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 is an important consideration when replacing a major piece of your home like your roof. Below, see the average price range for roof replacement on a 1,500 square foot home in Dracut, as well as price differences between various popular roofing materials.
A new roof installation is a large home renovation that can cost over twenty thousand dollars total. It's essential to research and find a highly reviewed and recommended roofing company for the job. Here are some important considerations for choosing a roofer.
Though most homeowners don't think about their roof every day, it plays a vital protective role for your home. Be attentive for these common signs that your roof may need inspection and repairs from a professional roofer.
Your roof's age and material are key factors. Asphalt shingles, the most common residential roofing material, normally last 20–25 years before needing replacement. Schedule a professional inspection if your roof is approaching or past this lifespan to determine if it needs to be replaced.
Leaks are a common sign of roof issues. Water leaking through damaged or worn shingles often leads to water stains on walls, ceilings, and insulation, or in your attic. Don't neglect even small leaks, as they can still cause mold and other issues.
Visible roof decking or sheathing under your shingles indicates that those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal. This means the shingles likely need replacement. Shingles should lie flat to stop water from entering your home.
Carefully inspect your shingles from the ground or a safely-placed 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 condition, we recommend replacing any shingles that are no longer attached properly or that have gaps.
Metal flashing on your roof seals off chimneys, valleys, vents, and other areas where water can penetrate the roofing system. 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 unevenness, schedule a professional inspection. An unsupported roof deck will continue to deteriorate over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Dracut will depend on factors such as your budget and how frequently you want to do maintenance.
Metal costs more 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.
For smaller home improvement jobs, a Massachusetts contractor might require only a Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) registration. For larger 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 that you sign a contract with must have an HIC registration; for bigger jobs, the CSL may be held by someone else, for example if work is subcontracted out.
The best time of year for a roof replacement is fall or spring. If you try to schedule a project during the wintertime, cold weather in Dracut could extend the working timeline.
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. Certain materials (such as metal) are more energy-efficient than others.
Some roof replacement costs may be covered by your home insurance if you use one of your insurance company's preferred contractors (if it has any). It might be easier to get replacement or repair costs covered if the damage is due to a covered weather event like a severe storm. You should talk to your home insurance company to learn whether either of these situations apply to you.
