With nearly 500 five-star online reviews and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau, Encore has succeeded in giving exceptional service and superior quality to its customers with no dissatisfied customers to date! Most customers found our metal roofing costs to be less than half of other companies, and in many cases less than the cost of a shingle roof replacement. Metal roofing is far superior to shingle roofing for the following reasons; #1 – it is much cooler than asphalt shingles- regardless of color. #2 – it is equivalent to the same cost. #3 – the lifetime of a metal roof is 3 to 4 times that of a shingle roof— or longer. #4 – Metal roofing increases the resale value of your home. #5 – Metal roofing eliminates the possible need for replacing any wood decking due to the fact that the metal roofing is installed using its own wood strip foundation. This is a huge cost savings for roofs that have possible rotten or weak wood decking. #6– Metal roofing sheds water much better than asphalt shingles, and is 2 to 3 times less likely to leak. #7 – the highest wind rating for a regular shingle roof is 130 mph – Metal roofing is 2 to 3 times better. Here are some myths online and otherwise that are simply NOT true regarding Metal roofing: #1 – Metal roofing is actually NOT heavier than shingle roofing— it is less than half the weight of shingle roofing. #2 – Metal roofing is NOT noisy due to the fact that we leave the existing shingles as a sound barrier and a thermal barrier. #3- Metal roofing is NOT 2 to 3 times the price. #4- Metal roofing does NOT affect cell phone reception or Internet usage. Although Encore Roofs specializes in quality and affordable metal roofing, we also provide other services such as blow in attic insulation and pressure washing. Customers like us because; - We are NOT a franchise- we are locally owned and operated. - The owner is on every job, every day of the job. - 95% of all projects are completed within within two weeks of a signed contract. - once work begins on a project, pricing does not change. - trustworthy, professional, communicative, clean work practices, quality materials, guaranteed installation, competitive cost. - Sorry; No hablo español. We look forward to working for you, and making you another one of our very happy customers :-)

The three main types of slate roofs are standard, patterned, and random. Standard slate roof tiles have the same width, thickness, and length. They overlap in alternating rows and look uniform when fully installed. Patterned slate uses colored tiles and sometimes different shapes to create different designs. Random slate uses varying sizes and thicknesses to create a rustic look, similar to wooden shake.
The alternatives to slate roofs include fiber cement, concrete, and clay. They’re less expensive and don’t last as long, but they provide hard, fire-resistant roofing. You can also choose rubber- or plastic-made composites that mimic the look of slate. Before deciding, discuss the best options for your home and budget with your slate roofing pro.
Generally, a building permit is required for a new slate roof installation. This is considered a significant change in the structure of your house. If you’re replacing one type of roofing material with a slate roof, this may also call for a valid permit. Basic repairs may or may not need a permit. It is best to check with local authorities about the regulations that apply in your area.
Professional roofers' training varies by state, but they typically need to serve an apprenticeship of at least two years before applying for a roofing license. Always hire a professional with specific experience installing slate roofing. No other material goes on the same as slate tiles. It’s easy to crack the stone when installing it, leading to leaks and damage later on. Local roofing contractors should also have liability insurance and a business license. Call the issuers of these credentials to ensure they’re valid.
Replace a slate roof if more than 20% to 30% of its tiles need to be repaired or replaced. In most cases, the roof may be nearing the end of its life and will likely continue to need rapid tile replacement. It’s best to do it all at once. A standard roof inspection costs about $235, a worthwhile investment to make a more informed decision.
Slate roofs are a popular option because of their longevity and classic look. Expect a slate roof to last anywhere from 50 to 200 years, depending on factors like hardness, composition, and proper maintenance. While you may need to clean, repair, or replace some slate tiles over the years, slate roofing lasts a long time. By comparison, clay and concrete roofs last up to 50 years, while wood shingles last 25 to 70 years, depending on the variety.
