When choosing a roofing contractor for your home, there are many things to consider. Most Homeowners know to look for companies who have been around for awhile. Some know to look at insurance policies and what is covered. And of course there are always references to check. But these alone don’t tell you much. What about education? Actual working experience?
And what of the cost? There are many factors involved in a price. Payroll, insurance, quality of materials. The cheapest price can be read as lacking in well paid experienced employees, proper insurance coverage, improper or lower quality materials. The cheapest price you get usually comes with headaches.

Our approach to wood, slate, metal, and tile roofing is unmatched by any other roofing company. We design our roofs to be longer lasting and lower maintenance.

There are a lot of things happening in your home. Heat loss through roofing areas, Moisture build-up in attic spaces which lead to toxic mold growth, Ice dams which form in extreme winter conditions, high attic temperatures in summer. All of these problems and more can lead to uncomfortable or unhealthy living for you and your family. These conditions can damage your home costing thousand of dollars in repairs. We are prepared to find and diagnose these problems making your home comfortable, healthy and efficient. Ventilation is the most misunderstood and misused aspect of roofing. In most homes, ventilation systems are inadequate and poorly designed. This can lead to severe energy losses and high energy bills, poor air quality due to mold and pollutant build up, structural damages and premature paint failure, ice damming and severe roof leaks, and many other issues. Our sales staff is highly trained to find and address these issues with a proper and balanced system making your home safe and efficient. Special problems are no challenge. We have designed a few of our own ventilation products to deal with the tough to ventilate areas. When a Rick’s Main Roofing Residential Representative comes to your home, you can be assured he knows the causes and cures of these ventilation problems.
We are a registered member of the Cedar Shake and Shingle Bureau and we are extremely proud of our long lasting approach to wood roof maintenance and installation. Technology is constantly changing even in the roofing industry. New products and new standards come out constantly, even for the oldest styles of roofing such as slate, tile and metal roofing. We strive to learn with the technology and continue to train our service staff in the application and repair of new and better products that will make your home or building safer, drier, and more energy efficient.
Maintenance
Your personal vehicle needs to be tuned up to maintain peak performance and fuel efficiency. Home heating equipment needs to be cleaned and maintained. Reality is, many of the things we use in our homes need to be maintained in order to get long years of service and peak efficiency. Your roof is no exception! Flat roofs, pitched roofs all need varying forms of maintenance. Wood roofs need to be preserved in regular intervals (Varies with climate and home moisture). Slate roofs should be checked every spring for loose slate, open joints, and loose snowguards. Flat roofs should be checked every year for open seams, cracked edge joints, loose flashing, and other factors. And many roofs and gutters require seasonal maintenance (like removing leaves from drains, gutters, and valleys, protecting chimneys etc…). We have been performing these tasks for years. For your safety call us and let us do the work.
