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 substantial as roof replacement, price is important. Below is the typical price range to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Berwick. We also compare costs for common roofing materials.
Roof installation is a major home improvement project that can cost upwards of twenty thousand dollars out of pocket. It’s crucial to do your research and find the most qualified company for the job. Here are some important considerations for choosing a roofer.
You may not think about your roof daily, but it plays a vital role protecting your home. Be aware of these common signals that your roof needs to be evaluated 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 about 20 to 25 years before needing to be replaced. If your roof is approaching or past this lifespan, have it evaluated to determine if full replacement is needed.
Leaks are a definite sign that your roof needs repair. Stains on walls, insulation, or ceilings, or in your attic often signal that water is getting through worn or damaged shingles. Even small leaks should be taken care of promptly, as they can lead to mold and more harm over time.
If you can see roof sheathing or decking under shingles, it means that those shingles are curling or losing their seal. This means it's time for replacement. Shingles need to lie flat to stop water from entering your home.
Examine your roof shingles from the ground or a safe ladder. Look for signs of damage or missing granules. Storms that bring strong winds can cause surface damage over time. To maintain your roof, replace any shingles that have come loose or have open gaps.
Roof flashing makes a watertight seal around chimneys, valleys, vents, and other areas where water can penetrate your roof. Deteriorated, cracked, or peeling flashing can allow leaks. We recommend quickly addressing any flashing issues that come up.
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 continue worsening over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Berwick will depend on several factors, including your budget and how often you're willing to do maintenance.
Asphalt is more budget-friendly, while materials like metal cost more but last longer. You also might choose a material like wood for its environmentally friendly nature.
Roofing contractors in Maine do not require any state licensure (unless they work with asbestos, which requires specific licensure from the Department of Environmental Protection). However, the state requires "a written contract with a specific provision that prohibits payment up front of more than one third of the contract price" for all construction and home improvement projects worth over $3,000.
The best time of year to have your roof replaced is fall or spring. In the winter, Berwick's cold temperatures can impede progress.
Your roof absolutely impacts how energy-efficient your home is. For example, in the winter a good roof allows you to spend less energy heating your home. Certain roofing materials, such as metal, provide superior insulation compared to other types.
The best roofing color for you is based on a few factors like the style and color of your house and the local climate. For example, if you have a Spanish style home, then you'll most likely want a terracotta roof to match the style. Also, if you live in a hot climate, you may want to avoid darker colors because they absorb heat, which makes cooling your home more difficult.
A professional might either pressure wash or "soft wash" your roof, depending on the roofing material and the extent of the cleaning needed. Power washing is not recommended for certain roof types, such as asphalt shingles. When soft washing your roof, your contractor might use chemicals like bleach and detergent, and tools such as brushes and brooms.
