The new way of estimating roofing cost

Blues Brothers Construction roofing company is moving into the future with an innovative software technology of estimating the cost of a new roof. How this works is a complicated series of intricate calculations which gives us the edge over almost all other roofing contractor’s. First, we will take the address of the property to obtain a satellite image of the roof. Next, our trained staff takes the satellite image and determines the correlation between the image size and actual size to provide the exact calculations of the roof dimensions. We then take the roof measurements and input them into our software.

How the software works from here is very complex and a special secret but we will give a brief explanation to help you understand the process. How a roofing contractor comes up with an estimate for a new roof is based on 4 major cost factors; the first being dump cost which is calculated based on the type and size of your roof. Second, is material cost which is the most complicated formula; it is based on the type of roof being installed, the underlayment chosen, style of roof attachment, and the type of building code being used. Third, is labor cost which is calculated based on the type and size of your roof. Fourth, is the permit cost that will be based on the municipality where the property is located and the total cost of the contract. Fifth, is our overhead & profit which is based on the total of all 4 major cost factors plus 15%; which is below the industry standard of of 30%.

Finally, the software will create your estimate based on the dimensions and the specifications by the manufacture of the type of roof you want to install. Depending on the roof chosen at the time, rebates and tax credits will automatically factor into your estimate and reduce the total cost of your roof. By using this technology our estimates are usually less then our competitors since we know the exact cost of the job before the job is even started which leaves no room for hidden surprises!!!!

Inspecting Your Roof Before Hurricane Season

Who can forget hurricane Katrina and all the destruction it created in New Orleans? Certainly, no one wants to be a victim of a devastating hurricane. That's why we should employ early preparations in order to keep our house standing after a hurricane hits. Our first focus should be the roof since it has more exposure and receives the most force.

You should always get your roof inspected by a roofing contractor just before hurricane season, preferably in early summer. Also, you should conduct your own roof inspection after each severe storm. In particular, take note if there are any loose shingles or tiles and if so, fix or replace them immediately. Always make sure that roof panels are safely attached to the house so that strong winds don't peel them off and toss them out.

If anything at all looks amiss, call Blues Brothers CC and let us have a look at your roof. Don’t wait for government warnings before you prepare your house for a hurricane. By promptly inspecting your roof and preparing weeks before the hurricane season, you would save yourself from potential damages that might leave you with expensive repairs.

Am I Ready For a Solar Power Roof System?

Solar energy, the future of alternative energy, provides great benefits on a roof. However, not all roofs work well with solar energy roofing systems. Here, you will find some of the factors you need to take into consideration when choosing a solar roofing solution:

1. Roof Age
If it has been more than 15 years since anyone has worked on your roof, you should let a roofing contractor specialist take a quick look. Solar panels have a great lifespan thus make sure any home improvements on your roof is made before the actual installation.

2. Roof Direction
Solar panels get maximum sunlight exposure when placed facing South in the Northern Hemisphere, thus in order to be most effective you should place your solar panels in this direction. If your house is facing East or West it can still generate solar power. A roofing contractor will alert you if your house is in this category.

3. Roof Type
In general, most roofs support solar panels. The easiest roof type to work is a composite shingle roof. The most difficult roof type to work is the wood-shake roofs. You should hire a roof contractor with many years of experience with solar roofs and who are well educated in the types of roofs that support solar solutions.

4. Space Available
Usually, solar panels take about 1 square foot of space for every 10 watts generated. What does this mean? If you want 5,000 watts produced by your panels, you’ll need about 500 square feet of available space on your roof. Always make sure you have plenty of space for the amount of solar power you want to produce. Also, take into account that you can considerably lower your utility bill even with a smaller solar roof system.


Don't fret if your home doesn't meet some of these factors. Blues Brothers CC will work with you if your roof is less-than-ideal. We have many years of experience serving the South Florida community and many satisfied customers.

Guide To Hiring A Reliable Roofer

Many experts claim the average life of a roof is around fifteen years. If your roof is under this age, but you are having problems, it will most likely be repaired instead of having to install a new one. However, if your roof exceeds the fifteen years, you most probably will need to install a new roof. A roofing contractor should be employed to handle either repairs or new roof installs.

Always get recommendations from friends and family before hiring a roofing contractor. Also, get several quotes before determining the roofing contractor to hire. A quote should include the work to be done, time-frame for completion and cost.

Make sure to check how long the roofer has been in business. Give preference to roofing contractors with many years of experience. Also, roofers should be properly insured. Always ask for proof of insurance to be sure you are protected from any damage to your home.

Roofing repairs can be expensive and a new roof is a major investment. You should hire the roofer who has the best combination of experience and price and with whom you feel most comfortable.

What you need to know abour roof contractors!

Here are some reasons why other roof contractors may offer lower prices - don't be fooled and regret it later. Blues Brothers is dedicated to customer satisfaction and quality workmanship. We also offer financing and 6 month plus 12 month same as cash


1.NO ROOFING LICENSE- If the contractor does not have a certified Florida roofing license they probably don’t know what they are doing or they may be using another Florida contractor’s license. To prevent this problem, make sure the contract matches the name of the contractor

2.NO LIABILITY INSURANCE- When the contractor has no insurance the property is in danger to any construction that goes on; and property insurance does not cover the damages. To prevent this problem, ask for a copy of their insurance accord sheet with property owners information on the certificate

3.NO WORKMAN’S COMPENSATION INSURANCE- Workman’s Comp is extremely expensive and it’s mandatory in Florida but some contractor’s still cheat the system. To prevent this problem, ask for a copy of their insurance with property information on the certificate

4.ILLEGAL WORKERS- Of course people who are illegal are going to work for cheaper but the risk is too dangerous. To prevent this problem, get a copy of the work comp accord sheet. The workman’s comp company should do a check on each employee to verify if they are legal

5.USING SUB-CONTRACTORS- In some cases the owner may pay twice for the work being done if the contractor did not pay their sub-contractor. To prevent this problem, after the work is completed make sure the invoice says paid in full also including all subcontractors

6.NO PERMIT - It is more inexpensive to work without paying for a permit and it alleviates having to meet and wait on inspections. To prevent this problem, make sure there is a permit posted before work is started

7.USING OUT OF TOWN CONTRACTORS- South Florida is the toughest building code in the United States and any contractor that is not accustomed to the codes here will not install the roof properly which will cause problems with the building department. To prevent this problem, verify their local references

8.USING BELOW AVERAGE MATERIALS- There are many different ways of installing a roof and the contractor will offer lower grade materials to save money sometimes. To prevent this problem, ask each contractor what kind of materials they will be applying and make sure it is on the contract.

9.UNSKILLED ROOFERS- If re-roofing there are a number of mistakes that inexperienced laborers will often make that can be visually noticeable….
◦First, wavy lines; this is caused by not setting the correct lines for installation of the roof.
◦Second, the color of cement doesn’t match the tile color; which is from not using the identical mixture of cement and oxide.
◦Third, sloppy cement around the ridge caps; it takes a skilled roofer to make the cement look even and smooth.
◦Fourth, tar stains on roof; this is caused from walking on the new roof with tar on the bottom of their shoes
◦To prevent these problems, look at some pictures or go to prior job sites to validate the work the contractor has done
