Pros and Cons of Different Roofing Materials

roofing-materials-pros-cons There are many different types of roofing materials available. This includes asphalt shingles, tile and cement roofing and metal roofing. Selecting the roof type that is ideal for you varies based on many factors. Some of these factors include:

Weather
Your Budget
If the roof is on a commercial or residential building
How much maintenance you want to do on the roof

Learning about the pros and cons of different roofing materials will help you select the roof type that makes the most sense for you. We have created this guide to help educate you so you can make an informed decision on roofing materials for your roof. Read on to learn about some of these pros and cons.

Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt Roofing Shingles

Pros: The biggest benefit to asphalt shingles is their price. Asphalt shingles are among the most affordable roofing materials on the market. If budget is a factor, consider this type of roof.

Cons: The biggest downside to asphalt shingle roofs is their lifespan. Asphalt roofs have a short lifespan and require a lot of maintenance. If you are looking for something that requires little maintenance and has a long lifespan, this is not the roofing material for you.

Tile and Cement Roofing

Pros: One of the biggest benefits to a tile or cement roof is the lifespan. When properly installed, tile and cement roofs can last up to 50 years. They are strong and durable, making them a great option for those who live in places where hail or strong wind gusts may cause damage to asphalt shingle roofs.

Cons: One of the cons to tile and cement roofs is that they are heavy. Many roofing decks and trusses can only support so much weight. When you install a heavy roof, you may have to install more trusses to support the weight of this type of roof. This increase the cost of the roof and increases the amount of time it takes to install the roof. If you need something fast and inexpensive, this roof type may not be ideal for you.

Metal Roofing

Pros: One of the biggest benefits to metal roofing is that it can be installed quickly. Unlike tiles or asphalt shingles which require each item to be placed by hand, a metal roof is a large sheet that is placed rather quickly. This decreases the amount of time to install the roof, which in turn, decreases the labor costs associated with installing the roof.

Cons: Metal roofing can be installed quickly, but unfortunately, it also has a downside. One of the downsides to metal roofing is that it requires a great deal of maintenance. Metal roofs needs to be sealed and have their seams re-sealed. If this is not done, metal roofs can corrode or rusts. And if the seams aren't sealed, water can seep into the roof.

How Location and Climate Affect Your Roofing Choice

Learning about the pros and cons of roofing materials plays a huge role in what roofing type is ideal for you. However, so does your climate and location. For example, people who live in coastal areas may want to avoid metal roofing, as the salt in the air can cause them to corrode quickly. Shingle roofs don't do well in humid climates, as moss and algae can quickly grow and destroy the roof. Copper isn't a good roofing choice in places where the temperatures shift from hot to cold quickly. As such, it is important to always consider the weather elements where you live and how those elements can affect the type of roof you are considering.

Vertex was great! I’m really happy with everything and super stoked I found these guys. Breck was super helpful and great at explaining things to me and going over all my options.

Vertex Roofing is your go-to for all your roofing needs! The entire process was very informative and also very seamless. We initially met with Seth who came out and gave us a very good quote and also took the time to explain exactly what was going on with our roof and the options to fix it. The first time I met with Seth, he spent 45 minutes answering my questions and making sure I was comfortable and understanding the best ways to proceed. Once we signed our contract, Vertex was out within a week tearing off our old roof and installing the new one! Breck was awesome in calling me with updates and reassuring me that the job was getting done correctly. The foreman, Everardo, and his crew were at our house early to get started and did a wonderful job on the overall product! We could not be happier with the work and are so happy we got the roof replaced before the spring rainstorms!! We will recommend Vertex to anyone looking for roofing needs! Thank you again!

These guys are fantastic. It was easy, quick and they went above and beyond with explaining different options to choose from. They did a fantastic job and even offered to come back to do a second sweep for nails once the snow had melted. Would always recommended them to friends and family. Gavin is a rockstar and did a very thorough post instal inspection and made sure we were happy from day one.

