The type of roofing material that's best in Elk Grove will depend on things like your budget and how often you want to do maintenance.
Slate is more expensive but is more durable, while asphalt will be cheaper up front but won't last as long. In Elk Grove, 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 Elk Grove'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.
Fifteen to 30 years is the average lifespan of a roof. If yours falls somewhere in this range (particularly on the higher end), you should think about having it inspected. Your roof might also need replacing if it suffers frequent or significant damage, for example from downed trees or severe weather. In Elk Grove, your roof is less likely to be damaged by a weather event, and might need to be replaced less often.
Roof repairs, on average, cost around $1,252 in Elk Grove. The final price of repairs will vary depending on the nature of the job. Prices can range from $100 up into the thousands of dollars.
Signs that you need to replace your roof include the following:
Depending on which contractor you use, your home insurance may cover some roof replacement costs. Some insurance companies may have preferred contractors. It may also be easier to get assistance for roof work if the damage was caused by a covered weather event, such as a severe storm. Reach out to your home insurance company to learn whether they have any preferred contractors, and what costs may be covered.
