Welcome to The RoofGuys Inc. Website
Quick History
Started by journeyman carpenter Charlie Baker in 1994. after graduating a 4 year carpentry apprenticeship in 1991. After spending a couple years as a union carpenter the union work in Tucson became non existent and started out on his own. CSB Contracting was born, and soon after The Roofguys. A Roofguy was during the yellow page days. Nobody could remember CSB Blaa,blaa, blah. But when I came to appointments and a kid, or other loved one answered the door I would tell them "I'm Charlie and I'm her to look at the roof!"........
The loved one would often call out "Hey Dad....The RoofGuy is here!" And The RoofGuys were born.
Reroofing
Reroofing, sometimes referred to as an overlay, is the process of putting a new roof on top of an existing one. Because no disassembly or removal of the old roofing is required, this is a speedier and more cost-effective restoration procedure.
The RoofGuys and A Roofguy are roof coating and maintenance companies. We do everything short of tearing off roofs. We don't have the manpower or equipment for tearing your roof off. So when we tell you it is gone and you must do a tear off you know we aren't just trying to make the sale! Our Lifetime Polyester Reinforced coating system is an excellent solution. We have 100's in place, and the one on my house is 25 years old and going strong! When you choose this solution you are saving $$$$ on labor and installing it on your roof. It is also "greener" as we are not putting as much debris in landfills.
Roof Replacement
When replacing your roof, you must remove all existing materials, including the underlayment. That's why the process is sometimes known as a tear-off. After stripping the deck to its frame, your contractor will inspect it for issues before installing new materials. Often times a group of men with shovels and pry bars and scrapers attack your roof and remove and sometimes destroy any mechanical projections.(this is why all new vents, pipe collars, and sometimes skylights need replacing.)
Why Choose One Over the Other
While both are effective roof repair techniques, there are a few factors to consider before choosing one over the other. If you opt to reroof, you won't have to collect and dispose of old roofing material. That requires more labor and a dumpster rental, adding to the time and cost of completing the job. Reroofing can also be a good option if you're looking to sell your property and want to keep repair costs low to maximize your profit.
When we reroof with our LifetimePolyester Reinforced Elastomeric roof system no petroleum asphalt products are used, and is stronger and lighter than traditional 3 ply asphalt roof systems. However, this option can't be used if you already have an overlay since building regulations prohibit having more than two roof systems to maintain the property's structural safety.
The Lifetime Polyester Elastomeric Roof System can be applied without removal of solar panels usually.
When you detect severe roof damage, such as decaying framework, sagging underlayment, water damage, and missing shingles, roof replacement is recommended. An overhaul may cost more but will provide you with a more dependable roof when a roof is too far gone.
