Services
Metal Roofing
Our metal roofing solutions combine durability with energy efficiency, featuring interlocking panels that withstand 110 mph winds and 90 psf uplift. Backed by a lifetime warranty, these systems include fireproof aluminum options with Kynar 500 finishes that resist fading for decades. We offer vertical panels and shingle profiles to match architectural styles while providing 20-30% energy savings through HI-R heat barrier technology.
Shingle Roofing
Certainteed ShingleMaster-certified installations ensure proper application of architectural and three-tab shingles. Our expertise includes manufacturer-backed extended warranties and color visualization tools for informed decisions. We prioritize proper flashing techniques and ventilation integration to maximize lifespan while maintaining aesthetic appeal across steep-slope applications.
Roof Leak Repair
We specialize in rapid diagnosis and permanent solutions for roof leaks, including chimney re-flashing and pipe boot replacement. Our technicians respond promptly to water intrusion emergencies, using proven methods to prevent secondary damage. Preventative maintenance recommendations accompany every repair to extend roof system longevity.
Commercial Roofing
Comprehensive commercial solutions cover TPO, PVC, EPDM, and metal systems for office buildings, schools, and multi-family properties. As Firestone Red Shield Contractors, we deliver value-engineered repairs and installations with same-day emergency response. Our systems incorporate energy-efficient materials and 30-year Platinum warranty options for property managers.
Gutter Protection
Our aluminum gutter guards prevent debris accumulation while maintaining water flow capacity. The perforated design keeps out leaves and pine needles without affecting roof warranty. We reinforce installations to withstand regional weather patterns, reducing maintenance needs while protecting foundations from water damage through improved drainage control.
