r/Roofing

We live in DFW area, recently requested a roofing company for quote. We have received this. I feel this is very high but would like to get some input. Thanks

Started redoing my patio flat roof, been kind of fun, expensive but cheaper than paying for labor. Replacing wood at the moment and then doing roofing felt and liberty cap, and new flashing for than likely.

I thought it was Atlas Stormaster at first, but I can’t find the exact color match?

We just had our roof replaced and this bit is unfinished. It looks like it was previously painted, so I cleaned it up a bit and gave a light sand. Is a section like this normally just painted or should I do something else?

I’m removing an existing skylight that is about 31” x 31”. I’d like to restore the structure to be able to reinstate the clay tile roof above. All rafters are 2x6. The current skylight interrupts one rafter and the original builders in 1988 installed a header on either side. I would like to do Option A or Option B but would like a second opinion to see if I’m on the right track. Please see 2nd picture for existing and proposed options.

I will use Simpson Strong Tie hangers with 1.5” and 2.5” SD screws as required but I can’t seem to find one that lets me do Option A, would Option B be okay?

Any and all criticism welcome.

I could use some assistance with shingles identification here. All the shingles are wet as well making the color a little darker.

I don’t know how some of y’all do it just picking out brands so easy from only one bad picture of the top. Any tips so I don’t have to ask and can find out myself?

Cheers

I'm in CT and am re-doing my roof. I'm considering moving my skylights from the west to the east side of my roof. I like how they brighten up the room, but the direct light in the mid-afternoon is too much and it can overheat the room. Moving them seem like I will get less direct light, but still benefit from the indirect light. Am I missing something that I will end up regretting if I move them?

I recently purchased a house knowing it needed some work. Just found out the roof is leaking, and think I know where. Thoughts on how to fix this?

Had an EPDM membrane installed on the lower sloping part of our roof when the roof was replaced in August 2025. Was doing yard cleanup today and noticed some bubbling/warping/blistering where it appears that the membrane is no longer tightly bound to the structure. Is this just a cosmetic issue or something to call the company about to get fixed under their warranty?

Looking to start subbing for them but wanna feel them out more first but haven't been able to find much online review wise. Anyone had experience with them in any aspect? Here's their website

Just had my house re-roofed and was checking out some photos provided by the contractor. I’m not 100% certain on the best method to shingle a valley. Does this look proper? My only concern was that on the right side of the valley in the second photo it looks like some shingles are a bit raised. Does this look like it’ll let water underneath? We have ice and water shield installed under but I don’t want to rely on that. Thanks!

I’m not home for this install so relying on pics from contractor. Install looking okay?
