  At CTBA, we want to be the contractor you call when you have questions on a home repair.  We know and understand the components of a roof and we want you to be as comfortable with the work we are performing as we are about how great your home will look upon completion.

The roof of your home is one of the most important parts of the structure when it comes to appearance and energy efficiency.  Many of our customers phone us when they have shingles appearing to be curling, some customers call with concerns that moss has taken residence on the roof, and others have leaking concerns.  No roof ages the same, yet when the roof needs repaired or replaced, we are there for you.  We won't push products or repairs you don't need and when the roof needs replaced, we will give you the best value and the best quality roof!

Below you can read about the components of a roof and what each component provides.  Remember, if you have questions, call us, we'll be glad to give you guidance on this important investment in your home.
