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:
Cost planning 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 Chamblee. We also highlight price differences between popular roof materials.
Installing a new roof is a large home improvement project that can cost tens of thousands of dollars in the end. It's crucial to research and find the most skilled and reliable roofing professional for the job. Here are some key considerations when choosing a roofing contractor.
Though most homeowners don't think about their roof on a daily basis, it plays a vital protective role for your home. Remain alert for these common signs that your roof may need inspection and repairs from a professional roofer.
The age and material of your roof are important. Asphalt shingles, the most popular roofing material for homes, typically last about around 20–25 years. If your roof is nearing or past this lifespan, have it inspected to see if it needs to be replaced.
One of the clearest signs of a roof problem is leaking. Stains on walls, ceilings, and insulation — or in your attic — usually indicate 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 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 prevent water from getting into your home.
Examine your shingles closely from a safe ladder or while on the ground. Look for shingles that show cracks 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 are openly gaping.
Roof flashing creates a watertight seal around chimneys, vents, valleys, and other areas where water can penetrate your roof. Cracked, peeling or deteriorated flashing can allow leaks. We recommend quickly addressing any problems with the roof flashing that come up.
If your roof shows signs of sagging or unevenness, schedule a professional inspection. These issues could signal a structural problem. A sagging roof that's not given adequate structural reinforcement or full replacement will worsen over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Chamblee will depend on things like your budget and how often you're willing to do maintenance.
Metal costs more but lasts longer, while asphalt will be cheaper up front but will require more maintenance. In Chamblee, 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 Chamblee's bright sunlight and save you money on cooling costs.
Georgia roofing contractors can obtain a license from the Georgia Roofing Contractors Association (GARCA), although this isn't mandatory. The state of Georgia does not have specific roofing license requirements, as roofers are considered an Exempt Specialty Contractor.
You can expect to pay about $687 for roof cleaning in Chamblee. Factors like how many stories your house has, the extent of the issue, the size of your roof, and the material of your roof will all affect the total cost.
The best time of year for a roof replacement is fall or spring. In the summer, Chamblee's hot temperatures can impede progress.
Insulation is important to take into consideration, because a home with good insulation lowers your energy costs from heating and cooling your home. Spray foam insulation is one of the best types because it is long-lasting and moisture-resistant. It also seals gaps and cracks, which prevents leaks. However, it is also more expensive than other types of insulation.
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 may be easier to get replacement or repair costs covered if the damage was caused by a covered weather event such as a tornado. You should reach out to your home insurance company to learn whether either of these situations apply to you.
