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, price matters. Below is the usual price range to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Placentia. We also compare costs for popular roofing materials.
Installing a new roof is a big home renovation that may cost over ten thousand dollars total when finished. It's essential to research thoroughly to find the best credentialed and most respected roofing company for the job. Here are some key factors to consider when hiring a roofer.
You may not think about your roof daily, but it plays a vital role protecting your home. Be aware of these common signals that your roof needs to be inspected and repaired by a professional roofer.
The age and material of your roof are key factors. Asphalt shingles, the most common residential roofing material, typically last 20–25 years before needing replacement. If your roof is nearing or past this lifespan, have it evaluated to determine if full replacement is needed.
Leaks are a definite sign that your roof requires repairs. Stains on insulation, walls, or ceilings, or in your attic often signal that water is getting through deteriorating shingles. Even minor leaks should be taken care of right away, as they can cause mold and more harm over time.
If you can see roof decking or sheathing underneath your shingles, it means those shingles are curling substantially or losing their seal, and replacement is required. Shingles should lie flat to keep water from leaking into your house.
Inspect your shingles closely from a steady ladder or while on the ground. Look for shingles that are cracked or no longer have their protective granule layer. Storms can cause roof damage over time. To keep your roof in working order, replace any missing shingles, or ones that have gaping holes.
Roof flashing creates a watertight seal around valleys, chimneys, vents, and other areas where water can leak into your home. Cracked, peeling or deteriorated flashing can allow leaks. We recommend promptly resolving any flashing issues that come up.
If your roof sags or is uneven, it's time to call a professional roofer. These issues could signal 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 Placentia will depend on things like your budget and how frequently you want to do maintenance.
Metal is more expensive but lasts longer, while asphalt will be cheaper up front but will require more maintenance. In Placentia, 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 Placentia'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 are required to have a valid license in order to work on roofing projects valued over $500, and in most cases must be bonded.
The best time of year for a roof replacement is fall or spring. In the summer, Placentia's hot temperatures can impede progress.
Your roof can impact how energy-efficient your home is. For example, a good roof allows you to use less energy to cool your home during the summer. Certain materials (such as metal) are more energy-efficient than others. In Placentia, you can reduce your carbon footprint even more by installing solar panels on your roof.
You'll know your roofer did a good job if the roof has a uniform appearance, the roof is not sagging, and the flashing and underlayment were properly installed.
