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 provide the average price range for replacing a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Chamblee. We also highlight price differences between common roof materials.
Roof installation is a large home improvement project that can cost tens of thousands of dollars when all is said and done. It's crucial to research and find the most qualified and reputable residential roofing company for the job. Here are the key factors to consider 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 deteriorating 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. Peeling, cracked, or deteriorated flashing can allow leaks. We recommend quickly addressing any problems with the roof flashing that come up.
If you notice your roofline sagging or sloping unevenly, it could be a sign of a problem with the structure that requires professional inspection. A sagging roof deck will worsen over time if not reinforced or replaced.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Chamblee will depend on factors such as your budget and how frequently you want to do maintenance.
Metal is more expensive but is more durable, while asphalt will be cheaper up front but won't last as long. 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.
Roofing contractors in Georgia 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 for contractors, as they are considered an Exempt Specialty Contractor.
You can expect to pay about $643 for roof cleaning in Chamblee. Things 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 final price.
Generally, the fall or the spring is the best time of year to have your roof replaced. In the summer, Chamblee's hot temperatures can slow down the project.
Spray foam insulation in one of the best types of insulation. It lasts longer than other kinds and also seals any cracks in your roof. The downside is that it's more expensive than other types of insulation.
Depending on which contractor you use, your home insurance may cover some roof replacement costs. Some insurance companies might have preferred contractors. It might also be easier to have costs covered if the damage was due to a covered weather event, such as a tornado. Reach out to your home insurance company to find out if they have preferred contractors, and what costs may be covered.
