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 tackling 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 Braintree Town. We also highlight price differences between popular roof materials.
Installing a new roof is a large home improvement project that can cost upwards of twenty thousand dollars. It's crucial to research and find the most skilled and reliable roofing professional for the job. Here are some key considerations when choosing a roofing contractor.
You may not think about your roof every single day, but it protects your home in important ways. Look out for these common signals that your roof needs to be evaluated and repaired by a professional roofer.
The age and material of your roof are important. Asphalt shingles, the most common roofing material for homes, normally last about around 20–25 years. If your roof is nearing or past this lifespan, get it inspected to see if it needs to be replaced.
One of the clearest signs of roof trouble is water leaks. Stains on your insulation, walls, or ceilings, or in your attic likely indicate water seeping through damaged or worn shingles. Even small leaks should not be ignored, as they can facilitate mold growth and further deteriorate your roof.
If you can see your roof deck boards underneath your shingles, it means those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal and need to be replaced. Shingles should lie flat to keep water from entering your home.
Examine your shingles closely from a safe ladder or while on the ground. Look for shingles that show cracks or are missing granules. Storms can cause exterior damage over time. To keep your roof in good shape, replace any shingles that have become detached or are openly gaping.
Metal flashing on your roof seals off valleys, vents, chimneys, 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 cause your roof to exhibit noticeable sagging or unevenness in slope. If you notice signs of the roof sagging, schedule a professional inspection. A roof deck that isn't reinforced will continue to deteriorate over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Braintree Town will depend on several factors, including your budget and how often you want 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.
For smaller home improvement jobs, a Massachusetts contractor might need only a Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) registration. For bigger 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 whom you sign a contract with must hold an HIC registration; for larger jobs, the CSL could be held by someone else, for example if work is subcontracted out.
Generally, it takes about one to five days to replace a roof. Factors that could influence this timeline include the accessibility of your roof, its size, and the weather in Braintree Town during the process. Braintree Town tends to see a lot of rain, which might impede progress.
You can expect to pay around $584 for roof cleaning in Braintree Town. Things like how many stories your house has, the material of your roof, the extent of the issue, and the size of your roof will all affect the final price.
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 detergent and bleach.