Oliver Wesley

Vertex replaced our roof with TPO roofing. Eduardo worked non stop through the frigid temps and most everything looks great. Vertex has replaced a shingle roof for us in the past as well. I would recommend Vertex for roofing replacement or repairs.

Safety was an important factor in my contractor selection. Roofers wore their fall protection as promised. Excellent work. Great follow through on promises. Highly recommend. Call and ask for Seth.

We had an old roof that need replacing. I called 6 roofing companies and out of all of them Vertex had the type of shingles I wanted with a outstanding warranty and price point.The crew were professional and they kept my yard clean at all times and addressed any concerthat I might have had.The shingles look wonderful. I hired the company to come back and do my gutters.Thank you Vertex.The Federman's

I received a quote from another company, where they tried to scare me into reroofing immediately and paying an outrageous amount. I spoke with Vertex on the phone. They were helpful, friendly, and honest. I didn't pay Vertex a dollar, but when I reroof, I plan to use them because they are honest.

Dan Inouye

Vertex was great to work with! Seth was informative, responsive and friendly. The crew that came out to do the job was also very friendly and they did a good job of cleaning up. I would definitely recommend them!

many thanks to Chris and Cydnee for their work this week. Chris was great in diagnosing the problem and explaining the issue in the ways I could understand. thanks! 10/10 would recommend!

Seth Jensen was outstanding to keep in communication and to guide through every step of this new roof installation. The metal crew was also thorough and expert at this difficult job on a steep pitch. We are very pleased with the value offered by Vertex and the quality of the work.

Claire Yarrington

I'm the owner of a large old Victorian house in the Avenues of Salt Lake City. The roof has a very steep pitch, some flat areas, including a roof-top balcony, multiple dormers, eaves, valleys... a fairly complicated roof that is three stories high. I'd called a few companies a year ago, and they just drove by, took a look, and never called back. I called Vertex because they appeared to have a very good reputation, and because I had decided that this was a job that needed to be done by expert roofers, as opposed to the companies that try to hurry through jobs as fast as they can to make as much money as possible. Vertex took the job, and they did it very well. They took their time in order to do it right, and I can honestly say that I'm very happy with the result.

DomremySurMeuse

15:26 06 Oct 22

The team at Vertex was very professional and a company I knew I wanted to work with from our very first meeting. Gavin was extremely helpful, responsive, and not pushy as we tried to coordinate their work with other contractors. The estimate provided was fair and not the lowest estimate I received, but represented the best value for the work to be performed. The crew that did the work was very respectful of our property and worked hard to get the job done in about 3 days. I would definitely call Vertex for additional roofing work and recommend them to others.

Bill Hargrave

22:36 29 Sep 22

Very professional, fast and reliabl. Signed contract and within a week they were out to my place replacing my roof. Seth was always there to answer questions. Would recommend to anyone needing a new roof.

We contacted 3 potential roofers to re-roof our home. Gavin provided our bid and explained Vertex’s roofing procedures (including roof inspection and checking on clean-up after the job was completed). He was professional, informative, and provided a competitive bid in a short period of time. He and Parker (site supervisor) were great to work with (including coordinating with a plumber on changing the location of roof vents) and kept us informed about what happening with the job. Our questions were always answered.Our roof looks great and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the work. We highly recommend Vertex Roofing.

I used Vertex roofing to remove an old corrugated metal roof. They replaced the sheathing and installed a new TPO roof. They was some accidental damage that occurred during the existing roof removal, but they were quick to have it professionally corrected. I'm overall happy with the experience and would recommend them.

Morgan Lee Miller

15:06 28 Aug 22

These guys were great. They responded when they said they would. They had great solutions for a problem area we had on our roof. They were good at explaining our options with the ridge vent. My favorite part of this company was how great they were with clean up. They made a great effort to get our project finished in a timely manner.

