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 planning is important when tackling a project as big as replacing your roof. Below, we outline the average price range for replacing a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Clarksville. We also highlight price differences between common roof materials.
A new roof installation is a large home renovation that can run over twenty thousand dollars total. It's crucial to research and find a top-rated, trusted roofing company for the job. Here are the top things to evaluate when hiring a roofer.
Though it likely doesn't cross homeowners' minds daily, your roof plays a key role in protecting your home. Watch for these common signs that your roof may be in need of professional inspection and repair.
Your roof's age and material are key factors. The most common residential roofing material is asphalt shingles, which typically last around 20–25 years before needing to be replaced. Have your roof evaluated if it’s approaching this age to determine if it needs to be replaced.
Leaks are a common sign of roof issues. Water leaking through worn or damage shingles often leads to water stains on walls, ceilings, and insulation, or in your attic. Don't dismiss even small leaks, as leaks of any size can cause mold and other issues.
If you can see your roof decking or sheathing material underneath your shingles, it means those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal and need to be replaced. Shingles should lie flat to prevent water from leaking into your home.
Examine your roof shingles from the ground or a safe ladder. Look for cracking or missing granules. Storms that bring strong winds can cause surface damage over time. To keep your roof in good shape, replace any shingles that are missing or have open gaps.
Roof flashing provides a watertight seal around chimneys, valleys, vents, and other areas where water can penetrate your roof. Peeling, cracked, or deteriorated flashing can allow leaks. We recommend promptly resolving any problems with the roof flashing that come up.
An uneven roofline may be a sign of a structural issue that requires professional attention. Without taking steps to fix or replace it, a sagging roof will continue deteriorating.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Clarksville will depend on things like your budget and how frequently you're willing to do maintenance.
Metal is more expensive but is more durable, while asphalt will be cheaper up front but won't last as long. In Clarksville, winters can be cold. This can make a wood roof, with its superior insulation, a better choice for you.
The Arkansas Contractors Licensing Board manages licensing throughout the state. As of January 1, 2022, any roofing contractor who works on residential projects must be registered with the Residential Committee. You can verify a contractor's license through the board's website.
The best time of year to have your roof replaced is fall or spring. In the summer, Clarksville's hot temperatures can impede progress.
Your roof can 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. Some materials (like metal) are more energy-efficient than others.
The best color for your roof depends on several factors like the style and color of your house and the local climate. For instance, if you have a Spanish style home, then you'll probably want a terracotta roof to match the style. Also, if you live in a hot climate, you (like Clarksville) may want to avoid darker colors because they absorb heat, which makes your energy bills higher in the summer.
Depending on which contractor you use, your home insurance may cover some roof replacement costs. Some insurance companies have preferred contractors. It might also be easier to have costs covered if the damage was due to a covered weather event, such as an ice storm. You can talk to your home insurance company to learn whether they have any preferred contractors, and what costs may be covered.
