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:
Budgeting is important when you need to tackle a project as big as replacing your roof. Below, we outline the average price range for replacing a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Glastonbury. We also outline price differences between popular roof materials.
Installing a new roof is a big home improvement project that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. It's crucial to research and find the most skilled and reliable roofing professional for the job. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a roofing contractor.
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.
Your roof's age and material are key factors. The most common residential roofing material is asphalt shingles, which typically last about 20 to 25 years before needing to be replaced. Schedule an inspection if your roof is reaching this age to determine if a full replacement is needed.
One of the clearest signs of a roof issue is leaking. Stains on ceilings, insulation, and walls — or in your attic — usually mean that water is seeping through deteriorating shingles. Don't ignore small leaks, because even these can lead to mold growth and roof damage.
If you can see the roof deck boards underneath your shingles, it means those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal and need to be replaced. Shingles should lie flat to keep water from leaking into your home.
Inspect your shingles closely from a sturdy ladder or while on the ground. Look for shingles that show cracks or no longer have their protective granule layer. Storms can cause roof damage over time. To keep your roof in good condition, replace any shingles that have become detached or have gaping holes.
Roof flashing seals off chimneys, vents, valleys, and other areas that penetrate your roofing system. If the metal flashing is damaged, coming loose, or deteriorated, it can leak. Have any issues with roof flashing fixed right away.
A structural problem can lead to noticeable roof sagging or unevenness. If you notice unevenness, schedule a professional inspection. A roof deck that isn't reinforced will get worse over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Glastonbury will depend on factors such as your budget and how frequently you want to do maintenance.
Metal costs more but is more durable, 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.
Roofers who work under a general home improvement contractor must be registered with the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection. Roofing contractors who do not work under a general contractor are not required to have a specific state license. You can also verify a general business license through the Department of Consumer Protection.
The best time of year for a roof replacement is spring or fall. If you try to schedule a project during the wintertime, cold weather in Glastonbury could extend the working timeline.
Your roof can impact the energy efficiency of your home. For example, a good roof helps you spend less energy heating your home during the winter months. Certain materials (such as metal) are more energy-efficient than others.
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 like asphalt shingles. When soft washing your roof, your contractor may use chemicals like detergent and bleach, and tools such as brooms and brushes.
