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 North Haledon. We also outline price differences between popular roof materials.
Installing a new roof is a big home renovation that may cost tens of thousands of dollars. It's crucial to research thoroughly to find a highly skilled and reputable roofing company for the job. Here are the main things to consider when choosing a roofer.
Though it likely doesn't cross homeowners' minds daily, your roof plays a key role in protecting your home. Watch for these common signs that your roof may be in need of professional inspection and repair.
Your roof's age and material are both important. The most common residential roofing material is asphalt shingles, which generally last about 20 to 25 years before requiring replacement. Schedule an inspection if your roof is reaching this age to determine if it needs to be replaced.
One of the clearest signs of a roof problem is leaking. Stains on walls, ceilings, and insulation — or in your attic — usually mean that water is seeping through damaged or worn shingles. Don't ignore small leaks, because even these can encourage mold growth and roof damage.
Seeing roof deck boards or sheathing under your shingles indicates 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 entering your home.
Check your shingles thoroughly from ground level or a steady ladder. Look for ones that are cracked or that are missing granules. Over time, storms can cause surface damage. To keep your roof in repair, replace any missing shingles or ones that are openly gaping.
Roof flashing creates a barrier against the elements around vents, chimneys, valleys, and other areas that penetrate the roof. If this metal flashing is cracked, peeling away from the surface, or otherwise deteriorated, it can allow leaks. Problems with roof flashing should be addressed promptly.
If your roof sags or is uneven, schedule a professional inspection. These issues could signal a structural problem. A sagging roof that's not reinforced or replaced will worsen over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in North Haledon will depend on things like your budget and how often you're willing 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.
You can expect to pay about $382 for roof cleaning in North Haledon. Factors like how many stories your house has, the size of your roof, the extent of the issue, and the material of your roof will all affect the total cost.
Your roof can absolutely impact how energy-efficient your home is. For example, a good roof helps you spend less energy heating your home during the winter months. Certain materials (such as metal) are more energy-efficient than others.
Typically, you need to clean your roof about once a year. If there are a lot of trees on your property, your roof may need an extra cleaning in the fall. You might also need to do an extra cleaning if there's a buildup of mildew, moss, leaves, or mold.
The extent of the cleaning needed, as well as the material of your roof, 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" is done with tools like brooms and brushes, and employs chemicals like bleach and detergent.
