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 tackling a project as big as roof replacement. Below, we outline the average price range for replacing a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Bonita Springs. We also outline price differences between common roof materials.
Installing a new roof is a major home renovation that might cost tens of thousands of dollars. It's crucial 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.
While the average homeowner may not spend a lot of time thinking about their roof, a roof plays an important role in keeping a home safe and secure. Be on the lookout for these signs that your roof might need professional attention.
The age and material of your roof are important. Asphalt shingles, the most popular roofing material for homes, typically last about 20–25 years. If your roof is nearing or past this lifespan, schedule an inspection to see if it needs to be replaced.
One of the most obvious signs of a roof problem is leaking. Stains on insulation, walls, and ceilings — or in your attic — usually mean that water is seeping through worn or damaged shingles. Don't ignore small leaks, because even these can encourage mold growth and roof deterioration.
If you can see roof deck boards or sheathing under shingles, it means that those shingles are considerably curling or losing their seal. This means it's time for replacement. Shingles should lie flat to prevent water from entering your home.
Examine your shingles closely from a safe ladder or while on the ground. Look for shingles that show cracks or no longer have their protective granule layer. Hurricanes — or even regular storms — can cause exterior damage over time. To keep your roof in good condition, replace any missing shingles, or ones that are openly gaping.
Roof flashing creates a barrier against the elements around vents, valleys, chimneys, and other areas that penetrate your roof. If this metal flashing is cracked, peeling away from the surface, or otherwise deteriorated, it can allow leaks. Any issues with flashing should be addressed promptly.
An uneven roofline may mean there's a structural issue that requires professional attention. Without fixing or replacing it, a sagging roof will worsen over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Bonita Springs will depend on things like your budget and how often you want to do maintenance.
Metal costs more but is more durable, 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 Bonita Springs is at higher risk of wildfire damage. In Bonita Springs, 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 Bonita Springs' bright sunlight and save you money on cooling costs.
Contractors in Florida can be registered or certified. Registered contractors work in a specific county or city and must meet certain competencies and obtain business insurance. Certified contractors are able to work throughout the state, and must hold roofing insurance, among other additional requirements. Both types of license are handled through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
Roof replacement typically takes about one to five days. This timeline can be affected by factors like the weather in Bonita Springs, the size of your roof, and how easy your roof is to access. Be prepared for Bonita Springs' rainy weather to slow down 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 Bonita Springs, you can reduce your carbon footprint even more by installing solar panels on your roof.
Your home insurance may cover some roof replacement costs if you use one of your insurance company's preferred contractors (if it has any). It may be easier to get some costs covered if the damage is due to a covered weather event such as a severe storm. You should talk to your home insurance company to learn whether either of these situations are applicable to you.
