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 a major consideration when replacing something as big as your roof. Below, find the average price range for roof replacement on a 1,500 square foot home in Burlington, as well as comparisons between different popular roofing materials.
A new roof installation is a large home renovation that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. It's crucial to research and find a highly reviewed and recommended roofing company for the job. Here are the top things to evaluate when hiring a roofer.
While the average homeowner may not spend a lot of time thinking about their roof, a roof plays a vital role in keeping a home safe and secure. Keep alert for these signs that your roof might need professional attention.
The age and material of your roof are key factors. Asphalt shingles, the most popular residential roofing material, typically last around 20–25 years before needing replacement. If your roof is nearing or past this lifespan, get a professional inspection to determine if full replacement is needed.
One of the clearest signs of a roof issue is leaking. Stains on insulation, ceilings, and walls — or in your attic — usually indicate 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 it's time for replacement. Shingles need to lie flat to stop water from getting into your home.
Carefully inspect your shingles from the ground or a steady ladder. Look for any shingles that have cracks or are missing granules. Over time, environmental factors like storms can cause surface damage. To keep your roof in good shape, you should replace any missing shingles or ones with gaps.
Roof flashing creates a barrier against the elements around valleys, vents, chimneys, and other areas that penetrate your roof. If this metal flashing is coming loose, cracked open, or worn down, it can allow leaks. Any issues with flashing should be addressed promptly.
An uneven roofline may be a sign of a structural issue that requires professional evaluation. Without fixing or replacing it, a sagging roof will continue deteriorating.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Burlington will depend on factors such as your budget and how often you want to do maintenance.
Metal costs more but lasts longer, while asphalt will be cheaper up front but will require more maintenance. Wood roofs have better insulation than many other materials, which can be very beneficial in the winter.
New Jersey does not require roofing contractors to obtain a state-level license, but all contractors working in the state are required to be registered with the Division of Consumer Affairs. You should also verify that your roofing contractor meets any local licensing requirements.
Roof replacement generally takes between one and five days. This timeline can be influenced by factors like the weather in Burlington, the accessibility of your roof, and its size. Be prepared for Burlington's rainy weather to impede progress.
The best time of year to have your roof replaced is spring or fall. 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 how much cleaning is needed. Power washing is not recommended for certain roof types like asphalt shingles. To soft wash your roof, your contractor may use chemicals like bleach and detergent, and tools such as brooms and brushes.
The signs that a roofer did a good job are: the roof is uniform in appearance, the roof is not sagging, and the flashing and underlayment were properly installed.
