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 substantial as roof replacement, cost matters. Below is the usual price range to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Sikeston. We also compare prices for common roofing materials.
Installing a new roof is a major home renovation that might cost tens of thousands of dollars when finished. It's crucial to research extensively to find the best credentialed and most respected roofing company for the job. Here are the main things to consider when hiring 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 inspection and repairs from a professional roofer.
Your roof's age and material are key factors. Asphalt shingles, the most common residential roofing material, typically last 20–25 years before needing to be replaced. Schedule a professional inspection if your roof is nearing or past this lifespan to determine if full replacement is needed.
One of the most obvious signs of a roof issue is leaking. Stains on ceilings, walls, and insulation — or in your attic — usually indicate that water is seeping through worn or damaged shingles. Don't ignore small leaks, because even these can encourage mold growth and roof damage.
If you can see the roof deck boards 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 getting into your home.
Carefully inspect 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 condition, we recommend replacing any dislodged or gaping shingles.
Roof flashing seals off vents, valleys, chimneys, and other areas that penetrate your roofing system. If the metal flashing is damaged, coming loose, or deteriorated, it can leak. Have any issues with roof flashing fixed right away.
If your roof shows signs of sagging or unevenness, it's time to call a professional roofer. These issues could signal a structural problem. A sagging roof that's not reinforced or replaced will deteriorate more over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Sikeston will depend on things like your budget and how often you want to do maintenance.
Metal is more expensive but lasts longer, while asphalt will be cheaper up front but won't last as long. In Sikeston, winters can be cold. This can make a wood roof, with its superior insulation, a better choice for you.
Roofing contractors are not required to be licensed through the state of Missouri. However, you can verify a company's business license, and check with your municipal government to see if there are any additional local requirements.
In general, it takes around one to five days to replace a roof. Variables that could influence the timeline include the accessibility of your roof, its size, and what the weather is like in Sikeston during the timeframe. Sikeston tends to see a lot of rain, which might impede progress.
The best time of year to have your roof replaced is spring or fall. In the summer, Sikeston's hot temperatures can impede progress.
Some roof replacement costs may be covered by your home insurance 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 such as severe winter weather. You should talk to your home insurance company to find out if either of these situations are applicable to you.
