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 provide the average price range for replacing a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Calimesa. We also highlight price differences between common roof materials.
Installing a new roof is a major home improvement project that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. It’s essential to do your research and find the most qualified company for the job. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a roofer.
While most homeowners don't think about their roof every day, it plays a key role in protecting your home. Watch for these common signs that your roof may need an inspection and repairs from a professional roofer.
Your roof's age and material are key factors. Asphalt shingles, the most popular residential roofing material, typically last around 20–25 years before needing replacement. Schedule a professional inspection if your roof is nearing or past this lifespan to determine if full replacement is needed.
One of the most obvious signs of roof trouble is water leaks. Stains on your ceilings, walls, or insulation, or in your attic likely indicate water seeping through damaged or worn shingles. Even small leaks can be an issue, as they can facilitate mold growth and further damage to your roof.
If you can see roof deck boards or sheathing under shingles, it means that those shingles are considerably curling or losing their seal. This means it's time for replacement. Shingles should lie flat to stop water from getting into your home.
Inspect your shingles thoroughly from ground level or a steady ladder. Look for ones that are damaged or that no longer have their protective coating. Over time, storms can cause surface damage. To keep your roof in repair, replace any missing shingles or ones that have gaping holes.
Roof flashing provides a watertight seal around valleys, vents, chimneys, and other areas where water can penetrate your roof. Cracked, peeling or deteriorated flashing can allow leaks. We recommend quickly addressing any flashing issues that come up.
A structural problem can cause your roof to display sagging or uneven slopes. If you notice unevenness, get a roofing company to inspect it. An unsupported roof deck will get worse over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Calimesa will depend on factors such as 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 won't last as long. Metal, clay, and treated wood tend to be the best options if your part of Calimesa is at higher risk of wildfire damage. In Calimesa, 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 Calimesa's bright sunlight and save you money on cooling costs.
Licensing in California 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.
It generally takes around one to five days to replace a roof. Variables that could influence the timeline include the size of your roof, how easily accessible it is, and what the weather is like in Calimesa during the timeframe. .
The best time of year for a roof replacement is fall or spring. In the summer, Calimesa's hot temperatures can impede progress.
Roofs should normally be cleaned about once a year. You might need to clean your roof more frequently if there's a buildup of moss, mildew, mold, or leaves.
Some roof replacement costs may be covered by your home insurance if you use one of your insurance company's preferred contractors (if it has any). It might be easier to get some costs covered if the damage was caused by a covered weather event such as a tornado. You should reach out to your home insurance company to find out if either of these situations apply to you.
