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 involved as roof replacement, price matters. Below is the usual price range to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Danvers. We also compare prices for popular roofing materials.
A new roof installation is a major home renovation that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. It's crucial to research and find a highly reviewed and recommended roofing company for the job. Here are the top things to evaluate when choosing a roofer.
You may not think about your roof every single day, but it plays a vital role protecting your home. 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 play a big role. Asphalt shingles, the most popular roofing material for homes, typically 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 most obvious signs of roof trouble is water leaks. Stains on your ceilings, walls, or insulation, or in your attic are often a sign of water seeping through worn or damaged shingles. Even small leaks should not be ignored, as they can lead to mold growth and further deteriorate your roof.
If you can see roof sheathing or decking under shingles, it shows that those shingles are curling or losing their seal. This means the shingles likely need replacement. Shingles should lie flat to stop water from entering your home.
Inspect your shingles closely from a safe ladder or while on the ground. Look for shingles that have cracked or no longer have their protective granule layer. Storms can cause roof damage over time. To keep your roof in working order, replace any missing shingles, or ones that have gaping holes.
Roof flashing seals off valleys, chimneys, vents, and other areas that pass through the roof. 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 further inspection by a roofer. A sagging roof deck will worsen over time if not reinforced or replaced.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Danvers will depend on a number of 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.
For smaller home improvement jobs, a contractor in Massachusetts may only require a Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) registration. For bigger projects, a contractor or company 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 have an HIC registration; for larger jobs, the CSL could be held by another person, for example if work is subcontracted out.
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 Danvers during the timeframe. Danvers tends to see a lot of rain, which might impede progress.
Generally, the fall or the spring is the best time of year to have your roof replaced. In Danvers, 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.
There isn't one single best color for everyone, but you can find yours by evaluating several factors. The local climate is important to take into consideration because roofs that are a lighter color reflect more heat than darker roofs, which helps keep your home cooler. You should also think about what color and style your home is, along with your personal aesthetic preferences.
Your home insurance may cover some roof replacement costs if you use one of your insurance company's preferred contractors (if it has any). It might be easier to get costs covered if the damage is due to a covered weather event like a severe storm. You should reach out to your home insurance company to learn whether either of these situations apply to you.
