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:
Budget is a major 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 Atascadero, as well as price differences between various popular roofing materials.
Installing a new roof is a major home improvement project that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. It’s crucial to do your research and find the most qualified 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 plays a vital protective role for your home. Be attentive for these common signs that your roof may need inspection and repairs from a professional roofer.
Your roof's age and material are key factors. Asphalt shingles, the most common residential roofing material, generally last 20–25 years before needing replacement. Have your roof evaluated if it’s nearing or past this lifespan to determine if it needs to be replaced.
Leaks are a common sign of roof issues. Water leaking through damaged or worn shingles often leads to water stains on walls, ceilings, and insulation, or in your attic. Don't neglect even small leaks, as leaks of any size can lead to mold and other issues.
If you can see roof sheathing or decking under shingles, it shows that those shingles are considerably curling or losing their seal. This means the shingles likely need replacement. Shingles need to lie flat to stop water from leaking into your home.
Inspect your shingles thoroughly from ground level or a steady ladder. Look for ones that have cracks or that are missing granules. Over time, storms can cause surface damage. To keep your roof in good shape, replace any missing shingles or ones that are openly gaping.
Roof flashing makes a watertight seal around vents, valleys, chimneys, and other areas where water can penetrate your roof. Deteriorated, cracked, or peeling flashing can allow leaks. We recommend quickly addressing any problems with the roof flashing that come up.
If your roof sags or is uneven, it's time to call a professional roofer. These issues could signal a structural problem. A sagging roof that's not properly supported or fixed will continue worsening over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Atascadero will depend on things like your budget and how frequently you're willing to do maintenance.
Metal costs more but is more durable, while asphalt will be cheaper up front but will require more maintenance. In Atascadero, winters can be cold. This can make a wood roof, with its superior insulation, a better choice for you. On the other hand, clay roofs can be beneficial during the summer, as they reflect Atascadero's bright sunlight and save you money on cooling costs.
In California, licensing is handled by the Department of Consumer Affairs Contractors State License Board. Contractors are required to have a valid license in order to work on roofing projects valued over $500, and in most cases must be bonded.
You can expect to pay about $447 for roof cleaning in Atascadero. Factors like how many stories your house has, the extent of the issue, the size of your roof, and the material of your roof will all influence the final price.
The best time of year to have your roof replaced is spring or fall. In the summer, Atascadero's hot temperatures can impede progress.
Your home insurance may cover some roof replacement costs if you use one of your insurance company's preferred contractors (if it has any). It may be easier to get some costs covered if the damage is due to a covered weather event like a severe storm. You should reach out to your home insurance company to learn whether either of these situations apply to you.
A professional will either pressure wash or "soft wash" your roof, depending on the roofing material and how much cleaning is needed. Power washing is not recommended for certain roof types, such as asphalt shingles. To soft wash your roof, your contractor may use chemicals like bleach and detergent, and tools such as brushes and brooms.
