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, cost is important. Below is the usual price range to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Woodside. We also compare costs for popular roofing materials.
Roof installation is a major home improvement project that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. It’s crucial to do your research and find the most qualified company for the job. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a roofer.
You may not think about your roof daily, but it protects your home in important ways. Look out for these common signals that your roof needs to be checked and repaired by a professional roofer.
The age and material of your roof are key factors. Asphalt shingles, the most popular residential roofing material, typically last around 20–25 years before needing to be replaced. If your roof is nearing or past this lifespan, have it evaluated to determine if full replacement is needed.
Leaks are a frequent sign of roof issues. Water leaking through worn or damage shingles often leads to water stains on ceilings, walls, and insulation, or in your attic. Don't neglect even small leaks, as leaks of any size can lead to mold and other damage.
If you can see roof sheathing or decking under shingles, it shows that those shingles are curling or losing their seal. This means it's time for replacement. Shingles should lie flat to prevent water from entering your home.
Inspect your shingles closely from a steady 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 good shape, replace any missing shingles, or ones that have gaping holes.
Roof flashing creates a watertight seal around vents, valleys, chimneys, and other areas where water can penetrate your roof. Deteriorated, cracked, or peeling flashing can allow leaks. We recommend promptly resolving any flashing issues that come up.
A structural problem can cause your roof to sag or slope unevenly. If you notice signs of the roof sagging, get a roofing company to inspect it. An unsupported roof deck will get worse over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Woodside 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 won't last as long. 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 from 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.
In general, it takes between one and five days to replace a roof. Variables that could influence this timeline include the accessibility of your roof, its size, and the weather in Woodside during the process. .
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. Some materials (like metal) are more energy-efficient than others.
Generally, you need to clean your roof about once a year. You might need to do an extra cleaning if you notice buildup of moss, mildew, mold, or leaves.
The signs that a roofer did a good job are: the shingles are all uniform in appearance, the roof is not sagging, and the flashing and underlayment were properly installed.