Gayle Campos

23:11 26 Aug 22

In an ideal world, I wouldn’t need Chris and Vertex roofing, but this is Utah and the builders don’t build their houses for the rain, and these recent Monsoon rains are exposing issues that used to not be a problem. But they’ve been thorough with find them problem and fixing it. Chris has fixed a leaking chimney, found a poorly done interface that was letting water in, and even a gap the builder left in a corner where the roof meets a wall from back in the 90s. Always thorough, always kind and eager to help. They will always be my first call for anything roof or gutter related.

Mike Risley

14:36 25 Aug 22

Chris came out to do a quote for some roofing repairs and I'm so glad he did! He called me to say he was 30 minutes out and then he showed up exactly when he said he would. While he was quoting us, he cleaned out some of our gutters just to help us out - free of charge! I felt like he really cared and like I wasn't just a customer on his schedule but a friend. I plan to use Vertex in the future for any other roofing needs.Thanks, Chris!

Vertex is top notch! They were easy to work with, on time, and they did what they said they would.

LR Olsen

15:03 16 Aug 22

Gavin and the office manager Cydney were amazing to work with. They made it easy to work with my insurance company. The crew was fast and efficient and the clean up was amazing. I will be using them for all my roofing needs in the future. I highly recommend Vertex!

Chi Nguyen

15:40 14 Aug 22

Chris, Sydney and Parker were outstanding. I found a hole in my roof on 10 Aug. I reached out to this company the next morning. Sydney got back to me within minutes. She then told me that Chris and Parker were in the area and could be there shortly. Sure enough, less than 30 mins later Chris and Parker showed up. They didn't try and sell me on anything or upgrades etc...they just told me the truth and took care of my issue in short order. I could not be happier with their service. If my roof needed to be completely replaced I would not hesitate to call this company back. Well done Chris, Sydney and Parker.

Jason Coombs

20:00 11 Aug 22

Gavin came to my home for a free initial inspection and to start a roof repair project bid. Chris came to my home to finalize the project and start the repairs and after further inspection recommended a fix that substantially lowered the cost of the project repairs. It was very refreshing to see such honesty even at the cost of revenue. I would tell anyone needing roofing repairs to trust this team to give you a fair bid. I will be using them for any future repairs that I may need.

Simeon Blankenship

16:15 10 Aug 22

Vertex did a fantastic job on our new roof. They arrived when they said they would, they worked late into the evening. Since rain was expected that night, they made sure everything was covered and protected. They even stayed late the next day to finish the job early! It looks amazing and everyone has been very responsive to all our questions. I would definitely use them again.

Carrol Firmage

20:03 03 Aug 22

Vertex roofing, especially Chris, has been amazing to work with!They handled all the B.S. with my insurance company, promptly replaced my roof, and it turned out great! They left their job site spotless. I haven't encountered a single nail, or any garbage left behind.They checked in a week after the replacement of the roof to make sure all was well.Chris was great from start to finish, and made sure we were handled.

I called vertex roofing for an estimate for a full reroofing. They were very prompt in their response. Gavin was extremely professional and courteous while doing the inspection and estimate.

John Grant

We had a great experience with Vertex Roofing. Devin and Breck were very easy to work with, responsive, and professional. We're very happy with our new roof and gutters!

Steve Leitch

13:43 25 Jul 22

Work was completed on 6-18-222. Gavin helped me with this roof project and did a great job! My roof was the original roof and was 23 years old and showing wear. I developed a roof leak from heavy rain storms that was leaking into the garage. Gavin came out to my house and diagnosed where the leak was coming from and gave me a couple options of fixing the repair and we also talked about the options of re-roofing since my roof was 23 years old. Because of the signs of wear on the rest of the roof and being 23years old I decided to replace/re-shingle the entire house for preventive maintenance reasons. Gavin sat down with me and worked up a quote for shingle removal and quality shingle replacement with a good price. Since I had a current leak problem Gavin was able to move me up in his schedule with priority. Work was completed good/fast with a large crew on site, along with fixing the original leak problem over the garage. I recommend Vertex roofing as a good roofing company.

