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 outline the average price range for replacing a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Wildwood. We also outline price differences between common roof materials.
A new roof installation is a large home renovation that can run tens of thousands of dollars. It's essential to research and find a highly reviewed and recommended roofing company for the job. Here are some important considerations for choosing a roofer.
You may not think about your roof daily, but it protects your home in important ways. Look out for these common signals that your roof needs to be evaluated and repaired by a professional roofer.
Your roof's age and material are key factors. Asphalt shingles, the most popular residential roofing material, generally last about 20 to 25 years before needing to be replaced. Schedule a professional inspection if your roof is nearing or past this lifespan to determine if it needs to be replaced.
One of the clearest signs of a roof problem is leaking. Stains on ceilings, walls, and insulation — or in your attic — usually mean that water is seeping through worn or damaged shingles. Don't ignore small leaks, because even these can encourage mold growth and roof deterioration.
If you can see roof sheathing or decking under shingles, it means that those shingles are curling or losing their seal. This means the shingles likely need replacement. Shingles need to lie flat to stop water from leaking into your home.
Inspect your roof shingles from the ground or a safe ladder. Look for signs of damage or missing granules. Storms that bring strong winds can cause surface damage over time. To maintain your roof, replace any shingles that have come loose or have open gaps.
Roof flashing creates a watertight seal around chimneys, valleys, vents, and other areas where water can penetrate your roof. Cracked, peeling or deteriorated flashing can allow leaks. We recommend quickly addressing any flashing issues that come up.
An uneven roofline may indicate a structural issue that requires professional evaluation. Without fixing or replacing it, a sagging roof will worsen over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Wildwood will depend on a number of factors, including your budget and how often you want to do maintenance.
Asphalt is more budget-friendly, while options like metal are more expensive but last longer. You also might choose a material like wood for its environmentally friendly nature.
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 local government to see if there are any additional requirements in your municipality.
It generally takes between one and five days to replace a roof. Variables that could influence this timeline include the accessibility of your roof, its size, and what the weather is like in Wildwood during the process. .
The best time of year for a roof replacement is spring or fall. If you start your roofing job in the summer, warm weather in Wildwood can slow down work.
How soiled your roof is, in addition to what it's made of, will decide how your contractor cleans it. Power washing can be used on some roofs, but it isn't recommended for materials like asphalt tiles. "Soft washing" uses tools like brushes and brooms, plus chemicals like detergent and bleach.
