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 a major consideration when replacing a major piece of your home like your roof. Below, see the average price range for roof replacement on a 1,500 square foot home in Orosi, as well as price differences between various popular roofing materials.
Installing a new roof is a big home renovation that can cost tens of thousands of dollars when finished. It's essential to research in depth to find a highly skilled and reputable roofing company for the job. Here are some important considerations when choosing a roofer.
Though most homeowners don't think about their roof every single day, a roof plays an important role in keeping a home safe and secure. Keep alert for these signs that your roof might need professional attention.
Your roof's age and material are key factors. Asphalt shingles, the most popular residential roofing material, normally last around 20–25 years before needing to be replaced. Have your roof evaluated if it’s nearing or past this lifespan to determine if full replacement is needed.
One of the clearest signs of roof trouble is water leaks. Stains on your ceilings, insulation, or walls, or in your attic are often a sign of water seeping through damaged or worn shingles. Even small leaks can be an issue, as they can lead to mold growth and further damage to your roof.
If you can see the roof decking or sheathing material 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.
Examine your roof shingles from the ground or a steady ladder. Look for cracking or loss of protective granule coating. Storms that bring strong winds can cause surface damage over time. To keep your roof in good shape, replace any shingles that are no longer securely attached or have open gaps.
Roof flashing makes a watertight seal around vents, chimneys, valleys, and other areas where water can leak into your home. Deteriorated, cracked, or peeling flashing can allow leaks. We recommend quickly addressing any problems with the roof flashing that come up.
If your roof shows signs of sagging or unevenness, get a roofer to evaluate it. These issues could indicate a structural problem. A sagging roof that's not reinforced or replaced will deteriorate more over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Orosi will depend on factors such as your budget and how often you're willing to do maintenance.
Metal is more expensive but lasts longer, while asphalt will be cheaper up front but won't last as long. 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 Orosi'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 a valid license in order 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 size of your roof, how easily accessible it is, and what the weather is like in Orosi during the timeframe. .
Generally, the fall or the spring is the best time of year to have your roof replaced. If you try to schedule your project during the summer, it may get delayed if there is hot weather in Orosi.
Generally, you should clean your roof about once a year. You may need to clean your roof more frequently if there's a buildup of mildew, mold, leaves, or moss.
A professional might either pressure wash or "soft wash" your roof, depending on the material and how much cleaning is 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 brushes and brooms, and chemicals such as detergent and bleach.
