Sep 26, 2022 | Roofing Company, Roofing Contractor
Your house is an important investment, and your roof is a vital component of that investment. Whether you need a full roof replacement or simply some repairs to problem areas of your roof, hiring a quality
local roofing contractor is very important.
The Importance of Hiring a Quality Local Roofing Company
Working with a quality local roofing contractor is the first and most important step in making sure your roofing project begins correctly. A good local roofer will know all the required installation codes to follow, any paperwork that is required, and will carefully guide the project through to a successful installation in compliance with state requirements. While codes and compliance may not be high on your priority list today, it will be when your sell your home!
Another important reason to source your roofing needs from a local company is availability should any problems arise in the years following your roof repair or installation. There are many contractors who come into an area from out of state, undercut the local roofing companies, and put up signs advertising the work being done in your neighborhood, attracting your attention as well as your neighbors. The work is done quickly and poorly, with no warranty on their workmanship. Once the workers leave, that out-of-town company is no longer accessible by phone. That is why local and established roofing companies far outweigh the potential cost savings!
What to Look for in a Local Roofing Contractor
Here are the important questions to ask before you invest tens of thousands of dollars in your roof.
- Is the roofing company licensed, bonded, and insured?
- How long has the roofing contractor been in business?
- Does the roofing contractor offer warranties on their workmanship?
- Is the contractor certified by roofing manufacturers?
- Can you easily reach the roofing company by phone?
- Does the roofing contractor have local working address vs. a P.O. box or out-of-state address?
- Is the owner of the roofing company available to answer your questions or concern?
- Does the roofing contractor have positive reviews? And more than just a handful?
In general, if a roofing company has been in business for many years, has a lot of solid reviews, stands behind their workmanship, and is certified by roofing manufacturers for the installation of the roofing shingles you have chosen, then you will benefit from a long-lasting roof for your home that will look and perform for many years to come.

May 9, 2022 | PACE Financing
PACE financing is widely used across the United State to help fund energy efficiency upgrades and disaster resiliency improvements for homeowners. PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) can also be used to fund energy improvements such as attic insulation, air sealing, cool roofs, and more.
How Does PACE Work?
The PACE program can be used for residential and commercial properties. The PACE loan is attached to the property and payments are made along with your tax assessment. Since the PACE loan is attached to the property, it stays with the property in the event of transfer of ownership. The property serves as collateral for the loan, that is the reason the debt is tied to the property as opposed to the owner.
PACE Benefits
PACE financing does not require any upfront down payment. There are no monthly payments. PACE loans are repaid through property assessments as an add on to property taxes, and therefore may be a tax write-off. We suggest consulting a tax expert for details. The financing is typically spread out over a period of 10-20 years. PACE loan eligibility is based on the equity in your home, your payment history on your mortgage, and your ability to pay the property assessment.
Once you are approved for a PACE loan, you will need to find a roofing contractor that accepts PACE financing. PACE programs have grown in popularity over the years and are much easier to access than traditional financing. We are pleased to announce that Harlan Quality Roofing does work with PACE financing and can assist you with any questions you have about the program.
If you are ready for a new roof and would like to consider PACE funding, contact us today for a quote and guidance on the application process.

Dec 8, 2021 | Roof Repair
Wind and rain are common weather conditions, but when they strike together and strike hard, their combined efforts could spell trouble for your roof. The heavy wind may lift and tear shingles, debris may fall on the roof causing damage, then the rain beats down and makes a complete mess of the situation. So, what should you do when disaster strikes your roof?
You may not have experienced a damaged or leaking roof before, but you can well imagine the damage to your home and your belongings when it does. When disaster strikes, it’s important to contact a roofing contractor immediately. The moisture that has entered into your home can cause mold, mildew, and wood rot, all of which can impact the structural integrity of your home and the air you breathe.
After the Storm
Once the storm has passed, walk around the exterior of your home to assess the damage the storm has inflicted on your roof. Bring along your phone and take photos of any of the damage you can see from the ground. Specifically look for missing or damaged shingles, exposed plywood and tarpaper, dented or dangling gutters, and any other areas that appear to have been affected by the storm. Taking photos will help your roofing contractor assess the priority of your situation and will also be helpful for insurance purposes.
Be Sure to Contact Your Insurance Company
After you make that important call to your local roofing contractor, the next call should be made to your insurance company. Find out the procedure for filing a claim, what your deductible is, and anything required by you to get the ball rolling for getting reimbursement for the cost of repairs.
In the event of a significantly violent storm, many fellow homeowners in your area may be seeking our roofing repair. Roofing companies may not be able to meet the demand. Having a local, established roofing contractor that you do business with is an important asset. Be sure to accurately convey the extent of your damages and ask for a referral if your preferred roofing company is already booked out with roof repairs.
Being Prepared is Half the Victory
If you keep your roof well-maintained and have a great working relationship with a reputable local roofing company, you are as prepared as you can be when it comes to natural disasters.
Be prepared, stay safe, and contact Harlan Roofing when you need any assistance with your roof. A local, quality roofing company is your best go-to when disaster strikes your roof.
