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 a major consideration when replacing something as big as your roof. Below, find the average price range for roof replacement on a 1,500 square foot home in Tyngsborough, as well as price differences between different popular roofing materials.
Installing a new roof is a major home improvement project that can cost upwards of twenty thousand dollars when all is said and done. It's crucial to research and find a top quality and trusted local roofing contractor for the job. Here are some important factors to consider when choosing a roofing contractor.
Though most homeowners don't think about their roof every day, it plays a vital protective role for your home. Remain alert for these common signs that your roof may need professional inspection and repair.
Your roof's age and material are key factors. Asphalt shingles, the most popular residential roofing material, normally last around 20–25 years before needing replacement. Schedule a professional inspection if your roof is approaching or past this lifespan to determine if full replacement is needed.
Leaks are a common sign of roof issues. Water leaking through deteriorating shingles often leads to water stains on ceilings, insulation, and walls, or in your attic. Don't ignore even small leaks, as they can still cause mold and other issues.
Visible roof decking or sheathing under your shingles is a sign that those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal. This means it's time for replacement. Shingles should lie flat to stop water from leaking into your home.
Carefully examine 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 repair, we recommend replacing any missing shingles or ones with gaps.
Roof flashing protects vents, valleys, chimneys, and other areas that pass through the roof. If the metal flashing is damaged, coming loose, or deteriorated, it can leak. Have any flashing problems fixed right away.
If you notice your roofline showing signs of sagging or unevenness, 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 given proper reinforcement or replaced entirely.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Tyngsborough will depend on factors such as your budget and how frequently you're willing to do maintenance.
Metal is more expensive but lasts longer, 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 contractor in Massachusetts may need only a Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) registration. For bigger 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 larger jobs, the CSL may be held by another person, for example if work is subcontracted out.
Roof replacement normally takes between one and five days. This timeline might be affected by factors like the weather in Tyngsborough, the accessibility of your roof, and its size. Be prepared for Tyngsborough's rainy weather to slow down progress.
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.
After your roof has been installed, check the roof's appearance. If it looks uneven or not uniform, this is a sign that the roof was not installed well. Also, make sure the flashing wasn't reused. Properly installed flashing is important to prevent leaks and water damage to your home. Finally, you'll want to see that your contractor placed an underlayment between the shingles and sheathing of your house. This helps prevent leaks and extends the life of your roof.
