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:
The type of roofing material that's best in San Marcos will depend on factors such as your budget and how frequently you want to do maintenance.
Slate is more expensive 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 San Marcos is at higher risk of wildfire damage. In San Marcos, 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 San Marcos' 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 in order to work on roofing projects valued over $500, and in most cases must be bonded.
On average, you can expect to pay around $1,195 for roof repairs in San Marcos. Depending on the type of repair you need, the cost of repairs can vary widely, from around $100 up to several thousands of dollars.
The best time of year to have your roof replaced is spring or fall. In the summer, San Marcos' hot temperatures can impede progress.
Generally, your roof needs to be cleaned about once a year. You might need to do an extra cleaning if you notice buildup of leaves, mold, moss, or mildew.
