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 is a major consideration when replacing a major piece of your home like your roof. Below, see the average price range for roof replacement on a 1,500 square foot home in Maine, as well as comparisons between different popular roofing materials.
A new roof installation is a major home renovation that can run tens of thousands of dollars. It's crucial to research and find a top-rated, trusted roofing company for the job. Here are the top things to evaluate when selecting a roofer.
Though most homeowners don't think about their roof every day, it provides critical protections for your home. Be attentive 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, 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 issue is leaking. Stains on ceilings, insulation, and walls — or in your attic — usually mean that water is seeping through worn or damaged shingles. Don't ignore small leaks, because even these can lead to mold growth and roof damage.
If you can see roof decking or sheathing visible under your shingles, it means those shingles are curling substantially or losing their seal and need to be replaced. Shingles should lie flat to prevent water from getting into your home.
Examine your roof shingles from the ground or a steady ladder. Look for cracking or loss of protective granule coating. Storms that bring strong winds can cause surface damage over time. To keep your roof in good shape, replace any shingles that have come loose or are openly gaping.
Roof flashing creates a barrier against the elements around valleys, chimneys, vents, and other areas that penetrate the roof. If this metal flashing is coming loose, cracked open, or worn down, it can allow leaks. Any issues with flashing should be addressed promptly.
If your roof sags or is uneven, it's time to call a professional roofer. These issues could signal a structural problem. A sagging roof that's not given adequate structural reinforcement or full replacement will deteriorate more over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Maine 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 will require more maintenance. Wood roofs have better insulation than many other materials, which can be very beneficial in the winter.
Illinois roofing contractors are required to obtain a license through the Department of Professional Regulation. Contractors are required to be bonded and insured to apply. There are licenses for residential work, both residential and commercial/industrial work or for commercial and industrial work only.
You can expect to pay about $459 for roof cleaning in Maine. Factors like how many stories your house has, the size of your roof, the material of your roof, and the extent of the issue will all influence the total cost.
Your roof does impact how energy-efficient your home is. For example, in the winter a good roof allows you to spend less energy heating your home. Some roofing materials, like metal, provide superior insulation compared to other types.
Depending on which contractor you use, some roof replacement costs may be covered by your home insurance. Some insurance companies might have preferred contractors. It may also be easier to have costs covered if the damage was caused by a covered weather event, such as a tornado. Speak with your home insurance company to find out if they have preferred contractors, and what costs are covered.
A professional will either pressure wash or "soft wash" your roof, depending on the roofing material and how much cleaning is needed. Power washing is not recommended for certain roof types, such as asphalt shingles. To soft wash your roof, your contractor may use chemicals like detergent and bleach, and tools such as brooms and brushes.
