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 is an important consideration when replacing your roof. Below is the typical price range to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Citrus Heights. We also compare prices for popular roofing materials.
Roof installation is a big home improvement project that can cost an amount in the tens of thousands range when all is said and done. It's essential to research and find the most skilled and reliable roofing professional for the job. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a roofing contractor.
Though it likely doesn't cross homeowners' minds daily, your roof plays a key role in protecting your home. Look out 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 common residential roofing material, typically last 20–25 years before needing to be replaced. Have your roof evaluated if it’s approaching or past this lifespan to determine if full replacement is needed.
Leaks are a definite sign that your roof requires repairs. Stains on ceilings, walls, or insulation, or in your attic often mean that water is getting through worn or damaged shingles. Even minor leaks need to be taken care of right away, as they can cause mold and more harm over time.
If you can see the roof deck boards 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.
Inspect your shingles thoroughly from ground level or a steady ladder. Look for ones that are cracked or that are missing granules. Over time, storms can cause surface damage. To keep your roof in good shape, replace any shingles that are no longer attached properly or are openly gaping.
Roof flashing creates a watertight seal around chimneys, valleys, vents, and other areas where water can leak into your home. Deteriorated, cracked, or peeling flashing can allow leaks. We recommend promptly resolving any flashing issues 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 deteriorate more over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Citrus Heights will depend on things like your budget and how often you want to do maintenance.
Metal is more expensive but is more durable, while asphalt will be cheaper up front but won't last as long. In Citrus Heights, 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 Citrus Heights' 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 a valid license to work on roofing projects valued over $500, and in most cases must be bonded.
Roof cleaning costs about $435 in Citrus Heights. The exact price will depend on the square footage of your roof, how many levels it has, its material, and how severe the problem is.
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. Some materials (like metal) are more energy-efficient than others. In Citrus Heights, you can reduce your carbon footprint even more by installing solar panels on your roof.
You'll know your roofer did a good job if the roof has a uniform appearance, the roof is not sagging, and the underlayment and flashing were properly installed.
