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:
For a project as involved as roof replacement, price is important. Below is the usual price range to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Lowell. We also compare costs for popular roofing materials.
Roof installation is a large home improvement project that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. It's crucial to research and find a top quality and trusted local roofing contractor for the job. Here are some important factors to consider when choosing a roofing contractor.
Though most homeowners don't think about their roof every single day, a roof plays an important role in keeping a home safe and secure. Watch for these signs that your roof might need professional attention.
Your roof's age and material are key factors. Asphalt shingles, the most popular residential roofing material, normally last around 20–25 years before needing to be replaced. Schedule a professional inspection if your roof is approaching or past this lifespan to determine if it needs to be replaced.
One of the most obvious signs of a roof problem is leaking. Stains on insulation, ceilings, and walls — or in your attic — usually indicate that water is seeping through deteriorating shingles. Don't ignore small leaks, because even these can lead to mold growth and roof deterioration.
If you can see roof decking or sheathing visible under your shingles, it means those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal and need to be replaced. Shingles should lie flat to keep water from getting into your home.
Inspect your roof shingles from the ground or a safe ladder. Look for tears in the shingle surface or loss of protective granule coating. Storms that bring strong winds can cause surface damage over time. To keep your roof in good shape, replace any shingles that are no longer securely attached or have open gaps.
Roof flashing seals off vents, valleys, chimneys, and other areas that penetrate your roofing system. If the metal flashing is damaged, coming loose, or deteriorated, it can leak. Have any flashing problems fixed right away.
An uneven roofline may indicate 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 Lowell will depend on things like your budget and how often you want to do maintenance.
Metal is more expensive but lasts longer, while asphalt will be cheaper up front but will require more maintenance. Wood roofs have better insulation than many other materials, which can be very beneficial in the winter.
The Arkansas Contractors Licensing Board manages licensing throughout the state. As of January 1, 2022, roofing contractors who work on residential projects must be registered with the Residential Committee. You can verify a contractor's license through the board's website.
Roof replacement normally takes between one and five days. This timeline might be affected by factors like the weather in Lowell, the accessibility of your roof, and its size. Be prepared for Lowell's rainy weather to impede progress.
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.
Depending on which contractor you use, your home insurance may cover some roof replacement costs. Some insurance companies may have preferred contractors. It might also be easier to have costs covered if the damage was caused by a covered weather event, such as an ice storm. You can talk to your home insurance company to find out if they have preferred contractors, and what costs are covered.
You'll know your roofer did a good job if the roof has a uniform appearance, the roofline is not sagging, and the underlayment and flashing were properly installed.
