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 an important consideration when replacing your roof. Below is the average price range to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Hanover. We also compare prices for common roofing materials.
Roof installation is a major home improvement project that can cost tens of thousands of dollars in the end. It's essential to research and find the most skilled and reliable roofing professional for the job. Here are some important considerations when choosing a roofing contractor.
Though most homeowners don't think about their roof on a daily basis, it plays a vital protective role for your home. Remain alert for these common signs that your roof may need inspection and repairs from a professional roofer.
Your roof's age and material are both important. The most popular residential roofing material is asphalt shingles, which generally last around 20–25 years before requiring replacement. Have your roof evaluated if it’s reaching this age to determine if it needs to be replaced.
Leaks are a typical sign of roof issues. Water leaking through worn or damage shingles often leads to water stains on walls, ceilings, and insulation, or in your attic. Don't dismiss even small leaks, as leaks of any size can lead to mold and other damage.
If you can see roof sheathing or decking under shingles, it indicates 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 getting into your home.
Inspect your shingles closely from a steady ladder or while on the ground. Look for shingles that show cracks or are missing granules. Storms can cause exterior damage over time. To keep your roof in good shape, replace any missing shingles, or ones that are openly gaping.
Roof flashing protects 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.
An uneven roofline may be a sign of a structural issue that requires professional attention. Without properly addressing and resolving the issue, a sagging roof will continue to worsen.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Hanover will depend on factors such as your budget and how frequently 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. Wood has better insulation than many other roofing types, which can save you money during colder months.
New Hampshire is among the few states that does not have state-level licensing requirements for contractors. You may want to check with your municipal government to see if there are any local requirements.
There is one exception: contractors who work with asbestos are required to be licensed by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services.
It generally takes between one and five days to replace a roof. Factors that could influence the timeline include the accessibility of your roof, its size, and the weather in Hanover during the process. Hanover tends to see a lot of rain, which might impede progress.
Generally, the fall or the spring is the best time of year to have your roof replaced. In Hanover, we highly recommend avoiding the wintertime if you can, as cold temperatures can negatively affect the project's timeline – not to mention you may be cold while contractors are working.
Roofs should normally be cleaned about once a year, possibly more often if your property has a lot of trees. You might want to clean your roof more often if there's a buildup of mildew, mold, moss, or leaves.
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 replacement or repair costs covered if the damage was caused by a covered weather event like an ice storm. You should contact your home insurance company to find out if either of these situations apply to you.
