Review content:
First, let me say that their customer service and speed of re-roofing our house was very good, if not excellent. We had two layers of composition shingles to remove, and they did the entire job (also replacing 4 sheets of plywood) in less than 2 days. We also found a piece of vinyl siding on our house that had been damaged by them, and they happily replaced it a week later. Dealing with Tresa is wonderful.
Second, here's the caveat with a warning to others who would like to use Interstate. We were very disappointed in the fact that they didn't WARN us about something that would happen with the roofing job. We've lived in this house for 30 years, and it's had two layers of roofing (i.e., 2 roofing jobs) done. After Interstate did the roofing job, all our eves/overhangs had nails shot through them and were now showing, which not only is an eye sore, but plywood was split open on virtually every nail. Those nails will eventually rust and stain the wood, and all the plywood on the eves/overhangs must be re-painted.
To fix the problem, my wife and I spent about 100 person hours doing the following: (1) grinding all the nails down to the wood (us doing so was approved by Tresa for warranty purposes), (2) filling in many split nail holes with wood filler, (3) painting every nail tip with a shellac and alcohol-based primer to inhibit any future rust stains, and finally (4) repainting all the eves/overhangs/soffits on the entire house. This was not something we expected. Us being between 58 – 60 yrs old and getting on an extension ladder to get 15 feet high was not easy, and at times, quite a challenge.
We have a friend who owns a large roofing company outside the PDX-metro area, and he said that they use 3/4" nails (instead of 1½”) over the eves/soffits/overhangs to avoid that problem. He said the fine print in the roofing manufacturer’s warranty says that as long as you DOUBLE the number of shorter nails used on those eve/overhang/soffit sections, the roofer can use shorter nails.
In the future, we ask that before Interstate Roofing contracts a job, it is their obligation to inform all homeowners that this will happen to their nice-looking eves/overhangs/soffits.
