A. D*ck sucking loving roofs

Q. West suburbs preferred but any one will do. Thanks!

A. I am a natural slate roofing contractor located in south florida. i'm from michigan and i'm currently installing teak wood shingles in the bahamas for Art Wirtz Jr who's from chicago. i don't know of any good wood shingle guys in chicago off hand but i know of the perfect place to find one. you see the worst thing you could do is hire a shingle contractor for the job. those guys install cheap, temporary roofing and simply don't have the skills to properly install natural roofs. i belong to a nationwide community of slaters which has a great website. we have a message board where slaters talk to each other and homeowners go for great advise. there is also a list of contractors who haven't just paid their fees but have actually PROVEN themselves to be real craftsmen when it comes to roofs. i'll post the site below. good luck and great choice!!

Q. I am looking for a roofer who has specific extensive experience with flat roofs that you can recommend from personal experience.

A. It would help to know where you are located. You can call the local BBB for references for roofers. You can find smaller companies on the builder bulletin boards at places like Lowes or Home Depot. A roofing supplier will have one of these boards too. Most will not recommend any one company, hence the use of the board for their business cards. Make sure and check references of other customers they've done work for. Flat roofs can be tricky and will tend to leak if not done correctly. Good luck.

Q. I'm looking to buy a metal warehouse building. The walls and roof are dirty and need cleaning. While the structure is plenty sound, I'm wondering how safe it is to walk on the roof. I was wondering if all metal roofs are built strong enough to support a person walking on it. For other types of roofs in colder climates, building codes specify a load capacity to hold up under snow. Here in Houston, such support does not apply. As the roof itself is very light, it doesn't need to be very strong to shed off rain.

A. I've done a lot of work on metal roofs, and i have only came across 1 that was too thin to walk on. it wasn't that it wouldn't support me either, (230lbs) it just bent, and dented when i walked on it. this just simply made it look ugly... feel a corner or edge if you can find one. if you can bend it easily with your fingers, it's too thin, but if it's quite rigid, and you can't bend it without plyers, it should hold up to your boots! not sure where you are, but where i am, we are starting to get frost. take EXTRA care on those metal roofs during this coming winter season!

Q. I have picked some steel roofing out and I was wondering what price range I should expect to get. I have two very simple gable roofs one is 17sq. and the other one is 8 sq. I am planning on going over existing shingles, so no removal is needed. I am going to purchase all the materials at a local steel supplier.

A. If you are going over shingles, only one layer I assume, you still have to have a layer of wood nailers. Your deck needs to be a minimum of 5/8" where as most roofs only have a deck made of 1/2". Before you purchase the steel make sure your roof can accommodate the steel. Most can but it is a bit more complicated than just laying the sheets of steel down. I would suggest you contact 3 contractors and ask for estimates. The cost for labor should be about equal to that of an asphalt shingled roof. Where I live roofers charge by the square, between $35.00 and $45.00 per square plus materials. When you get a quote make sure they include all prep work etc.

Q. * The wood is enviro-wood made from recycled wood and from sustainable growth forests. Apart from cost what are the pros & cons

A. Depends on what look your going for. If you want a country look real wood looks better. If you want more of a pulled together classic look then you could use faux wood.
