To determine if your home needs a new roof consider the age of roof, it's appearance, and whether or not there are leaks. Typical shingle roofs last approximately 12-20 years.
Regular inspections can help you monitor the appearance of your roof. Our experts will photograph what you cannot see from the ground, such as physical damage, broken shingles, or granule surfacing loss.

Why is a chimney crown important?
The crown of your chimney is an important aspect to keeping moisture from entering the chimney and therefore your home. Damaged or cracked crowns allow water to trickle in and may cause damage to your entire home. They are made of concrete which is resistant to moisture.
Why is fixing a cracked chimney crown important?
Water will enter the chimney if the crown is cracked, eventually breaking the mortar down and causing extensive chimney damage. During the winter, this water will freeze and thaw repeatedly and this can crack your actual chimney. Once water finds its way into your chimney cavity, it will find its way into your home causing more damage, resulting in costly repairs.
Can I just add cement to my cracked chimney crown?
What does Mr. Roof use to repair cracked chimney crowns?
Why is my chimney crown cracked?
Chimney crowns are made of cement because it is resistant to water, but because cement is not flexible the crown will ultimately crack. At Mr. Roof, we use a special flexible sealant to fix chimney cracks so they won't reappear and cause damage to your chimney and home. Expansion and contraction of masonry due to fluctuations in temperature is a common reason for cracking.
Top reasons for cracked chimney crowns:
- Concrete shrinkage
- Damage due to water freezing, then thawing
- A shift in the chimney structure

Gutters
How often should I clean my gutters?
How are gutters installed?
Slope and support both come into play when it comes to assessing installation techniques for your gutter system. Slope determines the rate that rain will be able to pour down the gutter. Gutter hangers are crucial to the gutter support system, and the climate in your area will determine spacing.
How many downspouts do I really need?
You’ll want to see a downspout every 20 to 40 feet, depending on the slope of your roof and the rooflines.
How do I know if I need new gutters?
How long do gutters last?
If you take the time to clean your gutters and follow proper maintenance protocols, your gutters should last about 20 years without needing a replacement.

Gutters installed incorrectly will cause problems for your entire roofing system. Call Mr. Roof for an inspection at no cost and we'll give you an estimate for our gutter replacement services.

Yes. By keeping cool or warm air in, depending on the season, professional attic insulation can lower your energy bills by as much as $600 per year.
Why insulate an attic?
What is the best type of attic insulation?
There are three types of attic insulation: batt, blown, or sprayed. Batt uses large pieces of pre-formed insulation. Blown-in insulation uses a hose to give a complete layer of insulation, filling in gaps and crevices. Sprayed uses a similar technique to blown, but is considerably more expensive. Mr. Roof uses blown-in glass insulation to provide coverage without breaking the bank.
