April 29, 2021 Scott Patnode

Choosing an unrated roofing material for your roof replacement may appear as if you’ve saved money for now, but this also means your home won’t have any fire resistance.

Common Issues That Cause Commercial Roof Damage

April 9, 2021 Scott Patnode

A commercial roof that’s well-built and properly-managed will last for many years. However, unexpected events can sometimes damage the roof and compromise its structural integrity. These factors can vary from nearby foliage and surrounding structures to extreme storms and local climatic conditions. For instance, your commercial property may be in an area that gets extremely hot during spring and summer or constant rain and snowfall during the rest of the year.

How Are Rafters and Trusses Different From Each Other?

April 2, 2021 Scott Patnode

Whether you’re constructing a new home or planning an addition to an existing one, you’ll need to discuss with your roof service contractor and decide the type of structure that will support your roof. You’ll have two choices, which are rafters and trusses. You might find in the attic of older homes that rafters were highly popular back then, but nowadays, the home improvement industry leans a bit more on using the truss method when constructing a residential roof.

Testimonials

Fields Roof Service is the BEST - from the first phone call to the last shingle! I got 3 bids. One was far below Fields, but I didn't feel confident that they would do the job correctly, and the other one was about the same as Fields. But I chose Fields because Jason was so knowledgeable. I felt that the job would be done right. He was organized and took care of every little detail. And the crew who worked on my roof were great, too. The roof looks great, and I love my 2 new skylights in my living room. I highly recommend Fields Roof Service!!!

Steve came out to help us investigate a potential leak. He was not only thorough in checking for the leak (which he verified was not coming from the roof) but was also extremely friendly and gave us suggestions on where the leak could be coming from as well as general roofing tips. This was my first time working with them, and will be highly recommending them to my friends and coworkers. Thanks Steve!"
