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 big as roof replacement, cost is important. Below is the typical price range to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Redondo Beach. We also compare prices for common 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 in depth to find the most qualified and trustworthy roofing company for the job. Here are the main things to consider when choosing a roofer.
Though it likely doesn't cross homeowners' minds daily, your roof plays a key role in protecting your home. Watch for these common signs that your roof may be in need of professional inspection and repair.
Your roof's age and material are key factors. Asphalt shingles, the most popular residential roofing material, normally last about 20 to 25 years before needing replacement. Schedule a professional inspection if your roof is approaching or past this lifespan to determine if it needs to be replaced.
Leaks are a typical sign of roof issues. Water leaking through deteriorating shingles often leads to water stains on ceilings, insulation, and walls, or in your attic. Don't neglect even small leaks, as they can still cause mold and other issues.
If you can see roof sheathing or decking under shingles, it means that those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal. This means it's time for replacement. Shingles should lie flat to stop water from leaking into your home.
Inspect your shingles closely from a safe ladder or while on the ground. Look for shingles that have cracked or are missing granules. 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 chimneys, vents, valleys, and other areas where water can leak into your home. Peeling, cracked, or deteriorated flashing can allow leaks. We recommend promptly resolving any problems with the roof flashing that come up.
If you notice your roofline sagging or sloping unevenly, it could indicate a problem with the structure that requires professional inspection. A sagging roof deck will worsen over time if not reinforced or replaced.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Redondo Beach 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 will require more maintenance. Metal, clay, and treated wood tend to be the best options if your part of Redondo Beach is at higher risk of wildfire damage. In Redondo Beach, 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 Redondo Beach'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 are required to have an active license to work on roofing projects valued over $500, and in most cases must be bonded.
Roof cleaning costs around $426 in Redondo Beach. The total cost will depend on the size of your roof, how many levels it has, its material, and how thorough the cleaning will need to be.
Your roof absolutely impacts how energy-efficient your home is. For example, in the summer a good roof helps you cool your home more efficiently. Certain materials, such as metal, provide better insulation than other types. Another way to improve energy efficiency, and potentially a great use of roof space in Redondo Beach, is installing solar panels.
Generally, you need to clean your roof about once a year. Consider an extra cleaning if you notice buildup of leaves, moss, mold, or mildew.
The extent of the cleaning needed, as well as the material of your roof, 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" is done with tools like brushes and brooms, and employs chemicals like bleach and detergent.
