What We Do
Roof Installation
High-quality roof installation protects the house from exterior threats like sun, snow, hail, debris, and fallen branches. A roof, professionally installed by a licensed roofing contractor, also improves a building’s energy efficiency, which leads to lower utility bills. When the Patterson Construction team is on the job, the new roof installation adds significant value to any building. A well-built roof protects household members from the elements and reflects their personal style.
Roof Replacement
Some business owners aren't sure whether a roof replacement is necessary. The roof likely needs a replacement if there are cracked or curled shingles, missing granules, continuous roof leaks, or the roof hasn't been upgraded for over 20 years. A reliable roofing contractor, such as Patterson Construction, will be able to provide an accurate assessment. They can replace the old and worn-out roof in record time.
Roof Repair
Replacing the roof isn't always required. Some roof damage might seem severe at first glance, but it requires a minimum amount of repairs. If fallen tree branches following a storm cause problems, an efficient roof repair by Patterson Construction may be all that is needed. On the other hand, when large roof pieces are missing, or the construction is too old for repair, a roof replacement is a better option.
Roof Ventilation
Although proper ventilation is the keystone of indoor temperature maintenance, not every building requires the same ventilation system. A reputable roofing contractor will be able to provide a ventilation solution that will prevent the attic from overheating. At Patterson Construction, we offer power vents, turbine vents, box vents, off-ridge vents, cupola vents, and soffit vents. Even in colder climates, roof ventilation is essential as it prevents mold development by letting moisture escape.
Commercial Roofing
Business owners are aware of the importance of the structural integrity of their commercial properties. Functionality is vital, but they also want to ensure that the commercial building has a roof that looks the part and complements the business. Faulty roofing installation jeopardizes the office building and potentially threatens employees' health. Building and maintaining a commercial roof is no small feat; only professionals should do it. Hire a professional roofing contractor such as Paterson Construction to assess a commercial roof and offer the property owner a viable roofing solution.
Skylights
A beautiful skylight can improve a space’s aesthetics. It's likely the first feature people notice when they walk into the room. However, many business owners are reluctant to install a skylight because they fear an unwanted increase in room temperature or leak. It's only a problem if the roofing contractors install an ineffective skylight, or install it correctly. Fortunately, Patterson Construction experts have installed countless skylights and have the tools and expertise to control the impact of the heat and prevent water leaks.

Benefits of Timely Roof Repairs and Maintenance
Business owners are understandably concerned about roof repairs, especially when the roof leaks and asphalt shingles have seen better days. An experienced roofer will attest that fixing those small cracks and replacing missing shingles saves money in the long run. Additionally, roofing maintenance services give business owners an insight into the condition of their roofs.
However, those who aren't convinced there are benefits to roof repairs in the scheme of commercial property maintenance should consider the following advantages.
Extended Lifespan of the Roof
Allowing the roofing contractor to inspect the roof and manage necessary repairs will ensure the roof lasts longer. An inspection can detect hidden roofing issues and allow business owners to take action immediately.
Gives Business Owners Peace of Mind
A licensed roofing company often handles maintenance and repairs, which means there's no need for business owners to deal with roof repairs on their own. Patterson Construction’s roofers will find problems, apply the best solutions, and allow our clients to relax.
Durable Protection
Buildings in certain areas are more vulnerable to weather damage, specifically storm damage. Business owners should consider making minor roof repairs and reinforcements before inclement weather causes damage. A reliable roofing contractor can do this work easily.
Health Hazard Prevention
A significant roofing issue is mold and mildew, which tend to appear when there are ongoing roof leaks. Their development causes damage to the entire roof structure, but that's not the only issue. The presence of mold and mildew affects human health and requires immediate attention.
Better Overall Functionality
It's tempting to skip roof inspection services, brushing them off as an unnecessary expense. However, the entire process of professional roof repair services and maintenance helps prevent leaks and mold growth and provides better functionality.

-
A new roof generally helps lower energy bills. However, in addition to new roofing, check the property for drafty doors, ill-fitting windows, and a lack of insulation. All of these, in addition to roofing in poor condition, add to a property that is energy-inefficient.
