Today's Homeowner looks at dozens of datapoints on roofers to come up with our data-driven rankings. It's not possible for a company to pay for preferential treatment in our rankings. We look at the following key factors in determining who should top our list:
Cost is an important consideration when replacing something as big as your roof. Below, see the average price range for roof replacement on a 1,500 square foot home in Prescott Valley, as well as comparisons between different popular roofing materials.
Roof installation is a large home improvement project that can cost an amount in the tens of thousands range when all is said and done. It's essential to research and find the most qualified and reputable residential roofing company for the job. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a roofing contractor.
Though it likely doesn't cross homeowners' minds daily, your roof plays a key role in protecting your home. Be attentive to these common signs that your roof may need an inspection and repairs from a professional roofer.
Your roof's age and material are both important. The most popular residential roofing material is asphalt shingles, which normally last about 20 to 25 years before needing to be replaced. Schedule an inspection if your roof is approaching this age to determine if a full replacement is needed.
Leaks are a definite sign that your roof needs repair. Stains on ceilings, insulation, or walls, or in your attic often mean that water is getting through worn or damaged shingles. Even minor leaks should be taken care of right away, as they can result in mold and more deterioration over time.
Seeing roof deck boards or sheathing under your shingles is a sign that those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal. This means the shingles likely need replacement. Shingles need to lie flat to stop water from entering your home.
Check your roof shingles from the ground or a safe ladder. Look for cracking or loss of protective granule coating. Storms that bring strong winds can cause surface damage over time. To maintain your roof, replace any shingles that have come loose or are openly gaping.
Roof flashing creates a watertight seal around valleys, chimneys, vents, and other areas where water can leak into your home. Peeling, cracked, or deteriorated flashing can allow leaks. We recommend promptly resolving any problems with the roof flashing that come up.
A structural problem can lead to noticeable roof sagging or unevenness. If you notice unevenness, schedule a professional inspection. An improperly supported roof deck will continue to deteriorate over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Prescott Valley will be decided by several factors, including your budget and how often you want to do maintenance.
Asphalt is less costly, while options like metal cost more but last longer. Clay roofing may be beneficial around Prescott Valley due to its high solar reflectivity. Roofs of this type can help you save on cooling costs during the sunny summer months. You might be swayed by how environmentally friendly a material is, and opt for something like wood. If you live in a part of Prescott Valley where the risk of wildfire damage is higher, choices like clay, metal, or treated wood might appeal to you.
In Arizona, licensing is handled by the Registrar of Contractors. You can verify the license of a company or an individual on their website.
Generally, it takes about one to five days to replace a roof. Factors that could influence this timeline include the accessibility of your roof, its size, and what the weather is like in Prescott Valley during the process. .
Your roof can absolutely impact the energy efficiency of your home. For example, a good roof allows you to use less energy to cool your home during the summer. Certain materials (such as metal) are more energy-efficient than others. In Prescott Valley, you can reduce your carbon footprint even more by installing solar panels on your roof.
Roof cleaning should be undertaken about once a year. You may want to clean your roof more often if there's a buildup of moss, mold, mildew, or leaves.
A professional might either pressure wash or "soft wash" your roof, depending on the roofing material and the extent of the cleaning needed. Power washing is not recommended for certain roof types, such as asphalt shingles. When soft washing your roof, your contractor might use chemicals like detergent and bleach, and tools such as brushes and brooms.
