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 you'll find the typical price range to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Camarillo. We also compare prices for common roofing materials.
Installing a new roof is a large home improvement project that can cost an amount in the tens of thousands range. It's essential 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 on a daily basis, it plays a vital protective role for your home. Keep watch 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 popular residential roofing material, generally last around 20–25 years before needing replacement. Have your roof evaluated if it’s approaching or past this lifespan to determine if it needs to be replaced.
Leaks are a definite sign that your roof needs repair. Stains on insulation, ceilings, or walls, or in your attic often mean that water is getting through worn or damaged shingles. Even minor leaks should be taken care of promptly, as they can result in mold and more damage over time.
If you can see the 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 tears in the shingle surface or missing granules. Storms that bring strong winds can cause surface damage over time. To maintain your roof, replace any shingles that are no longer securely attached or have open gaps.
Roof flashing seals off vents, chimneys, valleys, and other areas that pass through the roof. If the metal flashing is damaged, coming loose, or deteriorated, it can leak. Have any issues with roof flashing fixed right away.
If you notice your roofline sagging or sloping unevenly, it could be a sign of a problem with the structure that requires further inspection by a roofer. A sagging roof deck will worsen over time if not properly supported or replaced.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Camarillo will depend on things like your budget and how frequently you want to do maintenance.
Metal costs more but lasts longer, while asphalt will be cheaper up front but won't last as long. In Camarillo, 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 Camarillo'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 must have an active license in order to work on roofing projects valued over $500, and in most cases must be bonded.
Roof replacement generally takes around one to five days. This timeline can be affected by factors like the weather in Camarillo, the size of your roof, and how easy your roof is to access. .
The best time of year to have your roof replaced is fall or spring. In the summer, Camarillo's hot temperatures can impede progress.
Spray foam insulation in one of the best types of insulation for your roof. It's longer lasting than other kinds and also seals any cracks in your roof. The disadvantage is that it costs more than other types of insulation.
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 replacement or repair costs covered if the damage was caused by a covered weather event such as a severe storm. You should contact your home insurance company to learn whether either of these situations apply to you.
