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:
Price 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 Sunland Park. We also highlight prices for common roofing materials.
Installing a new roof is a major home improvement project that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. It’s crucial to do your research and find the most qualified company for the job. Here are some important considerations for selecting a roofer.
Though it likely doesn't cross homeowners' minds daily, your roof plays a key role in protecting your home. Be attentive to 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 popular residential roofing material is asphalt shingles, which generally last 20–25 years before needing to be replaced. Schedule an inspection if your roof is approaching this age to determine if a full replacement is needed.
One of the most obvious signs of a roof issue is leaking. Stains on walls, insulation, and ceilings — or in your attic — usually mean that water is seeping through deteriorating shingles. Don't ignore small leaks, because even these can lead to mold growth and roof deterioration.
If you can see roof decking or sheathing beneath your shingles, it means those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal, and replacement is required. Shingles should lie flat to prevent water from entering your house.
Carefully inspect your shingles from the ground or a safe ladder. Look for any shingles that are cracked or are missing granules. Over time, environmental factors like storms can cause surface damage. To keep your roof in good repair, we recommend replacing any missing shingles or ones with gaps.
Roof flashing creates a barrier against the elements around chimneys, valleys, vents, and other areas that penetrate the 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 mean there's a structural issue that requires professional evaluation. Without properly addressing and resolving the issue, a sagging roof will continue deteriorating.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Sunland Park will depend on things like 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. In Sunland Park, winters can be cold. This can make a wood roof, with its superior insulation, a better choice for you. On the other hand, clay roofs can be beneficial during the summer, as they reflect Sunland Park's bright sunlight and save you money on cooling costs.
In New Mexico, roofing contractors must have a license from the Construction Industries Division of the state Regulation and Licensing Department. Contractors can also join the New Mexico Roofing Contractors Association (NMRCA), although this is not mandatory. The NMRCA works to enforce high standards for roofers, and to connect contractors with peers, governmental agencies and the public.
It generally takes about one to five days to replace a roof. Factors that could influence the timeline include the size of your roof, how easily accessible it is, and the weather in Sunland Park during the process. .
The best time of year for a roof replacement is spring or fall. In the summer, Sunland Park's hot temperatures can impede progress.
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 costs covered if the damage is due to a covered weather event such as a severe storm. You should contact your home insurance company to learn whether either of these situations apply to you.