Neil Hill

02:15 25 Jul 22

The only contractor that answered my request for a repair estimate. Chris came out the next morning, found the problem, and fixed it for a very reasonable amount. Highly recommend.

Roger D

16:55 20 Jul 22

Vertex has a great team from office staff, roofing crews, soffit and rain gutter crews to clean up crews. They are professional, quick and responsive in what they do and make sure the job is done perfect when they walk away. I highly recommend.

Jordan Lindquist

15:32 07 Jul 22

Chris was quick to respond to my request for service and gave an honest and thorough evaluation. He found two big problems that a real estate home inspection company totally missed. Repairs were done on schedule and on bid. I intend to recommend them to everyone I know that needs roof work. - DS

Highly recommend Chris Paulsen of Vertex Roofing for all your roofing needs. Chris is punctual, responds quickly, and is easy to reach. He inspected our roof and pointed out some serious issues that we were not aware of. Chris is very honest and recommended a repair that was very reasonable. He also reassured us that we did not have to spend a fortune that other companies had quoted.We also hired him to inspect and repair some minor roof issues on an investment property on an urgent basis. Chris exceeded our expectations and was there to help us and fix the issues in a timely manner when no other roofing company could commit as it was a very short notice.If you are looking for quality services at an affordable price, Chris Paulsen of Vertex Roofing is the right guy.

Colleen Coleman

17:54 27 May 22

Chris was great! He fixed a small leak in our roof and then when it recurred several months later, he came back and did more extensive repairs at no additional cost. Chris is very professional and committed to doing the best possible job at a reasonable price.

Robin Patterson

19:36 13 May 22

Had a new roof installed on our house and unattached garage. Great service and great price. Ending result was better than expected and made our 70+ year old house look years younger. Our account manager, Gavin, took great care of us from the quote to the final inspection. I would recommend them to anyone for any roofing or gutter needs!

Anthony Griffiths

03:31 12 May 22

Couldn’t recommend these guys enough. Gavin was very responsive and quick to put a quote together for me and help me through the selection process. Bryan and Breck notified me of some questionable framing as they were about to install shingles. It took me a month to get the framing crew back out to fix it, and Vertex was right on top of getting back on the job even after that long delay. Easily one of the best contractors I’ve worked with building my house.

Travis waddoups

23:46 09 May 22

Gavin did a great job explaining the pros and cons of the different options we had. The install crew was fast and efficient. After the install was complete we had some black marks on our stucco from the old asphalt shingled being thrown off the roof. VERTEX was great about sending a crew back to clean the stucco as well as possible. They did not ask for final payment until we were satisfied with the result. Great company that does things the right way.

Christian Kocherscheidt

15:11 09 May 22

Breck, Seth, and the install crew were great to work with. Very responsive to questions and gave the most detailed bid out of the three I got. Offered a price match guarantee. The installers were polite and worked a long date to complete the job. Left the job site remarkably clean - I found a handful of nails but given the amount of debris I'm happy with how they left it.

Mark C

17:52 27 Apr 22

Vertex Roofing and Chris were amazing. I had a small leak in my ceiling right underneath my chimney and it was an issue of flashing not being sealed appropriately. I contacted half a dozen or so other roofing companies and one even said we should redo the roof entirely with a bid of over $20K which I thought was ridiculous for a small leak with a clearly identifiable issue. Chris came out and gave us some tips on how to repair the gap and properly caulk. It turned out to be a very minor issue; saved us a ton of money and Chris super honest. Will definitely go with Vertex for all future roofing issues!

Vincent La

00:23 19 Apr 22

Vertex was very professional, they came out, gave us a quote, came back and repaired our roof, price was very reasonable, Chris did an outstanding job, we couldn't have ask for a better person to work with, their secretary was also top notch to work with. We had called several different roofing companies, I would definitely recommend Vertex, fast, efficient, very reliable.

