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 provide the average price range for replacing a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Brunswick. We also highlight price differences between common roof materials.
A new roof installation is a major home renovation that can run tens of thousands of dollars. It's essential to research and find a top-rated, trusted roofing company for the job. Here are the top things to evaluate when choosing a roofer.
While most homeowners don't think about their roof every day, it plays a key role in protecting your home. Watch for these common signs that your roof may be in need of professional inspection and repair.
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 to be replaced. If your roof is approaching or past this lifespan, get a professional inspection 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 worn or damaged shingles. Even small leaks should be fixed promptly, as they can facilitate mold growth and further deteriorate your roof.
If you can see the roof deck boards underneath your shingles, it means those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal and need replacement. Shingles should lie flat to keep water from getting into your home.
Inspect your shingles thoroughly from ground level or a sturdy ladder. Look for ones that have cracks or that are missing granules. Over time, storms can cause surface damage. To keep your roof in good shape, replace any missing shingles or ones that have gaping holes.
Roof flashing creates a watertight seal around vents, valleys, chimneys, and other areas where water can penetrate your roof. Peeling, cracked, or deteriorated flashing can allow leaks. We recommend quickly addressing any problems with the roof flashing that come up.
If your roof sags or is uneven, get a roofer to evaluate it. These issues could indicate a structural problem. A sagging roof that's not properly supported or fixed will deteriorate more over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Brunswick will depend on a number of factors, such as 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.
Roofing contractors in Ohio are not required to be licensed by the state (this requirement is only for plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, electrical and hydronics contractors); however, there may be municipal requirements. You can verify a roofer's Ohio business license at this site.
Generally, it takes between one and five days to replace a roof. Variables that could influence the timeline include the size of your roof, how easily accessible it is, and what the weather is like in Brunswick during the process. .
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.
Some roof replacement costs may be covered by your home insurance if you use one of your insurance company's preferred contractors (if it has any). It might be easier to get costs covered if the damage was caused by a covered weather event like severe winter weather. You should talk to your home insurance company to find out if either of these situations are applicable to you.
The extent of the cleaning needed, as well as the material of your roof, will decide how your contractor cleans it. Power washing can be used on some roofs, but it isn't recommended for materials like asphalt tiles. "Soft washing" uses tools like brushes and brooms, plus chemicals like bleach and detergent.
