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, cost matters. Below is the typical price range to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Alliance. We also compare costs for common roofing materials.
A new roof installation is a major 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 some important considerations for hiring a roofer.
Though most homeowners don't think about their roof on a daily basis, it provides critical protections for your home. Keep watch 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, generally last 20–25 years before needing replacement. Have your roof evaluated if it’s approaching or past this lifespan to determine if it needs to be replaced.
One of the most obvious signs of a roof issue is leaking. Stains on insulation, ceilings, and walls — or in your attic — usually indicate that water is seeping through worn or damaged shingles. Don't ignore small leaks, because even these can lead to mold growth and roof damage.
If you can see roof decking or sheathing underneath your shingles, it means those shingles are curling substantially or losing their seal, and replacement is required. Shingles should lie flat to prevent water from getting into your home.
Examine your shingles thoroughly from ground level or a sturdy ladder. Look for ones that are damaged or that no longer have their protective coating. Over time, storms can cause surface damage. To keep your roof in repair, replace any shingles that are no longer attached properly or are openly gaping.
Roof flashing seals off valleys, chimneys, vents, and other areas that pass through the roof. If the metal flashing is cracked, peeling away, or completely worn out, it can leak. Have any issues with roof flashing fixed right away.
A structural problem can cause your roof to sag or slope unevenly. If you notice signs of the roof sagging, schedule a professional inspection. An unsupported roof deck will continue to deteriorate over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Alliance will be decided by several factors, such as your budget and how often you're willing to do maintenance.
Asphalt is less costly, while materials like metal cost more but last longer. You also might choose a material like wood for its environmentally friendly nature.
All contractors and subcontractors in Nebraska must be registered with the Department of Labor. To register, contractors are required to provide proof of insurance. There is no special licensing required specifically for roofing contractors in Nebraska.
Roof replacement typically takes around one to five days. This timeline can be affected by factors like the weather in Alliance, the size of your roof, and how easy your roof is to access. .
The best time of year for a roof replacement is fall or spring. Otherwise, colder temperatures in the winter or hotter temperatures in the summer can get in the way of getting the job done.
A professional might either pressure wash or "soft wash" your roof, depending on the material and the extent of the cleaning needed. Power washing is not recommended for certain roof types like asphalt shingles. When soft washing your roof, your contractor might use tools such as brooms and brushes, and chemicals such as bleach and detergent.
The signs that a roofer did a good job are: the shingles are all uniform in appearance, the roof is not sagging, and the underlayment and flashing were properly installed.
