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 planning is important when you need to tackle a project as big as roof replacement. Below, we provide the average price range for replacing a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Westbrook. We also highlight price differences between common roof materials.
Installing a new roof is a major home improvement project that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. It’s essential to do your research and find the best company for the job. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a roofer.
Though it likely doesn't cross homeowners' minds daily, your roof plays a key role in protecting your home. Look out for these common signs that your roof may be in need of professional inspection and repair.
The age and material of your roof are important. Asphalt shingles, the most common roofing material for homes, usually 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 clearest signs of a roof problem is leaking. Stains on ceilings, walls, and insulation — or in your attic — usually indicate that water is seeping through damaged or worn shingles. Don't ignore small leaks, because even these can encourage mold growth and roof damage.
If you can see roof deck boards or sheathing under shingles, it means that those shingles are considerably curling or losing their seal. This means the shingles likely need replacement. Shingles should lie flat to stop water from leaking into your home.
Carefully inspect your shingles from the ground or a safe 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 repair, we recommend replacing any dislodged or gaping shingles.
Roof flashing protects valleys, chimneys, vents, and other areas that penetrate your roofing system. If the metal flashing is cracked, peeling away, or completely worn out, it can leak. Have any flashing problems fixed right away.
If you notice your roofline sagging or sloping unevenly, it could be a sign of a problem with the structure that requires professional inspection. A sagging roof deck will worsen over time if not reinforced or replaced.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Westbrook will be decided by several factors, including your budget and how often you're willing to do maintenance.
Asphalt is more budget-friendly, while materials like metal are more expensive but last longer. You also might choose a material like wood for its environmentally friendly nature.
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 over $3,000.
The best time of year for a roof replacement is spring or fall. In the winter, Westbrook's cold temperatures can impede progress.
Your roof can impact the energy efficiency of your home. For example, a good roof helps you spend less energy heating your home during the winter months. Some materials (like metal) are more energy-efficient than others.
Roof cleaning should be undertaken about once a year. You might want to clean your roof more often if there's a buildup of mildew, moss, leaves, or mold.
