We were needing to replace the old shingles on our house and detached garage, and decided on a new metal roof. So, I searched the web for local contractors, and OWN’s site caught my eye! I called and left a message one evening, they called me back the next day, came out and gave me an estimate the next and I had them under contract the next. A week later I had a beautiful new roof system, that my insurance company estimated it added at least $75,000 to the value of our property!
On the day of, a crew of 10 highly skilled artisans showed up at 6:00am and worked all day, with only a half hour lunch break, and continued until “dark thirty”. They never broke stride or complained about the 104 heat index! Although they had water and Cokes, it was HOT, so to try to help, we set out a couple of ice chests filled with Gatoraide and Arizona tea, for which they were very appreciative!
It was fascinating to watch them work from the shelter of my shade tree, like a well-oiled machine with everybody knowing exactly what to do, and when to do it. They obviously took great pride as they sought perfection in their endeavor, like they were creating a functional piece of sculpture!
The roof consisted of a layer of synthetic felt underlayment, a layer of solar shield foil, 1"x4" strips, and steel roofing. That is a great combination that really helps save energy. I was surprised how much more work it was to install it than shingles, but it was worth it!
My garage was 15 degrees cooler yesterday from this roof alone! I can finally work in it in the summer without being baked. Thank you Alex and crew! I highly recommend them!
