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:
Budget is an important consideration when replacing a major piece of your home like your roof. Below, see the average price range for roof replacement on a 1,500 square foot home in Bull Mountain, as well as comparisons between different popular roofing materials.
Roof installation is a large home improvement project that can cost upwards of twenty thousand dollars out of pocket. It’s essential to do your research and find the best company for the job. Here are some important considerations for selecting a roofer.
Though most homeowners don't think about their roof on a daily basis, it provides critical protections for your home. Remain alert for these common signs that your roof may need inspection and repairs from a professional roofer.
Your roof's age and material are key factors. The most popular residential roofing material is asphalt shingles, which generally last about 20 to 25 years before needing to be replaced. Schedule an inspection if your roof is reaching this age to determine if a full replacement is needed.
Leaks are a common sign of roof issues. Water leaking through damaged or worn shingles often leads to water stains on insulation, walls, and ceilings, or in your attic. Don't neglect even small leaks, as they can still lead to mold and other damage.
If you can see roof sheathing or decking under shingles, it shows that those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal. This means the shingles likely need replacement. Shingles need to lie flat to prevent water from leaking into your home.
Carefully inspect your shingles from the ground or a safely-placed ladder. Look for any shingles that are cracked or are missing granules. Over time, environmental factors like storms can cause surface damage. To keep your roof in good condition, we recommend replacing any dislodged or gaping shingles.
Roof flashing makes a watertight seal around vents, chimneys, valleys, and other areas where water can penetrate your roof. Peeling, cracked, or deteriorated flashing can allow leaks. We recommend promptly resolving any problems with the roof flashing that come up.
A structural problem can cause your roof to exhibit noticeable sagging or unevenness in slope. If you notice signs of the roof sagging, get a roofing company to inspect it. A roof deck that isn't reinforced will get worse over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Bull Mountain will depend on a number of factors, including your budget and how often you're willing to do maintenance.
Asphalt is less costly, while materials like metal are more expensive but last longer. Even if you don't need to worry about sun reflectivity, you may choose something like a clay roof for the aesthetic value and protection from fire and pests. You also might choose a material like wood for its environmentally friendly nature.
In Oregon, roofing contractors must be licensed by the Oregon Construction Contractors Board. To be licensed, contractors need to be bonded and insured.
Roof cleaning typically costs around $427 in Bull Mountain. The exact price will depend on the size of your roof, how many levels it has, its material, and how thorough the cleaning will need to be.
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.
A professional will either pressure wash or "soft wash" your roof, depending on the material and the extent of the cleaning needed. Power washing is not recommended for certain roof types like asphalt shingles. To soft wash your roof, your contractor might use chemicals like detergent and bleach, and tools such as brushes and brooms.
