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:
Budgeting is important when you need to tackle a project as big as roof replacement. Below, we provide the average price range for replacing a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Sutton. We also highlight price differences between popular roof materials.
A new roof installation is a large home renovation that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. 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 choosing a roofer.
Though most homeowners don't think about their roof on a daily basis, it provides critical protections for your home. Remain alert 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 popular residential roofing material, normally last 20–25 years before needing replacement. Have your roof evaluated if it’s nearing or past this lifespan to determine if full replacement is needed.
One of the clearest signs of a roof problem is leaking. Stains on ceilings, insulation, and walls — or in your attic — usually mean that water is seeping through damaged or worn shingles. Don't ignore small leaks, because even these can encourage mold growth and roof damage.
If you can see roof decking or sheathing 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.
Inspect your shingles thoroughly from ground level or a sturdy ladder. Look for ones that have cracks or that are missing granules. Over time, storms can cause surface damage. To keep your roof in good shape, replace any shingles that are no longer attached properly or have gaping holes.
Metal flashing on your roof seals off vents, chimneys, valleys, and other areas where water can penetrate the roofing system. If the flashing is becoming damaged, loose, or worn down, it may leak. Promptly address any flashing issues.
A structural problem can cause your roof to sag or slope unevenly. If you notice unevenness, get a roofing company to inspect it. A roof deck that isn't reinforced will only get worse without proper support.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Sutton will be determined by a number of factors, including 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 need only a Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) registration. For bigger projects, a company or contractor will need a Construction Supervisor License (CSL) in addition to 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 another person, for example if work is subcontracted out.
Roof cleaning typically costs about $495 in Sutton. The total cost will depend on the size of your roof, its material, how many levels it has, and how severe the problem is.
Your roof can absolutely 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.
Usually, you should clean your roof about once a year. If there are a lot of trees on your property, your roof may need an extra cleaning in the fall. Also consider an extra cleaning if you notice buildup of mold, moss, mildew, or leaves.
