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 your roof. Below is the average price range to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Doylestown. We also highlight prices for common roofing materials.
A new roof installation is a major home renovation that can run tens of thousands of dollars. It's crucial to research and find a highly reviewed and recommended roofing company for the job. Here are some important considerations for choosing a roofer.
Though most homeowners don't think about their roof every single day, a roof plays an important role in keeping a home safe and secure. Be on the lookout for these signs that your roof might need professional attention.
Your roof's age and material are key factors. The most popular residential roofing material is asphalt shingles, which normally last about 20 to 25 years before requiring replacement. Schedule an inspection if your roof is approaching this age to determine if a full replacement is needed.
Leaks are a clear sign that your roof needs repair. Stains on insulation, walls, or ceilings, or in your attic often signal that water is getting through damaged or worn shingles. Even minor leaks need to be taken care of right away, as they can result in mold and more damage over time.
If you can see roof deck boards or sheathing 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.
Check your roof shingles from the ground or a safe ladder. Look for cracking or missing granules. Storms that bring strong winds can cause surface damage over time. To maintain your roof, replace any shingles that have come loose or are openly gaping.
Roof flashing creates a barrier against the elements around valleys, vents, chimneys, and other areas that penetrate your 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.
If your roof shows signs of sagging or unevenness, schedule a professional inspection. These issues could signal a structural problem. A sagging roof that's not given adequate structural reinforcement or full replacement will deteriorate more over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Doylestown will be decided by several factors, such as your budget and how often you want 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.
Contractors in Pennsylvania do not have any state-level licensing requirements, but all contractors who complete more than $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.
In general, it takes between one and five days to replace a roof. Factors that could influence the timeline include the accessibility of your roof, its size, and the weather in Doylestown during the timeframe. Doylestown tends to see a lot of rain, which might impede progress.
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. Some materials (like metal) are more energy-efficient than others.
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 some costs covered if the damage was caused by a covered weather event like a tornado. You should reach out to your home insurance company to find out if either of these situations are applicable to you.
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 may use chemicals like bleach and detergent, and tools such as brooms and brushes.
