Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles remain the most popular roofing material in the United States, covering roughly 75 percent of all residential homes. Their popularity is well earned. Modern architectural shingles offer excellent wind resistance rated up to 130 miles per hour, come in dozens of colors and profiles, and carry manufacturer warranties ranging from 30 years to lifetime coverage. We install premium shingle products that resist algae growth, withstand impact from hail, and maintain their appearance for decades.
Our installation process for shingle roofing is thorough and methodical. All of our work is completed by Mike and his son, and our trained crew. We start with a complete tear-off of old materials down to the decking, inspect the substrate for damage or rot, install ice and water shield in vulnerable areas, apply synthetic underlayment across the entire roof surface, and then lay each shingle course with precision. We pay close attention to detail and thoroughly clean up our space when the job is finished.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing has surged in popularity, now accounting for approximately 17 percent of the residential roofing market. Standing seam metal panels and metal shingle systems offer exceptional longevity, often lasting 50 years or more with minimal maintenance. Metal reflects solar radiant heat, which can reduce cooling costs by up to 25 percent during hot summer months. Available in steel, aluminum, and copper options, metal roofing suits a variety of architectural styles found throughout Gloversville, Johnstown, Broadalbin, Amsterdam, Perth, Glen, & Glenville, NY.
Installation of metal roofing requires specialized knowledge and precision cutting techniques. Proper thermal expansion allowances, fastener placement, and flashing details are critical to a watertight installation. With our quarter century of hands-on experience, we understand these technical nuances and execute every metal roof installation to exacting standards. Go with the trusted name in the community when choosing a crew for your metal roofing project.
Tile Roofing
Clay and concrete tile roofing delivers a distinctive aesthetic that many homeowners find irresistible. Tile roofs are extraordinarily durable, with many lasting 75 to 100 years when properly installed. They resist fire, insects, and rot, making them an excellent long-term investment. Concrete tiles also come in profiles that mimic wood shake, slate, and other traditional materials, offering versatility in design.
Tile installation demands careful attention to structural load requirements since tiles weigh significantly more than asphalt shingles. We evaluate your roof structure before installation and recommend reinforcement if needed. As the trusted name in roofing, you can count on us for flawless results every time. Upon request, we will gladly provide customer references from satisfied tile roofing customers in Gloversville, Johnstown, Broadalbin, Amsterdam, Perth, Glen, & Glenville, NY.
EPDM and TPO Flat Roofing Systems
For commercial buildings and residential flat roof sections, EPDM and TPO membranes provide outstanding waterproofing performance. EPDM, or ethylene propylene diene monomer, is a synthetic rubber membrane known for its flexibility and resistance to UV radiation. TPO, or thermoplastic polyolefin, offers heat-welded seams that create a monolithic waterproof barrier and excellent energy efficiency due to its reflective white surface.
Each system has distinct advantages depending on the application. Key factors we evaluate when recommending flat roofing materials include:
- Building use and foot traffic expectations because high-traffic roofs benefit from more puncture-resistant membranes
- Climate and sun exposure since TPO performs exceptionally well in areas with intense solar heat
- Roof size and complexity as larger commercial surfaces may favor fully adhered EPDM for cost efficiency
- Insulation requirements which affect overall energy performance and code compliance
We hold an A+ rating and are accredited by the Better Business Bureau®, reflecting our commitment to quality craftsmanship and honest business practices on every roofing project we undertake. Whether you need shingles, metal, tile, or a flat roofing membrane, Mike Peters Contracting delivers expert installation backed by decades of proven experience.
