The work
A roof is a stack of small overlapping pieces, and every one of them has to be right for the whole thing to shed water year after year.
The old roof comes off, the deck gets looked at while it is bare, and the new one goes on course by course from the eave up. It is the kind of job where the parts that decide how long it lasts are covered up by the end of the day.
Shingles are still the roof most houses around here want: they suit the pitches, they take a repair without a fuss, and a good one is quiet for a very long time.
A shingle in the yard after a storm usually means the ones around it moved too. Getting a ladder on the house and looking is how you find out whether it is three tabs or a slope, before the next rain answers the question for you.

These two are what your Google reviews describe. Anything else the crew does, roofs or otherwise, gets a card of its own right here.

The roof
Every asphalt roof is the same handful of details done well or done fast. Here is what they are, so the next quote you read makes sense.
Shingles are only as good as what they are nailed to. Soft plywood and rotted boards show themselves the day the old roof comes off, which is the only day they are cheap to deal with.
Water leaves a roof at the eaves and runs down the rakes. Drip edge and a water barrier along the bottom courses are what send it into the gutter instead of back up under the shingles when the wind is behind it.
Leaks are rarely a hole in the open field of a roof. They are where two slopes meet, or where a chimney, a vent or a wall interrupts the run and something has to be woven in around it.
A roof with nowhere for the heat to go cooks itself from the inside. Intake low, exhaust at the ridge, and the shingles spend their years weathering instead of curling.
In a customer’s words
Blake Roofing put a roof on my home in July of 2004.

If you need a roof, this is your contractor! We had absolutely no complaints at all. The roof looks fantastic! They where very considerate of my family as they worked and cleaned up so well that you couldn't even tell they had been here! All of that for a great price too!

None of them needs a ladder, and rough answers are fine for all four.
The town or the neighborhood, and whether a truck and a ladder can get around to the back of it.
If you know when it went on, say so. If it came with the house and nobody ever told you, that is an answer too.
A stain on a ceiling, a shingle in the yard, grit collecting in the gutter, or nothing at all except the years.
One story or two, how steep it looks from the driveway, and whether there are trees over it.
