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 average price range to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Kingsburg. We also highlight prices for common roofing materials.
Installing a new roof is a major home renovation that might cost tens of thousands of dollars when finished. It's essential to research thoroughly to find a highly skilled and reputable roofing company for the job. Here are some important considerations when hiring a roofer.
Though most homeowners don't think about their roof every day, it provides critical protections for your home. Be attentive for these common signs that your roof may need professional inspection and repair.
Your roof's age and material are key factors. The most common residential roofing material is asphalt shingles, which normally last about 20 to 25 years before requiring replacement. Schedule an inspection if your roof is approaching this age to determine if a full replacement is needed.
Leaks are a definite sign that your roof needs repair. Stains on ceilings, walls, or insulation, or in your attic often mean that water is getting through deteriorating shingles. Even minor leaks should be taken care of right away, as they can cause mold and more damage over time.
If you can see roof decking or sheathing beneath your shingles, it means those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal, and replacement is required. Shingles should lie flat to prevent water from leaking into your house.
Examine your roof shingles from the ground or a steady ladder. Look for signs of damage or missing granules. Storms that bring strong winds can cause surface damage over time. To maintain your roof, replace any shingles that have come loose or are openly gaping.
Roof flashing creates a watertight seal around vents, chimneys, valleys, and other areas where water can leak into your home. Cracked, peeling or deteriorated flashing can allow leaks. We recommend quickly addressing any flashing issues that come up.
An uneven roofline may indicate a structural issue that requires professional evaluation. Without fixing or replacing it, a sagging roof will worsen over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Kingsburg will depend on factors such as 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 will require more maintenance. Wood roofs have better insulation than many other materials, which can be very beneficial in the winter. On the other hand, clay roofs can be beneficial during the summer, as they reflect Kingsburg'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 must have a valid license to work on roofing projects valued above $500, and in most cases must be bonded.
Generally, it takes about one to five days to replace a roof. Factors that could influence the timeline include the accessibility of your roof, its size, and what the weather is like in Kingsburg during the process. .
Generally, the fall or the spring is the best time of year to have your roof replaced. In the summer, Kingsburg's hot temperatures can slow down the project.
Generally, you need to clean your roof about once a year. Your roof may need an extra cleaning if you notice buildup of leaves, moss, mildew, or mold.
Depending on which contractor you use, some roof replacement costs may be covered by your home insurance. Some insurance companies might have preferred contractors. It might also be easier to have costs covered if the damage was due to 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 might be covered.
