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:
For a project as involved as roof replacement, price is important. Below is the usual price range to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Bensalem. We also compare costs for popular roofing materials.
Roof installation is a major home improvement project that can cost an amount in the tens of thousands range in the end. It's essential to research and find the most qualified and reputable residential roofing company for the job. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing a roofing contractor.
You may not think about your roof every single day, but it plays a vital role protecting your home. Be aware of these common signals that your roof needs to be inspected and repaired by a professional roofer.
The age and material of your roof are important. Asphalt shingles, the most common residential roofing material, typically last around 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.
Leaks are a definite sign that your roof requires repairs. Stains on walls, ceilings, or insulation, or in your attic often signal that water is getting through damaged or worn shingles. Even minor leaks should be taken care of right away, as they can lead to mold and more harm over time.
Seeing roof deck boards or sheathing under your shingles indicates 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.
Examine your shingles closely from a safe ladder or while on the ground. Look for shingles that show cracks or no longer have their protective granule layer. Storms can cause roof damage over time. To keep your roof in good shape, replace any missing shingles, or ones that have gaping holes.
Roof flashing protects chimneys, vents, valleys, and other areas that penetrate your roofing system. If the metal flashing is damaged, coming loose, or deteriorated, it can leak. Have any flashing problems fixed right away.
If you notice your roofline showing signs of sagging or unevenness, it could signal a problem with the structure that requires further inspection by a roofer. A sagging roof deck will worsen over time if not properly supported or replaced.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Bensalem will depend on factors such as your budget and how frequently you're willing to do maintenance.
Metal costs more but lasts longer, while asphalt will be cheaper up front but won't last as long. Wood roofs have better insulation than many other materials, which can be very beneficial in the winter.
Contractors in Pennsylvania do not have any state-level licensing requirements, but any contractor who completes over $5,000 worth of home improvements annually must register with the Attorney General's Office. Proof of insurance is required to register. There may also be specific municipal-level requirements.
Roof replacement usually takes around one to five days. This timeline may be affected by factors like the weather in Bensalem, the size of your roof, and how easy your roof is to access. Be prepared for Bensalem's rainy weather to extend the timeline.
The best time of year for a roof replacement is fall or spring. Otherwise, colder temperatures in the winter or hotter temperatures in the summer can get in the way of getting the job done.
Generally, your roof needs to be cleaned about once a year. Consider an extra cleaning if you notice buildup of mildew, leaves, moss, or mold.
Your home insurance may cover some roof replacement costs if you use one of your insurance company's preferred contractors (if it has any). It may be easier to get replacement or repair costs covered if the damage is due to a covered weather event such as a tornado. You should talk to your home insurance company to find out if either of these situations are applicable to you.
