Roofing Contractors In The Upper Peninsula Getting Anxious For Spring

Q Builders, a Hubbell, MI based roofing contractor, commented on the impact the winter season has on the local roofing industry in the Upper Peninsula. With spring on the way, northern Michigan roofing contractors are getting increasingly anxious, the company says, and customers may benefit from understanding why.

The company explains that being a contractor in the north — where snow dominates up to half the year — means waiting for warm weather to work. In most cases, contractors are forced to wait for spring to arrive and the snow to melt so they can begin working again, so they are collectively hoping it will arrive in April. Unfortunately, projections indicate that the snow will be melted by May. This means roofing companies may need to charge higher fees to make up for lost time. Customers should be aware of this since certain contractors may try to take advantage of them as a result. It is recommended that they make sure their contractor is not in the habit of adding hidden fees or otherwise driving up the price after construction has already begun.

They continue, "With so many options available to property owners, it can be difficult to determine what type of roof provides the best protection while being easy on the budget. Asphalt shingles are an economical and versatile choice for residential roofing that provides lasting protection to any home. Whether you're a homeowner looking to maintain or replace your current asphalt shingles, or if you're a builder considering installing this type of roof on a new construction project, there are likely questions that come up when making a decision regarding what kind of surface material is best."

Another commonly used material is metal, in the form of metal shingles. Metal roofing are a bit more expensive than asphalt shingles and require more skill and labor to install. They make up for this by being more durable, however, and by increasing the resale value of a house. A metal roof can improve a home's resale value by up to 6% compared to a home with an asphalt shingle roof. Another advantage associated with metal roofs is the fact that there is no need to tear off an existing roof in order to install a metal one as they can be placed over other shingles.

One of the reasons most hesitate to install a metal roof is the fact that they believe that metal roofs are noisy. Fortunately, metal roofs come with strong sheathing that can reduce the noise from rain, hail and debris more effectively than other roofing materials.

Q Builders is able to assist with roof installation of all kinds of roofs, including asphalt and metal. A number of customers who have worked with the company have left excellent reviews of the company online and off. P. Anne says in a review, "Our cafe's rear entrance, wall and door was letting in cold air like a sieve. Greg stopped in and gave us a quick estimate. We accepted, and he and his partner did the work as we expected. We cannot believe the difference, and we're quite sure our utility bill will reflect the improvements. Not only was it good work for a fair price, but we had an invoice in our email box before they even left the building! And we've asked them to come back and fix other things at our gift store!"
