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 Dyer. We also compare prices for 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 highly reviewed and recommended roofing company for the job. Here are some important considerations for hiring a roofer.
Though most homeowners don't think about their roof every day, it provides critical protections 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 are important. Asphalt shingles, the most common residential roofing material, typically last 20–25 years before needing replacement. If your roof is approaching or past this lifespan, have it evaluated to determine if full replacement is needed.
One of the most obvious signs of a roof problem is leaking. Stains on walls, ceilings, and insulation — 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.
Seeing roof deck boards or sheathing under your shingles indicates that those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal. This means the shingles likely need replacement. Shingles should lie flat to stop water from entering your home.
Carefully inspect your shingles from the ground or a steady ladder. Look for any shingles that have cracked or are missing granules. Over time, environmental factors like storms can cause surface damage. To keep your roof in good condition, we recommend replacing any shingles that are no longer attached properly or that have gaps.
Roof flashing protects chimneys, valleys, vents, and other areas that pass through the roof. If the metal flashing is damaged, coming loose, or deteriorated, it can leak. Have any flashing problems fixed right away.
If your roof shows signs of sagging or unevenness, get a roofer to evaluate it. These issues could indicate a structural problem. A sagging roof that's not reinforced or replaced will deteriorate more over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Dyer will depend on factors such as your budget and how often you're willing to do maintenance.
Metal costs more 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.
In Indiana, contractor licensing is handled at the municipality rather than the state level. Indiana businesses must have a state business license, but to verify the licensing and insurance requirements for roofing contractors in your area, you should contact your local municipality government.
Roof replacement normally takes between one and five days. This timeline can be influenced by factors like the weather in Dyer, the size of your roof, and how easy your roof is to access. .
Roof cleaning costs about $419 in Dyer. The total cost will depend on the size of your roof, how many levels it has, its material, and how severe the problem is.
The extent of the cleaning needed, as well as the material of your roof, will decide how your contractor cleans it. Some roofs benefit from power washing, but this is not recommended for materials like asphalt tiles. "Soft washing" uses tools like brooms and brushes, plus chemicals like bleach and detergent.
