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 roof replacement. Below, we outline the average price range for replacing a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Dryden. We also highlight price differences between popular roof materials.
Roof installation is a major home improvement project that can cost a significant amount. It’s crucial to do your research and find the most qualified company for the job. Here are some important considerations for 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 checked and repaired by a professional roofer.
Your roof's age and material are key factors. Asphalt shingles, the most popular residential roofing material, normally last around 20–25 years before needing to be replaced. Have your roof evaluated if it’s nearing or past this lifespan to determine if it needs to be replaced.
Leaks are a clear sign that your roof needs repair. Stains on ceilings, insulation, or walls, or in your attic often signal that water is getting through damaged or worn shingles. Even small leaks should be taken care of promptly, as they can cause mold and more damage over time.
If you can see roof deck boards or sheathing under shingles, it shows that those shingles are curling or losing their seal. This means it's time for replacement. Shingles need to lie flat to prevent water from leaking into your home.
Carefully inspect your shingles from the ground or a safe ladder. Look for any shingles that are cracked or have lost their protective granule coating. Over time, environmental factors like storms can cause surface damage. To keep your roof in good condition, we recommend replacing any shingles that are no longer attached properly or that have gaps.
Roof flashing creates a watertight seal around vents, valleys, chimneys, and other areas where water can penetrate your roof. Cracked, peeling or deteriorated flashing can allow leaks. We recommend promptly resolving any problems with the roof flashing that come up.
An uneven roofline may be a sign of 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 Dryden 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 will require more maintenance. 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. Make sure that you verify that your contractor meets any local licensing requirements before signing a contract.
Generally, spring or autumn is the best time of year to have your roof replaced. In Dryden, 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 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.
There isn't one single best color for everyone, but you can find yours by thinking about several factors. Your local climate is important to take into consideration because roofs that are a lighter color reflect more heat than darker roofs, therefore keeping your home cooler. You should also consider what color and style your home is, as well as your personal aesthetic preferences.
Usually, you need to clean your roof about once a year. Consider an extra cleaning if there's a buildup of mildew, moss, leaves, or mold.
