Don’t Hire a Residential Roofer Without Proper Insurance
Never, Ever, Ever Put Yourself at Risk by Hiring a Residential Roofer Without the Proper Insurance
A roofing contractor shows up at your home to give you a free roofing quote. The roofer seems like a nice enough guy and his roofing estimate is even nicer—hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars, less than the roofing estimates you’ve received from other San Mateo County roofing companies. Stop! Before you sign a roofing contract or give a roofer a deposit, give serious thought about why this roofer’s bid is so unbelievably low.

Radiant Barriers Worth Extra Cost?
What is Radiant Barrier and is It Worth the Extra Cost on a Bay Area Roof?
Radiant barrier is a member of the insulation family, but most homeowners are more familiar with fiberglass, cellulose and other home insulation materials.

What You Should Know About Choosing the Right Roofing Material for Your Home
Selecting the right material for reroofing your home can seem daunting. The first step is to become familiar with various roofing shingles. Signature Roofing, Inc. only provides roofing quotes for and installs asphalt roofing shingles. We’ll get to the reasons why in a bit.
Asphalt shingles are known by various generic names such as composition shingles, asphalt shingles, fiberglass asphalt shingles, architectural shingles, designer shingles, and dimensional shingles. Any time you hear those names, you know you’re dealing with an asphalt roofing shingle.