Hot or cool air escaping through numerous cracks can significantly increase energy bills. Leaks force the HVAC unit to work harder, thus increasing energy expenses. A brand-new roof resolves most of these issues and makes a home more comfortable.
-
No, a single leak or minor roof leaks do not equate complete replacement. When homeowners notice leaks, they should act quickly and call us to inspect the problem further. Often, all we need to do is replace a few missing shingles, patch up tiles, reinforce sealing, or other similar repairs.
However, leaks could indicate a more serious issue if the shingle roof is more than 20 to 25 years old. In that case, together with homeowners, we weigh the options and recommend roof replacement only if it’s necessary.
-
The lifespan of a roof depends on the type of roofing material, weather conditions, and whether the roof was maintained correctly. Generally, an asphalt shingle roof lasts 15 to 30 years, while wood shingles are typically less durable and last up to 25 years.
Tile and metal roofs have the best longevity by far, with ranges from 50 to 100 years, depending on various conditions. Commercial rubber roofs should be replaced every 20 to 50 years, depending on the material and other factors.
-
When choosing a roofing company, it’s a good idea to look for online reviews, ask friends and family for recommendations, and speak with more than one company. A reputable roofing contractor should be happy to provide proof of insurance and licenses and answer every question potential clients may have.
The best roofing companies are willing to offer free quotes for specific projects. Also, they show that they understand that replacing a roof or dealing with roof repairs is a stressful time for homeowners.
-
Fall is considered the optimal season for roof replacement. As the transition to cooler weather begins, working conditions for roofers improve, and the chances of trouble-free roof replacement increase.
Furthermore, fall is when homeowners rush to prepare their homes for winter, and roof replacement is a part of that effort. Nevertheless, roof replacement is possible during all seasons, even winter. While some challenges may arise, it’s often much easier to schedule roof replacement during the off-season for roofing contractors.
-
Metal roofs are a good roofing option in Arizona.
A metal roof efficiently reflects sunlight, reducing the cooling expenses for residential and commercial properties under Arizona’s relentless sun.
The heat won’t warp the metal tiles or sheets, as often happens with asphalt shingles.
Because it doesn’t rain in Arizona year-round, there are fewer risks of corrosion development. Additionally, the metal roofing product we use is made from 95% recycled materials.
-
There’s no doubt that metal roofs are some of the most energy-efficient roofing solutions available on the market.
Their capacity to reflect sunlight and keep heat away from the building can lead to significant energy savings. A high-quality metal roof installed by professional roofers can save up to 40% on utilities.
-
Compared to other roofing solutions, metal roofs are noisy when it rains, and are the noisiest of roofing materials. This feature is undoubtedly one of the main downsides of metal roofs (unless you’re among those who find the sound of rain calming).
Thus far, there is no practical solution that completely prevents the noise from rain on a metal roof. However, installing high-quality decking can dampen the noise of a metal roof.
-
That’s an unfortunate situation that uncovers two potential problems.
First, the previous year’s installation may have been poorly executed, or the roofers failed to properly install flashings, the metal strips that stand between shingles and roof joints.
Another possibility is that after the installation, extreme weather circumstances caused shingles to break, causing minor leaks. Either way, our team can handle the issue and eliminate the leaks.
-
Walking on shingles has the potential to damage them. Ideally, homeowners should avoid propping their ladders and walking across shingle roofs. Apart from obvious safety hazards, asphalt shingles may dislodge and create gaps that can lead to leaks.
Walking on shingles may also cause granule loss, leaving them bare and more prone to deterioration. We realize that sometimes, checking the roof is essential. When walking on the shingle roof, homeowners should wear shoes with excellent traction and only stay as long as it takes to clean debris, remove leaves, or check for missing shingles.
-
Shingle roofs require underlayment, an essential protective layer that prevents moisture damage. Roof underlayment sits between roof sheathing or roof decking and shingles, and there are two main types of underlayment: felt and synthetic.
Although felt is considered old-school protection, it costs less. However, it varies in thickness. The modern solution, synthetic underlayment, installs quickly, repels water efficiently, and is tough and durable. However, this type of underlayment is more expensive.
-
The accurate term for this roofing service is “re-roofing” and sometimes “overlay.” It is okay to roof over existing shingles, and that is a service we can provide.
