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:
Price is a major consideration when replacing your roof. Below is the typical price range to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Marion. We also compare prices for common roofing materials.
Roof installation is a large home improvement project that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. It’s essential to do your research and find the best company for the job. Here are some important considerations for choosing a roofer.
Though most homeowners don't think about their roof every day, it provides critical protections for your home. Remain alert for these common signs that your roof may need professional inspection and repair.
Your roof's age and material are key factors. 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 it needs to be replaced.
One of the most obvious signs of roof trouble is water leaks. Stains on your ceilings, insulation, or walls, or in your attic likely indicate water seeping through worn or damaged shingles. Even small leaks should be fixed promptly, as they can cause mold growth and further damage to your roof.
Visible roof decking or sheathing under your shingles indicates that those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal. This means the shingles likely need replacement. Shingles should lie flat to stop water from entering your home.
Carefully examine your shingles from the ground or a safe ladder. Look for any shingles that have cracks or have lost their protective granule coating. Over time, environmental factors like storms can cause surface damage. To keep your roof in good shape, we recommend replacing any missing shingles or ones with gaps.
Roof flashing creates a watertight seal around vents, chimneys, valleys, and other areas where water can leak into your home. Deteriorated, cracked, or peeling flashing can allow leaks. We recommend quickly addressing any flashing issues that come up.
An uneven roofline may be a sign of a structural issue that requires professional evaluation. Without taking steps to fix or replace it, a sagging roof will continue deteriorating.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Marion will depend on a number of factors, including your budget and how often you're willing to do maintenance.
Asphalt is less costly, while options like metal cost more but last longer. You might be swayed by how environmentally friendly a material is, and opt for something like wood.
The Arkansas Contractors Licensing Board manages licensing throughout the state. As of January 1, 2022, roofing contractors who plan to work on residential projects must be registered with the Residential Committee. You can verify a contractor's license through the board's website.
Generally, spring or fall is the best time of year to have your roof replaced. In the summer, Marion's hot temperatures can slow down the project.
Your roof does impact the energy efficiency of your home. For example, in the summer a good roof helps you cool your home more efficiently. Some materials, such as metal, provide superior insulation compared to other types.
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. To soft wash your roof, your contractor might use chemicals like detergent and bleach, and tools such as brushes and brooms.
The signs that a roofer did a good job are: the roof is uniform in appearance, the roof is not sagging, and the underlayment and flashing were properly installed.