Richard Flores

17:43 14 Apr 22

Vertex Roofing came in and fixed what others couldn't. We've had leaking problems on and off for a long time and they saw the problem and fixed it professionally and quickly.

Andrew Jensen

12:05 11 Apr 22

Working with Vertex Roofing was a great experience. Different than many other contractors, they assessed the problem, told us a solution and quoted us, and were on the job almost immediately. Follow up afterwards was also fantastic. I've worked with two other roofing companies lately and Vertex outshines them all. Trustworthy and fast. You don't have to worry about anything when you work with Vertex.

John Porter

16:44 09 Apr 22

Vertex Roofing has great customer service and is very professional. They were responsive and worked with me to get a quote that was to my satisfaction. They provided timelines of when to expect my roof installation. Vertex replaced the roof very quickly - in one day, and cleaned up all the fallen debris around the house. Highly recommend!

Phung Nguyen

04:35 20 Mar 22

Gavin and Breck were awesome to work with. We love our new metal roof!

Tiffany Panter

20:56 16 Mar 22

Wow, I only got an estimate, but Gavin, my sales rep was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. He explained everything very well and was very well versed about all aspects of roofing. Very impressed with this sales rep & company, I won't hesitate to get back with them and put them at the top of my list when time comes for a new roof. Super experience, kudos!

Roof/vent damage caused interior leaking and water damage. Chris was able to assist in stopping the water and is in the process of helping to determine needed repairs. Sidney was great to assist and Chris was awesome.

Ginette Bott

16:50 16 Dec 21

Highly recommended. Vertex did a full tear off replacement of the roof on my home. The team did great work, from quoting with Seth, to execution with Breck & team. Very happy with the result and quality of work.

Tom Santoro

01:58 16 Dec 21

They are great and always fair Devin is great to work with..Christopher was great as well.

Paul Green

20:23 30 Nov 21

Gavin was especially helpful and informative in setting up the job. He made the extra effort to ensure all details were handled to my satisfaction. The foreman, Brian, was on site and available to answer all my questions and concerns. Brett checked in on the job when it was completed and fixed an area that was questionable. They actual workers showed up early and worked hard in the cold until there was no daylight. Everyone was polite and courteous. I was always able to contact and talk to someone. I would highly recommend Vertex Roofing, they did a great job.

Vertex Roofing is a great company to deal with. Worked with my insurance to get every dollar needed for the job. They removed 3 layers, installed new shingles, ridge venting in a single day. Roof was complete minutes before multiple rain storms. The clean up was good for the current conditions.The end result is amazing!Thanks to the roofing/gutter crew and my salesman(Seth) for the great work. Would recommend!

Nixxon

17:04 30 Oct 21

We had a pain of a roof to replace, 2 layers of shingles to remove, multiple boards rotted, incorrect vents installed, and a high pitch on our roof. Their team did an amazing job with cleanup after the shingle removal. Management was very communicative during the whole process to ensure their team was working diligently to complete the job in a timely manner, and also did an inspection after installation to ensure it was done correctly, and to the best of their ability. We used this company on a recommendation, and have recommended it to many others since. Amazing job!

Emelie Athmann

15:30 08 Oct 21

I used Vertex for a roof replacement in a house I recently purchased. Seth was incredible to work with and took the time to make sure my estimate was correct. He explained the estimate line-by-line, including where the final price could potentially vary once the work was done. For the record, I didn’t pay a penny more than I was quoted. Seth also stayed in touch with me between the time the work was booked and when it actually began to let me know what was going on.The crew that came and did the work was extremely professional, organized, and thorough in completing the work as requested and cleaning up the job site afterward.I got quotes from other companies that never even paid me a visit in person. I highly recommend Vertex to anyone who wants the work done properly and wants to have confidence in the final product they get.

