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 big as roof replacement, cost matters. Below is the typical price range to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Fulton. We also compare costs for common roofing materials.
Installing a new roof is a large home improvement project that can cost tens of thousands of dollars when all is said and done. It's essential to research and find a top quality and trusted local roofing contractor for the job. Here are some important factors to consider when choosing a roofing contractor.
While most homeowners don't think about their roof every day, it plays a key role in protecting your home. Look out 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 typically last 20–25 years before needing to be replaced. Schedule an inspection if your roof is approaching this age to determine if it needs to be replaced.
Leaks are a common sign of roof issues. Water leaking through worn or damage shingles often leads to water stains on ceilings, insulation, and walls, or in your attic. Don't dismiss even small leaks, as leaks of any size can lead to mold and other 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.
Inspect your roof shingles from the ground or a steady ladder. Look for signs of damage 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 have come loose or are openly gaping.
Roof flashing creates a watertight seal around vents, chimneys, valleys, and other areas where water can leak into your home. Deteriorated, cracked, or peeling flashing can allow leaks. We recommend quickly addressing any flashing issues that come up.
If you notice your roofline displaying signs of sagging or uneven slopes, it could signal a problem with the structure that requires further inspection by a roofer. A sagging roof deck will worsen over time if not properly supported or replaced.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Fulton will depend on factors such as your budget and how frequently 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 roofs have better insulation than many other materials, which can be very beneficial in the winter.
Roofing contractors do not require a license from the state of New York, but there may be local requirements. Be sure to verify that your contractor meets any local licensing requirements before signing a contract.
The best time of year to have your roof replaced is spring or fall. In the winter, Fulton's cold temperatures can impede progress.
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. Some materials (like metal) are more energy-efficient than others.
Depending on which contractor you use, some roof replacement costs may be covered by your home insurance. Some insurance companies might have preferred contractors. It might also be easier to have costs covered if the damage was caused by a covered weather event, such as an ice storm. Speak with your home insurance company to find out if they have preferred contractors, and what costs are covered.
