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:
Budgeting is important when tackling a project as big as replacing your roof. Below, we outline the average price range for replacing a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Sweden. We also outline price differences between popular roof materials.
Installing a new roof is a big home renovation that might cost over ten thousand dollars total when finished. It's essential to research extensively to find a highly skilled and reputable roofing company for the job. Here are the main things to consider when hiring 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 evaluated and repaired by a professional roofer.
The age and material of your roof are key factors. Asphalt shingles, the most popular residential roofing material, typically last 20–25 years before needing to be replaced. If your roof is nearing or past this lifespan, get a professional inspection to determine if full replacement is needed.
One of the clearest signs of a roof issue is leaking. Stains on walls, ceilings, and insulation — 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 the roof decking or sheathing material underneath 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.
Carefully examine your shingles from the ground or a safe ladder. Look for any shingles that have cracks or are missing granules. Over time, environmental factors like storms can cause surface damage. To keep your roof in good repair, you should replace any shingles that are no longer attached properly or that have gaps.
Metal flashing on your roof seals off chimneys, vents, valleys, 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 address any flashing issues.
A structural problem can cause your roof to sag or slope unevenly. If you notice signs of the roof sagging, get a roofing company to inspect it. An improperly supported roof deck will only get worse without proper support.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Sweden will be determined by several factors, including your budget and how often you want to do maintenance.
Asphalt is less costly, 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, but there may be local requirements. You should verify that your contractor meets any local licensing requirements before signing a contract.
Roof cleaning costs about $482 in Sweden. The exact price will depend on the size of your roof, its material, how many levels it has, and how thorough the cleaning will need to be.
Generally, spring or autumn is the best time of year to have your roof replaced. In Sweden, 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.
Generally, you should clean your roof about once a year. You might want to clean your roof more frequently if there's a buildup of moss, leaves, mold, or mildew.
