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:
Price is an important consideration when replacing your roof. Below is the typical price range to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Green. We also highlight prices for popular roofing materials.
Installing a new roof is a big home renovation that might cost tens of thousands of dollars. It's crucial to research extensively to find a highly skilled and reputable roofing company for the job. Here are some important considerations when hiring a roofer.
While the average homeowner may not spend a lot of time thinking about their roof, a roof plays a vital role in keeping a home safe and secure. Keep alert for these signs that your roof might need professional attention.
Your roof's age and material are key factors. Asphalt shingles, the most common residential roofing material, generally last about 20 to 25 years before needing replacement. Have your roof evaluated if it’s approaching or past this lifespan to determine if full replacement is needed.
Leaks are a definite sign that your roof requires repairs. Stains on insulation, walls, or ceilings, or in your attic often mean that water is getting through worn or damaged shingles. Even minor leaks should be taken care of promptly, as they can result in mold and more deterioration over time.
If you can see roof deck boards or sheathing 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 stop water from leaking into your home.
Carefully examine your shingles from the ground or a steady ladder. Look for any shingles that have cracked or are missing granules. Over time, environmental factors like storms can cause surface damage. To keep your roof in good condition, you should replace any missing shingles or ones with gaps.
Roof flashing makes a watertight seal around chimneys, valleys, vents, and other areas where water can leak into your home. Deteriorated, cracked, or peeling flashing can allow leaks. We recommend promptly resolving any problems with the roof flashing that come up.
If you notice your roofline displaying signs of sagging or uneven slopes, it could be a sign of a problem with the structure that requires professional inspection. A sagging roof deck will worsen over time if not properly supported or replaced.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Green will depend on several factors, such as 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. You also might choose a material like wood for its environmentally friendly nature.
In Oregon, roofing contractors are required to be licensed by the Oregon Construction Contractors Board. To get this license, contractors must be bonded and insured.
Roof replacement typically takes between one and five days. This timeline might be affected by factors like the weather in Green, the accessibility of your roof, and its size. Be prepared for Green's rainy weather to slow down 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. 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 roofing material and the extent of the cleaning needed. Power washing is not recommended for certain roof types, such as asphalt shingles. When soft washing your roof, your contractor may use tools such as brushes and brooms, and chemicals such as detergent and bleach.
