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 replacing your roof. Below, we outline the average price range for replacing a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Beverly. We also outline price differences between common roof materials.
Installing a new roof is a big home renovation that might cost tens of thousands of dollars. It's crucial to research extensively to find the best credentialed and most respected roofing company for the job. Here are some important considerations when choosing a roofer.
While the average homeowner may not spend a lot of time thinking about their roof, a roof plays an important role in keeping a home safe and secure. Be on the lookout for these signs that your roof might need professional attention.
The age and material of your roof play a big role. Asphalt shingles, the most popular roofing material for homes, normally last about 20–25 years. If your roof is nearing or past this lifespan, schedule an inspection to see if complete replacement is necessary.
One of the clearest signs of roof trouble is water leaks. Stains on your ceilings, insulation, or walls, or in your attic likely indicate water seeping through worn or damaged shingles. Even small leaks should not be ignored, as they can lead to mold growth and further damage your roof.
If you can see roof decking or sheathing underneath your shingles, it means those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal, and replacement is required. Shingles should lie flat to prevent water from getting into your home.
Carefully inspect your shingles from the ground or a steady ladder. Look for any shingles that are 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, you should replace any shingles that are no longer attached properly or that have gaps.
Metal flashing on your roof seals off vents, chimneys, valleys, and other areas where water can leak in. If the flashing is becoming damaged, loose, or worn down, it may leak. Promptly take care of any flashing issues.
A structural problem can lead to noticeable roof sagging or unevenness. If you notice signs of the roof sagging, get a roofing company to inspect it. An improperly supported roof deck will get worse over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Beverly 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.
For smaller home improvement jobs, a Massachusetts contractor may require only a Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) registration. For large projects, a company or contractor will need a Construction Supervisor License (CSL) along with HIC registration. Both are provided by the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation.
The contractor that you sign a contract with must hold an HIC registration; for larger jobs, the CSL might be held by someone else, for example if work is subcontracted out.
Generally, the fall or the spring is the best time of year to have your roof replaced. In Beverly, we highly recommend avoiding the wintertime if you can, as cold temperatures can negatively affect the project's timeline – not to mention you may be cold while contractors are working.
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, like metal, provide better insulation than other types.
The signs that a roofer did a good job are: the roof has a uniform appearance, the roof is not sagging, and the underlayment and flashing were properly installed.
