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 your roof. Below you'll find the typical price range to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Saugus. We also compare prices for common roofing materials.
A new roof installation is a major home renovation that can run over twenty thousand dollars total. It's essential to research and find a highly reviewed and recommended roofing company for the job. Here are the top things to evaluate when hiring a roofer.
Though most homeowners don't think about their roof on a daily basis, it provides critical protections for your home. Keep watch for these common signs that your roof may need professional inspection and repair.
Your roof's age and material are both important. The most popular residential roofing material is asphalt shingles, which generally last about 20 to 25 years before needing to be replaced. Have your roof evaluated if it’s approaching this age to determine if a full replacement is needed.
Leaks are a definite sign that your roof requires repairs. Stains on insulation, ceilings, or walls, or in your attic often mean that water is getting through deteriorating shingles. Even small leaks need to be taken care of promptly, as they can lead to mold and more deterioration over time.
If you can see roof deck boards or sheathing under shingles, it shows that those shingles are considerably curling or losing their seal. This means the shingles likely need replacement. Shingles should lie flat to prevent water from getting into your home.
Inspect your shingles thoroughly from ground level or a sturdy ladder. Look for ones that are cracked or that no longer have their protective coating. Over time, storms can cause surface damage. To keep your roof in repair, replace any shingles that are no longer attached properly or have gaping holes.
Roof flashing creates a watertight seal around vents, valleys, chimneys, and other areas where water can penetrate your roof. Deteriorated, cracked, or peeling flashing can allow leaks. We recommend promptly resolving any flashing issues that come up.
An uneven roofline may mean there's a structural issue that requires professional attention. Without taking steps to fix or replace it, a sagging roof will get worse over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Saugus will depend on a number of factors, such as your budget and how often you're willing to do maintenance.
Asphalt is less costly, while options 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 may require only a Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) registration. For larger 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 hold an HIC registration; for bigger jobs, the CSL could be held by another person, for example if work is subcontracted out.
The best time of year for a roof replacement is spring or fall. In the winter, Saugus' cold temperatures can impede progress.
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. Some materials (like metal) are more energy-efficient than others.
Roofs should normally be cleaned about once a year. You may want to clean your roof more often if there's a buildup of mold, moss, leaves, or mildew.
