

A roof is the one system that protects every other part of a building, which is why the way a contractor inspects matters more than the brochure. A thorough look covers flashing, penetrations, valleys and decking — not just the field of shingles — because that is where water actually finds its way in.

Roof lifespan depends more on installation quality and attic ventilation than on the material alone. Poor ventilation cooks shingles from underneath, and incorrect nailing patterns void many manufacturer warranties. The useful questions to ask any roofer are about process and sequence, not only price.

Typical lifespan ranges by roofing material (industry averages; actual life depends on climate, ventilation and installation quality)

Material	Typical lifespan	Notes
Asphalt shingle	15–30 years	Most common; ventilation strongly affects service life
Metal	40–70 years	Standing seam generally outlasts exposed-fastener panels
Clay or concrete tile	50–100 years	Underlayment usually needs renewal sooner than the tile
Slate	75–150 years	Weight requires adequate framing capacity
Single-ply membrane (flat)	20–30 years	Seams and terminations are the usual failure points

What customers say

They did a beautiful job on our new roof. They were fast and did a complete and professional job. Extra effort on clean-up was noticed and appreciated. Well done Able Roofing!

Terry Hamman

James was our salesman very nice guy. Only issues we had with the while thing was the crew showing up at 6am no notice of them being here that early. And wish they would have told us to pull any vehicles out of garage so my Harley wasnt covered. But bike is fine we love the new roof, just waiting on the new siding to complete the new look. Oh and if you have allstate as an ins company change. We paying for the siding that they say needs replaced but wont pay for even though we are covered they just dont want to. Able great Allstate sucks.

Salesman did a super job showing all the options of materials. He did even a better job with the finance options. Installers took great care when tarping around the house for debris. Not one of the wife's flowers were harmed. Very efficient starting at 7:00 am and finished at 3:00 pm same day.
