Jim Lame established Above and Beyond Contracting, a roofing and siding company, in 1992. During his 30 years as a professional roofer, Jim learned that one of the most common causes of leaky roofs is a deteriorated pipe flange. Roofs have one to four vent pipes usually located above homes kitchens and bathrooms.
Most roofers charge $300 to replace one pipe flange and $750 to replace all four. In addition, roofers have to remove the shingles surrounding the flange to replace it. If the shingles are undamaged, roofers can reinstall them. If the shingles are damaged, roofers must buy a new bundle of shingles.
This can cost the homeowner anywhere from $375 to $625 and result in an unsightly mismatch of different colored shingles. Jim knew there had to be a long lasting, inexpensive solution to this program. So, he established Sterling Hill Innovations in 2011 and invented the Pipe Vent Shield. Made from 70 to 90 Durometer EPDM Rubber, the Shield costs a mere $24.95 and takes only minutes to install.

Jim was easy to work with, answered all my questions quickly and with patience and completed our roof even more quickly than we had originally planned. They did a great job. Our roof looks beautiful, the guys did an amazingly thorough job of cleaning up and were very respectful of our property. I highly recommend them!

Jim was wonderful to work with! Our initial roofing quote included all new wood and to our surprise, Jim found that only a few boards would need to be replaced. He is professional, knowledgeable, and, most importantly, honest. His crew completed our roof quickly, thoroughly cleaned our yard, and were a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be using Above & Beyond to replace our siding in a few years!

I called Above and Beyond contracting because I had a hole in my roof that needed immediate repair. They came out quickly and fixed the hole. They sent pictured to my phone documenting the repair. They did a great job and were very professional and prompt. As well as great service and response, the price was more than fair. Thank you so much! I recommend Above and Beyond whole heartedly.

Had some damage after a recent storm came through, causing a leak in our bathroom. Jim came out immediately and was able to assess and fix the issue within the same day. Would highly recommend Jim to anyone looking for a reliable and honest company to handle their roofing needs.

After getting the run-around by another roofer, I reached out to Jim at Above and Beyond. Wow, what a difference from the first contractor! From start to finish the experience was nothing but pleasurable. Jim came by checked out my roof and had an estimate for me within a few hours later. After giving him the green light for the job, he came by a day later with samples, and talked me through the product that his crew would be installing. We set up a time window that he and his crew would come out a few weeks later, and they showed up as planned. Old roof was removed, and new roof was installed

Contacted Above and Beyond Contracting after hearing thru friends about the awesome job this company does. Spoke with Jim the owner who I know and he was at my house promptly to provide me with an estimate. I was fully satisfied with his estimate and the services he could provide so we completed a contract with him immediately! His company did a complete tear off and install of both roofing and siding. What a phenomenal job they did and their professionalisim was second to none. Thank you Jim and Above and Beyond Contracting for your expertise and attention to detail on the work you performed at