Ben Delliskave

20:46 22 Sep 21

Very happy with my experience with this company. Quick turnaround time. When we did have a minor issue, they handled it quickly and professionally - you can't ask for more. Things happen, it's how the company responds that really tells you what the company is about. I appreciate them handling the issue and being professional about it. Thank you!

The Vertex team was all very prompt and provided great service when we needed a leak repaired on our roof. The came out and provided a quote within a few days of calling and had the repair done the following week. We will certainly use them again!

Anthony Johnson

17:00 31 Aug 21

After the mini-hurricane hit we had water coming through a can light in our kitchen. Vertex responded quickly and did both a diagnosis and a repair on a tricky roof/chimney. Great folks. Don’t hesitate to call them.

17:46 26 Jul 21

Vertex roofing did what they said they would do and stood behind their work until the job was complete and in today’s business world that is extremely important for the customer.

Overall Gavin was awesome and assisted with all questions we had . If you plan on getting gutters and down spouts please know that they contract these out to be installed by another company Superior, we were not told that initially until we were ready to do the gutters. The company they use are not the greatest in communication.

Melissa Corona (DHHS)

16:00 13 Jul 21

Vertex is a superior roofing company dedicated to customer service. Devin is knowledgeable and professional in his attitude and approach. Customer satisfaction is his number one concern. He listens attentively and ensures attention to detail. His employee, Chris, is an expert craftsman who understands the nuances and artistry involved in the finish details such as counterflashing. My roof is beautiful! Please call Vertex for your roofing needs. You can rest easy that you are in caring and competent hands!

Nancy Gibbs

17:34 12 Jul 21

The crew handled a tough weather situation, and dealt with any issues that came up without delay.

Dan Moser

16:06 01 Jul 21

Could not be happier with Vertex Roofing. Everyone from sales to installation (and later, shingle replacement after a storm) was simply excellent. This isn't a fly-by-night outfit--they are local, insured, bonded, all that jazz, but it's their service that makes the grade.

SK Davis

19:01 28 Jun 21

The owner is very nice and professional. He will answer all your questions when explaining the product and installation of all items for roofing.He crew foreman is also very nice and will answer any questions while the work is happening. He handles all the needs of the crewmen doing the work.

Rebecca Arlint

20:30 01 Jun 21

Our new roof looks amazing! Love that they had energy efficient options. Everyone we encountered with the company was so nice and helpful, especially Gavin and Cydney! The work was done in a timely manner and not just to completion but to our satisfaction. They came back and fixed a few things we called attention to without a problem. Would highly recommend Vertex!

Sammie Fugate

18:42 26 May 21

Listened to my concerns, were timely and neat when cleaning up the property afterwards.

Leslie Clement

18:28 18 May 21

We've had our roof worked on by several large roofing companies over the decades. This was by far the best work we've ever had done. We are confident this will last us a very long time. Thank you for the superior and fast work!!! --Update, couple of years later and still couldn't be happier with their work! Had them do other properties and had the same great experience.

Brent Elieson

03:01 12 May 21

Vertex was really great to work with. They are responsive, they did a great job on my roof, cleaned up afterwards, overall were really awesome. They were super fast, my whole roof tear off and installation only took one business day. My roof looks fantastic. They did run into my garage door accidentally, but promptly informed me of what had happened and covered the cost to replace the door. I think that says a lot about their integrity, professionalism and accountability.

Emerson Lebleu

19:40 05 May 21

Gavin and Breck were awesome to work with. Gavin explained the options and provided me with a very competitive bid. Breck helped coordinate the roofers and was able to work with my schedule. The roof looks great and happy with the experience. Thanks!

Craig Hermansen

15:55 20 Apr 21

Gavin, Breck, and the Vertex team were great to work with. I had my whole roof replaced after a huge wind storm brought a tree down. Gavin walked me through the process, helped navigate my insurance coverage concerns, and remained very responsive the entire time. Breck and his team were efficient and comprehensive, taking down 3 layers of previous roofing and replacing the whole thing within 2 days. Overall a very positive experience and I would highly recommend Vertex to anyone in need of roofing work.

