Hi, I’m Frank Rogers and I would like to show you a few simple tips so you can choose the best roof for your money.  I have personally been a licensed contractor in Hawaii since 1979.

LeakMaster installs and repairs ALL types of roofs–Residential, Commercial, Codominium, and new construction. My opinions are based on 32 years of experience– however they are still only my opinions. I could be wrong. Please forgive me if I over simplify my subject. We are both in a hurry. Now, let’s get started…

 

First of all, do you even need a new roof or will a repair better fit your budget. I originally started LeakMaster to specialize in roof repairs. We won’t try and sell you a new roof if all you need is a guaranteed leak repair. It’s in our genes–and in our name. We also provide Emergency Tarping Services to get your dry sooner.

 

Now, let’s compare roof systems. Do you have a flat roof or a sloped roof? That answer will determine what type of roof materials you need to compare. Let’s take a look at these popular systems, flashing on your screen now. There are Pros and Cons to all of them, and they all have different price points. Let’s take a closer look at one of them as an example. Here you can see the Pros and Cons of Metal Roofs. You can also see where it falls in the pricing spectrum: Low, Medium, or High. Finally, there’s “LeakMaster’s Bottom Line”–our opinion of where this system is best suited.

 

When you see a roof type that you like, go to the video down below, for instance– “Metal Roofs” and examine that system in more detail. Below the video you will see links to some popular brands of that roof, for even more clarity of comparison.

 

To have LeakMaster visit your site for a fast, free estimate call us at 808-591-1900 or fill out the contact form on this page. You can also visit our unique COOL ROOF STORE at 575 Cooke Street in Kaka’ako, 2 blocks Ewa of Sports Authority to see our roof samples close up. Oh, by the way, don’t be surprised if you see some exotic Electric Cars charging up there. Green Energy Outlet (GEO) is our sister company and Hawaii’s first public car charging station. You can also see examples of how we can integrate Solar Photo Voltaic panels into our roofing system.

 

If you have any questions at all, or disagree with any of my my opinions, please feel free to call me at 808-591-1900, or post your comments on our Roof Blog below.

Mahalo, and thanks for listening.

Roof Leak Repairs

Flat roofs are much more likely to leak than sloped roofs. But, it doesn’t have to be that way if you follow a few simple rules.

There are two main types of coatings – water based acrylics and solvent based silicones. Each has their fans and detractors…

Leakmaster made it’s name in roof repairs. We like a big job as much as any other roofer–but in this economy a guaranteed repair, done right, can keep you dry.

Metal Roofs

Asphalt Shingles

Sloped Roofs

These fall into 2 categories: “Standing Seam” metal roofs which don’t have any exposed fasteners (a good thing!) Second place goes to “Exposed Fastened Panels” which are cheaper but require maintenance over time.

Look around you. From Kahala to Kaneohe these are the most popular roofs out there. They vary a lot in price and warranty. Here’s our take…

Like it or not, a sloped roof is the most visible part of a house–and a status symbol. It can boost a home’s value if you choose right.
