Roofing Services
Although we can help improve your home with a wide variety of services, Ferris Home Improvements has specialized in roofing since we began in 2004. Whether you have a flat or shingled roof, a gradual grade or a steep pitch, a glaring eyesore or a mysterious leak, we offer a variety of services to help maintain or improve the integrity of your home’s first and most critical line of defense—its roof.
Ferris Home Improvements is a local roofing contractor you can trust. Combine our industry experience, craftsmanship, and expertise with a smaller, more customer-centered company, and you get the best roofing services for a price that continuously undercuts the industry’s largest roofing companies, sometimes up to 60%!
Roof Installation/Replacement
Providing quality, dependable roofing service depends on a variety of factors, but the most critical is an honest evaluation of its current condition. Does your roof need a “go-over” or a “tear-off”? How many layers of existing roofing material does your roof currently have? How does a “ridge vent” differ from an attic fan in ventilating your home? These questions are just a few of the critical aspects in which Ferris Home Improvements’ specialists can help you understand the basics of roofing, and use them to determine whether a new roof is necessary, and how much it will cost.
Our most popular roofing installation services include:
- Shingle Roof Additional Layer (“go-over”)
- Flat Roof Additional Layer (“go-over”)
- Shingle Roof Replacement (“tear-off”)
- Flat Roof Replacement (“tear-off”)
- Sheething Integrity Assessment & Replacement
- Vapor Barrier Installation
- Rubber Roofing Systems (e.g. EPDM)
- Ridge Vent Installation
- Ice & Water Shield Installation
- Flashing Installation
- Pipe Collar Installation
- Skylight Installation
Through a free estimate, Ferris Home Improvements can provide you with a roof assessment that is realistic and practical for your budget. For example, your roof could only require a “go-over” (a fresh layer of shingles or flat roofing material applied over the top of an existing layer), a job that is significantly different in cost and quality than a complete “tear-off” (stripping the roof down to its sheathing/plywood, replacing damaged sheathing, and installing a brand new roof). Other times repairing a bad roof is not worth your time or money, and it will save you money in the long run if you install a new roof.
All you need to know: Ferris Home Improvements serves the customer, not the company’s pockets. If you need a new roof versus a repair, we’ll tell you. It’s that simple.
