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 planning is important when tackling a project as big as replacing your roof. Below, we provide the average price range for replacing a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Brentwood. We also highlight price differences between common roof materials.
A new roof installation is a major home renovation that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. It's crucial to research and find the most qualified and reputable roofing company for the job. Here are the top things to evaluate when choosing a roofer.
You may not think about your roof daily, but it protects your home in important ways. Be aware of these common signals that your roof needs to be inspected and repaired by a professional roofer.
The age and material of your roof are key factors. Asphalt shingles, the most common residential roofing material, typically last 20–25 years before needing replacement. If your roof is nearing or past this lifespan, have it evaluated to determine if full replacement is needed.
Leaks are a clear sign that your roof requires repairs. Stains on walls, insulation, or ceilings, or in your attic often mean that water is getting through damaged or worn shingles. Even small leaks should be taken care of right away, as they can cause mold and more damage over time.
If you can see roof deck boards or sheathing 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 prevent water from entering your home.
Check your roof shingles from the ground or a safe ladder. Look for cracking or missing granules. Storms that bring strong winds can cause surface damage over time. To keep your roof in good shape, replace any shingles that are no longer securely attached or have open gaps.
Roof flashing makes a watertight seal around chimneys, vents, valleys, and other areas where water can penetrate your roof. Cracked, peeling or deteriorated flashing can allow leaks. We recommend quickly addressing any flashing issues that come up.
If your roof sags or is uneven, get a roofer to evaluate it. These issues could signal a structural problem. A sagging roof that's not given adequate structural reinforcement or full replacement will deteriorate more over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Brentwood will be decided by a number of factors, including your budget and how often you're willing to do maintenance.
Asphalt is more budget-friendly, while materials like metal are more expensive but last longer. You also might choose a material like wood for its environmentally friendly nature.
New York does not require roofing contractors to hold a state-level license, however there may be local requirements. Be sure to verify that your contractor meets any local licensing requirements before signing a contract.
In general, it takes about one to five days to replace a roof. Factors that could influence this timeline include the size of your roof, how easily accessible it is, and the weather in Brentwood during the process. Brentwood tends to see a lot of rain, which might impede progress.
You can expect to pay around $382 for roof cleaning in Brentwood. Factors like the size of your roof, the material of your roof, how many stories your house has, and the extent of the issue will all influence the final price.
There isn't a color that's best for everyone, but you can find yours by weighing several factors. Your local climate is important to take into consideration because roofs that are a lighter color reflect more heat than darker roofs, which helps keep your home cooler. You should also consider what color and style your home is, as well as your personal aesthetic preferences.
Your home insurance may cover some roof replacement costs 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 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.
