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 involved as roof replacement, price is important. Below is the usual price range to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Englewood. We also compare costs for common roofing materials.
Roof installation is a big home improvement project that can cost upwards of twenty thousand dollars. It's essential 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.
Though most homeowners don't think about their roof every day, it plays a vital protective role for your home. Keep watch for these common signs that your roof may need professional inspection and repair.
The age and material of your roof play a big role. Asphalt shingles, the most popular roofing material for homes, normally last about around 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 walls, insulation, and ceilings — 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 deterioration.
If you can see roof decking or sheathing visible under your shingles, it means those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal and need to be replaced. Shingles should lie flat to prevent water from getting into your home.
Inspect your shingles closely from a steady ladder or while on the ground. Look for shingles that are cracked or are missing granules. Storms can cause roof damage over time. To keep your roof in good shape, replace any missing shingles, or ones that have gaping holes.
Metal flashing on your roof seals off valleys, chimneys, vents, and other areas where water can penetrate the roofing system. If the flashing is developing cracks, peeling away, or deteriorating over time, it may leak. Promptly address any flashing issues.
If you notice your roofline displaying signs of sagging or uneven slopes, it could indicate a problem with the structure that requires further inspection by a roofer. A sagging roof deck will worsen over time if not given proper reinforcement or replaced entirely.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Englewood 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. In Englewood, 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 Englewood's bright sunlight and save you money on cooling costs.
In Florida, contractors 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 have to meet additional requirements, such as holding roofing insurance. Both types of license are handled through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
In general, it takes about one to five days to replace a roof. Things that could influence the timeline include the accessibility of your roof, its size, and what the weather is like in Englewood during the timeframe. Englewood tends to see a lot of rain, which might impede progress.
Roof cleaning generally costs around $422 in Englewood. The exact price will depend on the size of your roof, how many levels it has, its material, and how thorough the cleaning will need to be.
There isn't a color that's best for everyone, but you can find yours by evaluating several factors. The local climate is important to consider since roofs that are a lighter color reflect more heat than darker roofs, therefore keeping your home cooler. This makes them better in warmer areas, such as Englewood. You should also think about what color and style your home is, as well as your personal aesthetic preferences.
Some roof replacement costs may be covered by your home insurance if you use one of your insurance company's preferred contractors (if it has any). It might be easier to get costs covered if the damage was caused by a covered weather event such as a severe storm. You should reach out to your home insurance company to find out if either of these situations apply to you.