Terence Singh

17:42 21 Mar 21

I received several bids and am happy with my decision to use Vertex. I'm working at home and the fact that the crew was so efficient and could complete the job in a day was great for me. I feel like they did quality work and everyone there was friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend them to others.

Angela G

15:10 18 Mar 21

Gavin, Breck, and Vertex crews delivered on-time and in-budget roofing rehab services in a single day. They showed up early and knocked out the work in record time with a sizable and well-trained workforce. I took multiple bids for the work. Vertex had the most credible approach and realistic estimate. If you are looking for a completely reliable roofing contractor - look no further. These folks provide phenomenal services that focus on customer needs.

Rod McDaniels

01:41 08 Mar 21

From the first conversation with Gavin I knew i’d found the right roofing company. Gavin worked tirelessly with my insurance company to make sure the job was done right. Together Gavin, Breck and Adrian made this a great experience. Thanks again Vertex!

Robert Scott

21:50 04 Jan 21

We have done multiple roof installation/roof replacements for office buildings with Vertex Roofing. Professional, timely and quality roofing company! I would highly recommend them for your next TPO or residential roof.

These guys came last year and installed a roof for us. From start to finish they made the process easy. They offer financing at 0% which we didn't end up using but was a great option to have. Their guys came out and got the roof done in one day, which included tear down and installation. They cleaned up after themselves and didn't leave nary a nail in the yard. The shingles we picked have a lifetime warranty, and I called them last week just to have them double check after some pretty gnarly winds in my area. Our rep came back out and checked everything for us and of course we were in tip top shape. I will recommend this company to anyone, I've had great experiences.

I called in a panic, they had someone come out quickly to limit the damage from the strong windstorm, then they came back and made the additional repairs and cleanup that was needed. They were the "A" team.

Devin was responsive, prompt, clean and professional. Will use Vertex again for all our roofing needs. They were great!

My roofing job is not yet done so I'm saving the last star for when the job is complete so I can write a more fair review on the actual services rendered. Demand is very high for roofs since the September 8th windstorm. As a result of that and because of covid-caused manufacturing delays, some raw materials are not readily available. At first I did feel like the communication was poor (sounds like an internal communication issue) but when I did finally get in touch with the project manager, he was very helpful. Despite this problem that all roofing companies are currently facing, Vertex made an effort to find a solution for my needs which I really appreciate.

I had reviewed several roofing companies to repair my condo's 32-year-old roof and decided on Vertex. They gave me a competitive price and timeline. They were there for 2 1/2 days and removed the shingles and rotted wood and replaced them with new shingles and a waterproof membrane over my two porches where water had been collecting. Vertex did a good and quick repair and they kept in contact with me daily during the process. Good customer service. I'd use them again.

Installed a roof in new house. So far (after a few months) all is well. The company is professional and their price is competitive. I would hire them again.

The quality of the finished project was excellent. We had a asphalt shingle roof replaced with a standing seam, hidden fastener, metal roofing system. There was an issue with the initial material estimate of roof, and was approximately 1/4-1/3 short on materials which resulted in a delay of materials being delivered and the roof being completed by a few days. Cleanup was average and could have been improved by laying tarps down to catch the small depris such as nails and staples from the removal of the old materials. The workers on site, over the phone, and follow-up were all polite and professional. Cyndie (I think), the office manager called after completion of the project to ensure everything went well. Overall I would recommend Vertex Roofing.

Vertex Roofing was very professional in all aspects of the re-roofing process. What impressed me the most - not only did the job look great, but the clean up was outstanding. I would highly recommend this company to anyone that needs a roof re-done.

Awesome experience working with Vertex! Contractor (Gavin) was great to work with, responsive and went above and beyond in helping us get the roof completed in a tight time frame. The crew was awesome - very respectful and considerate when on the property. Thanks Vertex!
