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 provide the average price range for replacing a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Middleborough. We also highlight price differences between common roof materials.
Roof installation is a large home improvement project that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. It’s essential to do your research and find the most qualified company for the job. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a roofer.
While most homeowners don't think about their roof every day, it plays a key role in protecting your home. Look out for these common signs that your roof may need an inspection and repairs from a professional roofer.
The age and material of your roof are key factors. Asphalt shingles, the most popular residential roofing material, typically last about 20 to 25 years before needing replacement. If your roof is approaching or past this lifespan, have it evaluated to determine if full replacement is needed.
Leaks are a clear sign that your roof needs repair. Stains on ceilings, insulation, or walls, or in your attic often mean that water is getting through worn or damaged shingles. Even minor leaks need to be taken care of right away, as they can lead to mold and more harm over time.
Seeing roof deck boards or sheathing under your shingles is a sign 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.
Inspect 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 roof damage over time. To keep your roof in working order, replace any shingles that have become detached or have gaping holes.
Roof flashing provides a watertight seal around chimneys, valleys, vents, and other areas where water can penetrate your roof. Peeling, cracked, or deteriorated flashing can allow leaks. We recommend quickly addressing any flashing issues that come up.
An uneven roofline may be a sign of a structural issue that requires professional attention. Without taking steps to fix or replace it, a sagging roof will continue to worsen.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Middleborough 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 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 need only a Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) registration. For large projects, a contractor or company will need a Construction Supervisor License (CSL) in addition to the 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 could be held by someone else, for example if work is subcontracted out.
Roof cleaning generally costs around $466 in Middleborough. The exact price will depend on the size of your roof, its material, how many levels it has, and how severe the problem is.
Your roof can impact how energy-efficient your home is. 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.
A professional will either pressure wash or "soft wash" your roof, depending on the roofing material and the extent of the cleaning needed. Power washing is not recommended for certain roof types, such as asphalt shingles. To soft wash your roof, your contractor may use tools such as brushes and brooms, and chemicals such as detergent and bleach.