Naturally, re-roofing takes less time and is usually the go-to solution when the roof underlayment and decking are in excellent condition. In this case, there’s no need to remove the existing shingles, as no repairs to underlayment are required.
-
When installing a new shingle roof, homeowners have two choices: the traditional asphalt shingle and the architectural shingle. These two types have more similarities than differences, but a significant difference is that architectural shingles are more expensive.
That’s because they are designed to mimic slate or wood shake roofing. But it’s not all about the visual appeal. They are also more durable and manufacturers offer more extensive warranties on the product.
-
The home’s location, weather conditions, maintenance efforts, and other factors affect how long asphalt shingles will last.
Nearly all major asphalt shingle manufacturers claim their products are designed to last 15 and 30 years. However, the roof may be in excellent condition even after that 30-year mark, but it’s good to know what to expect.
-
A re-roof will last the same time it would if it were a new roof installation. The existing shingles underneath the re-roof can even serve as an additional layer of protection against leaks.
However, there are challenges to consider with re-roofing. For example, if roofers missed damages in the underlayment or decking or the contractor did a poor job of re-roofing the property, there may be problems.
-
Roof damage comes in many forms and some damage is easy to spot, while some is not. With a shingle roofing system, signs of damage include finding granule collection in the gutters, visibly broken, warped, or curling shingles, and missing shingles.
Clogged and leaky gutters also indicate roof damage, so it’s crucial to conduct an inspection. Another clear sign that a roof is damaged is visible water damage and staining on the walls. Mold, mildew, and rotting wood in the attic are telltale signs that a roof requires repair or replacement.
-
Homeowners have many ways to ensure their roof has a long lifespan. First, when installing a new roof, opt for high-quality roofing materials. Sure, it’s a considerable investment, but it’s a more prudent decision in the long run.
Choosing a trustworthy roofing contractor can have a significant effect on the project’s outcome and the roof’s longevity. A ventilation system will help immensely, along with superior quality flashings. Most importantly, routine maintenance and annual inspections are crucial.
-
There is no perfect answer to this question. A roof might leak if one shingle is missing, though naturally, the chances are much greater if more than one shingle is missing.
The critical question is where the missing shingle is located. For instance, if its location was at a low point of the roof valleys, the chances of water and debris accumulation are higher than if it is at the peak of the roof.
We understand that calling a roofer for one missing shingle might seem like a hassle. But vigilance in this regard can spare homeowners future headaches.
-
New roofs need vents for three critical reasons.
Proper ventilation will prevent the chances of uneven indoor temperatures. Roof ventilation stops the extreme temperature changes you can experience when walking from room to room.
Another benefit is energy efficiency. A vented roof offers an escape for excess heat and ensures the AC isn’t overworked.
Finally, with ventilation, the roof’s lifespan significantly increases by protecting it from heat buildup and subsequent damage, making it an essential addition to any new roofing system.
-
Although there are always exceptions, generally, a roof needs one vent per 300 square feet of the attic area. However, if the attic doesn’t have a vapor barrier, the calculation changes to one vent per 150 square feet.
Another challenge is a roof with a higher slope angle, wherein the roofers must find an optimal solution to how many vents are required.
-
Roofing ventilation is more versatile than most people realize. There are several different systems, and we recommend the best option to each client.
We carry turbine, power, ridge, off-ridge, soffit, box, and cupola vents. Generally, ridge vents are most popular, as they are long and narrow and run along the roof’s edge.
-
While a skylight may increase the indoor temperature during summertime, this is not always the case. The skylight’s position and the house’s size make a significant difference.
If the skylight is located in the area of the house that receives ample shade in the summer, then there’s no issue. Furthermore, proper insulation will reduce the chances of a skylight increasing indoor temperature and some skylight manufacturers offer shades to reduce the light when needed.
-
We offer professional skylight repair and installation. Some skylight repairs include re-sealing the window and dealing with cracks in the glass. We can also address flashing damage and offer thorough inspections for mold and mildew growth.
When skylights are not correctly installed, the leaks are difficult to contain, and homeowners may need to consider replacing them with a new, properly installed unit.
