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 Brookhaven. We also compare prices for popular roofing materials.
Roof installation is a big home improvement project that can cost upwards of twenty thousand dollars. It's essential to research and find a top quality and trusted local roofing contractor for the job. Here are some key considerations when choosing a roofing contractor.
Though it likely doesn't cross homeowners' minds daily, your roof plays a key role in protecting your home. Look out for these common signs that your roof may be in need of professional inspection and repair.
Your roof's age and material are key factors. The most popular residential roofing material is asphalt shingles, which normally last 20–25 years before needing to be replaced. Have your roof evaluated if it’s approaching this age to determine if a full replacement is needed.
Leaks are a definite sign that your roof requires repairs. Stains on walls, insulation, or ceilings, or in your attic often mean that water is getting through damaged or worn shingles. Even small leaks should be taken care of right away, as they can cause mold and more damage over time.
If you can see roof sheathing or decking under shingles, it means that those shingles are considerably curling or losing their seal. This means the shingles likely need replacement. Shingles should lie flat to prevent water from leaking into your home.
Carefully examine 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 missing shingles or ones with gaps.
Roof flashing provides a watertight seal around valleys, vents, chimneys, 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.
If you notice your roofline showing signs of sagging or unevenness, it could be a sign of a problem with the structure that requires further inspection by a roofer. A sagging roof deck will worsen over time if not given proper reinforcement or replaced entirely.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Brookhaven will be decided by several factors, including your budget and how often you want 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.
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. Contractors must show proof of insurance when registering. Your municipality may also have its own local requirements.
Roof replacement normally takes around one to five days. This timeline can be influenced by factors like the weather in Brookhaven, the size of your roof, and how easy your roof is to access. Be prepared for Brookhaven's rainy weather to impede progress.
The best time of year to have your roof replaced 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.
Spray foam insulation in one of the best kinds of insulation. It's longer lasting than other kinds and also seals any cracks in your roof. The downside is that it's more expensive than other types of insulation.
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 might be easier to get costs covered if the damage is due to a covered weather event like severe winter weather. You should contact your home insurance company to learn whether either of these situations are applicable to you.
