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 involved as roof replacement, price matters. Below is the usual price range to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Binghamton. We also compare costs for popular roofing materials.
Roof installation is a major home improvement project that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. It’s crucial to do your research and find the top-rated company for the job. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a roofer.
You may not think about your roof every single day, but it protects your home in important ways. Look out for these common signals that your roof needs to be inspected and repaired by a professional roofer.
Your roof's age and material are key factors. Asphalt shingles, the most popular residential roofing material, typically last around 20–25 years before needing to be replaced. Have your roof evaluated if it’s approaching or past this lifespan to determine if full replacement is needed.
One of the most obvious signs of roof trouble is water leaks. Stains on your walls, insulation, or ceilings, or in your attic are often a sign of water seeping through damaged or worn shingles. Even small leaks can be an issue, as they can lead to mold growth and further damage to your roof.
If you can see roof decking or sheathing beneath your shingles, it means those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal and need to be replaced. Shingles should lie flat to keep water from leaking into your home.
Inspect your roof shingles from the ground or a safe ladder. Look for cracking or loss of protective granule coating. Storms that bring strong winds can cause surface damage over time. To maintain your roof, replace any shingles that are missing or have open gaps.
Metal flashing on your roof seals off vents, valleys, chimneys, and other areas where water can penetrate the roofing system. If the flashing is developing cracks, peeling away, or deteriorating over time, it may leak. Promptly take care of any flashing issues.
An uneven roofline may mean there's a structural issue that requires professional evaluation. Without fixing or replacing it, a sagging roof will continue to worsen.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Binghamton will depend on factors such as your budget and how often you're willing to do maintenance.
Metal costs more but is more durable, 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.
Roofing contractors do not require a license from the state of New York, however there may be local requirements. Be sure to verify that your contractor meets any local licensing requirements before signing a contract.
Generally, the fall or the spring is the best time of year to have your roof replaced. In Binghamton, 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.
Your roof can absolutely impact the energy efficiency of your home. 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.
The best color for your roof depends on several factors like the style and color of your house and the local climate. For instance, if you have a Spanish style home, then you'll most likely want a terracotta roof to match the style. Also, those in a hot climate may want to avoid darker colors because they absorb heat, which makes cooling your home more difficult.
After your roof has been installed, check the roof's appearance. If parts are sagging or the roof isn't uniform, this is a sign that the roof was not installed well. Also, check that the flashing wasn't reused. Flashing is important to prevent leaks and water damage to your home. Lastly, you'll want to see that your contractor placed an underlayment between the shingles and sheathing of your house. This helps prevent leaks and extends your roof's lifespan.
