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:
For a project as big as roof replacement, price is important. Below is the usual price range to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Berkeley. We also compare prices for popular roofing materials.
Installing a new roof is a big home renovation that may cost tens of thousands of dollars. It's essential to research extensively to find the best credentialed and most respected roofing company for the job. Here are the main things to consider when picking 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 professional inspection and repair.
The age and material of your roof are important. Asphalt shingles, the most common roofing material for homes, typically last about 20 to 25 years. If your roof is nearing or past this lifespan, schedule an inspection to see if it needs to be replaced.
One of the most obvious signs of a roof problem is leaking. Stains on walls, ceilings, and insulation — 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 deterioration.
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 thoroughly from ground level or a steady ladder. Look for ones that are cracked or that are missing granules. Over time, storms can cause surface damage. To keep your roof in good shape, replace any shingles that detach or have gaping holes.
Roof flashing makes a watertight seal around chimneys, vents, valleys, and other areas where water can leak into your home. Deteriorated, cracked, or peeling flashing can allow leaks. We recommend promptly resolving any flashing issues that come up.
A structural problem can cause your roof to sag or slope unevenly. If you notice unevenness, schedule a professional inspection. An improperly supported roof deck will only get worse without proper support.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Berkeley will depend on things like your budget and how often you want to do maintenance.
Metal is more expensive 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.
In Missouri, roofing contractors are not required to be licensed at the state level. However, you can verify a company's business license, and check with your municipal government to see if there are any additional local requirements.
The best time of year to have your roof replaced is fall or spring. If you start your roofing job in the summer, warm weather in Berkeley can slow down work.
Your roof does impact the energy efficiency of your home. For example, in the summer a good roof helps you cool your home more efficiently. Certain materials, such as metal, provide better insulation than other types.
Generally, you should clean your roof about once a year. You might want to clean your roof more often if there's a buildup of moss, leaves, mold, or mildew.
Your home insurance may cover some roof replacement costs if you use one of your insurance company's preferred contractors (if it has any). It may be easier to get some costs covered if the damage is due to a covered weather event like a hail storm. You should contact your home insurance company to learn whether either of these situations apply to you.
