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:
For a project as substantial as roof replacement, cost is important. Below is the typical price range to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Loma Linda. We also compare costs for common roofing materials.
Roof installation is a large home improvement project that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. It’s essential to do your research and find the top-rated company for the job. Here are some important considerations for choosing a roofer.
Though most homeowners don't think about their roof on a daily basis, it provides critical protections for your home. Remain alert for these common signs that your roof may need professional inspection and repair.
Your roof's age and material are both important. The most popular residential roofing material is asphalt shingles, which normally last around 20–25 years before requiring replacement. Have your roof evaluated if it’s reaching this age to determine if a full replacement is needed.
One of the clearest signs of a roof problem is leaking. Stains on ceilings, insulation, and walls — 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 damage.
If you can see roof sheathing or decking under shingles, it means that those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal. This means the shingles likely need replacement. Shingles should lie flat to prevent water from entering your home.
Inspect your roof shingles from the ground or a steady 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 missing or are openly gaping.
Roof flashing creates a barrier against the elements around chimneys, valleys, vents, and other areas that penetrate the roof. If this metal flashing is coming loose, cracked open, or worn down, it can allow leaks. Any issues with flashing should be addressed promptly.
A structural problem can lead to roof sagging or uneven slopes. If you notice unevenness, get a roofing company to inspect it. An improperly supported roof deck will get worse over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Loma Linda will depend on things like your budget and how often you want to do maintenance.
Metal costs more but lasts longer, 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 Loma Linda is at higher risk of wildfire damage. In Loma Linda, 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 Loma Linda'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 need a valid license to work on roofing projects valued over $500, and in most cases must be bonded.
It generally takes around one to five days to replace a roof. Things that could influence this timeline include the accessibility of your roof, its size, and the weather in Loma Linda during the timeframe. .
Generally, the fall or the spring is the best time of year to have your roof replaced. In the summer, Loma Linda's hot temperatures can slow down the project.
Depending on which contractor you use, your home insurance may cover some roof replacement costs. Some insurance companies might have preferred contractors. It may also be easier to have costs covered if the damage was due to a covered weather event, such as a severe storm. Speak with your home insurance company to learn whether they have any preferred contractors, and what costs may be covered.
A professional might either pressure wash or "soft wash" your roof, depending on the roofing material and the extent of the cleaning needed. Power washing is not recommended for certain roof types, such as asphalt shingles. When soft washing your roof, your contractor might use tools such as brooms and brushes, and chemicals such as bleach and detergent.
