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 you need to tackle a project as big as roof replacement. Below, we outline the average price range for replacing a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Inglewood. We also highlight price differences between popular roof materials.
A new roof installation is a major home renovation that can run tens of thousands of dollars. It's crucial to research and find a top-rated, trusted roofing company for the job. Here are some important considerations for selecting a roofer.
Though most homeowners don't think about their roof every single day, a roof plays a vital role in keeping a home safe and secure. Watch for these signs that your roof might need professional attention.
Your roof's age and material are both important. The most popular residential roofing material is asphalt shingles, which generally last around 20–25 years before requiring replacement. Schedule an inspection if your roof is reaching this age to determine if it needs to be replaced.
One of the clearest signs of a roof issue is leaking. Stains on walls, ceilings, and insulation — or in your attic — usually indicate that water is seeping through worn or damaged shingles. Don't ignore small leaks, because even these can encourage mold growth and roof deterioration.
Seeing roof deck boards or sheathing under your shingles indicates that those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal. This means the shingles likely need replacement. Shingles need to lie flat to stop water from entering your home.
Examine your shingles closely from a safe ladder or while on the ground. Look for shingles that show cracks or no longer have their protective granule layer. Storms can cause exterior damage over time. To keep your roof in good shape, replace any missing shingles, or ones that have gaping holes.
Roof flashing makes a watertight seal around vents, chimneys, valleys, 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 you notice your roofline displaying signs of sagging or uneven slopes, it could indicate a problem with the structure that requires further inspection by a roofer. A sagging roof deck will worsen over time if not reinforced or replaced.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Inglewood 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 won't last as long. Metal, clay, and treated wood tend to be the best options if your part of Inglewood is at higher risk of wildfire damage. In Inglewood, 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 Inglewood'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 above $500, and in most cases must be bonded.
Roof replacement generally takes around one to five days. This timeline may be affected by factors like the weather in Inglewood, 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, Inglewood's hot temperatures can impede progress.
Roof cleaning should be undertaken about once a year. You may need to clean your roof more frequently if there's a buildup of moss, mildew, mold, or leaves.
How soiled your roof is, in addition to what it's made of, will determine how your contractor cleans it. Power washing can be used on some roofs, but it isn't recommended for materials like asphalt tiles. "Soft washing" uses tools like brooms and brushes, plus chemicals like bleach and detergent.
