Craft Contractors Remodeling offers roofing services for all Maine homes and businesses including:
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing last longer, stands up to the elements and is better for the environment. You will find that your new metal roof provides incredible benefits. Every single day the roof of a building receives the brunt of the elements. Every day it is subjected to one or more of the following: wind, rain, snow and a direct bombardment of UV rays. It stands to reason that the investment you make in your roof protects the entire investment of your home. A metal roof is the surest way to secure the investment you’ve made in your property because it outperforms any other roofing material.
In support of this are manufacturers’ warranties that are far in excess of anything else ever offered in the industry. Many of our products have a 30 year unconditional warranty on the paint finish alone! Many of our products have a 40 year warranty against defect. In the past, with other roofing options, warranties like this were unheard of!
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material used today. They are manufactured as strip shingles, interlocking shingles, and large individual shingles in a variety of colors and weights. In recent years, the laminated two-ply asphalt shingle has become ever popular. Because two layers of shingles are laminated together, there is more weight and better protection than with a one-ply, three tab shingle. Most three-tab shingles have a 15- to 20-year limited warranty compared to 25 to 30 years for laminated shingles. That is 5 to 15 years more service. Now you can get a Lifetime transferable warranty.

Flat Roofing
For a flat roof, you must consider that the roof provides a waterproof casing for the job. Generally in flat roofs there are one or two layers of materials for water resistance. The need of different type of roofing materials depends on several factors such as the location, weather conditions and natural elements. The flat roof should be designed in such a way that the accumulated water can be directed into gutters, downspouts and drains to avoid accumulation of water. The materials that are used in flat roofs should not only be long lasting but also cost effective.
