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 is an important consideration when replacing something as big as your roof. Below, see the average price range for roof replacement on a 1,500 square foot home in Madison, as well as price differences between different popular roofing 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.
Though most homeowners don't think about their roof every day, it plays a vital protective role for your home. Remain alert for these common signs that your roof may need inspection and repairs from a professional roofer.
The age and material of your roof are important. 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.
One of the clearest signs of roof trouble is water leaks. Stains on your insulation, walls, or ceilings, or in your attic are often a sign of water seeping through worn or damaged shingles. Even small leaks should not be ignored, as they can facilitate mold growth and further deteriorate your roof.
If you can see roof decking or sheathing visible under your shingles, it means those shingles are curling substantially or losing their seal, and replacement is required. Shingles should 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 repair, we recommend replacing any shingles that are no longer attached properly or that have gaps.
Roof flashing creates a barrier against the elements around valleys, chimneys, vents, and other areas that penetrate the roof. If this metal flashing is cracked, peeling away from the surface, or otherwise deteriorated, it can allow leaks. Any issues with flashing should be addressed promptly.
An uneven roofline may indicate a structural issue that requires professional evaluation. Without properly addressing and resolving the issue, a sagging roof will get worse over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Madison will depend on several factors, such as your budget and how often you're willing to do maintenance.
Asphalt is more budget-friendly, while materials like metal cost more but last longer. You also might choose a material like wood for its environmentally friendly nature.
Ohio does not require roofing contractors to be licensed by the state (this requirement is only for hydronics, HVAC, plumbing, refrigeration and electrical contractors); however, there may be local 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 this timeline include the size of your roof, how easily accessible it is, and the weather in Madison during the timeframe. .
Generally, the fall or the spring is the best time of year to have your roof replaced. Having work done in the summer or winter runs the risk of hot or cold weather getting in the way.
How soiled your roof is, in addition to what it's made of, will determine 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" is done with tools like brooms and brushes, and employs chemicals like detergent and bleach.
