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 big as roof replacement, cost matters. Below is the typical price range to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Brunswick. We also compare costs for common roofing materials.
Installing a new roof is a major home renovation that may cost tens of thousands of dollars when finished. It's crucial to research extensively to find the most qualified and trustworthy roofing company for the job. Here are some important considerations when choosing a roofer.
You may not think about your roof daily, but it protects your home in important ways. Be aware of these common signals that your roof needs to be inspected 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 20–25 years before needing replacement. If your roof is approaching or past this lifespan, get a professional inspection to determine if full replacement is needed.
One of the clearest signs of a roof problem is leaking. Stains on ceilings, walls, 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.
If you can see your roof decking or sheathing material underneath your shingles, it means those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal and need replacement. Shingles should lie flat to keep water from getting into your home.
Carefully inspect your shingles from the ground or a steady ladder. Look for any shingles that have cracked or have lost their protective granule coating. Over time, environmental factors like storms can cause surface damage. To keep your roof in good shape, we recommend replacing any missing shingles or ones with gaps.
Roof flashing makes a watertight seal around valleys, chimneys, vents, and other areas where water can leak into your home. Peeling, cracked, or deteriorated flashing can allow leaks. We recommend promptly resolving any flashing issues that come up.
An uneven roofline may indicate a structural issue that requires professional attention. Without fixing or replacing it, a sagging roof will get worse over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Brunswick 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. Wood roofs have better insulation than many other materials, which can be very beneficial in the winter.
Roofing contractors in Maine do not need 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 any construction or home improvement projects worth more than $3,000.
Generally, it takes about one to five days to replace a roof. Factors that could influence the timeline include the accessibility of your roof, its size, and the weather in Brunswick during the timeframe. Brunswick tends to see a lot of rain, which might extend the timeline.
Your roof can absolutely impact the energy efficiency of your home. For example, a good roof helps you spend less energy heating your home during the winter months. Certain materials (such as metal) are more energy-efficient than others.
The extent of the cleaning needed, as well as the material of your roof, will determine 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.
