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:
Budgeting is important when tackling a project as big as roof replacement. Below, we provide the average price range for replacing a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Paris. We also highlight price differences between common roof materials.
A new roof installation is a large home renovation that can cost over twenty thousand dollars total. It's essential to research and find the most qualified and reputable roofing company for the job. Here are the top things to evaluate when hiring a roofer.
You may not think about your roof daily, but it protects your home in important ways. Be aware of these common signals that your roof needs to be checked and repaired by 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 requiring replacement. Schedule an inspection if your roof is approaching this age to determine if it needs to be replaced.
One of the most obvious signs of roof trouble is water leaks. Stains on your ceilings, walls, or insulation, or in your attic likely indicate water seeping through damaged or worn shingles. Even small leaks can be an issue, as they can cause mold growth and further damage your roof.
If you can see roof deck boards or sheathing under shingles, it means that those shingles are curling or losing their seal. This means it's time for replacement. Shingles need to lie flat to prevent water from getting into your home.
Check your roof shingles from the ground or a safe ladder. Look for signs of damage 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.
Metal flashing on your roof creates a watertight barrier around valleys, chimneys, vents, and other areas where water can leak in. If the flashing is developing cracks, peeling away, or deteriorating over time, it may leak. Promptly address any flashing issues.
A structural problem can lead to roof sagging or uneven slopes. If you notice unevenness, get a roofing company to inspect it. An improperly supported roof deck will only get worse without proper support.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Paris will depend on things like your budget and how frequently you want to do maintenance.
Metal is more expensive but is more durable, while asphalt will be cheaper up front but won't last as long. In Paris, winters can be cold. This can make a wood roof, with its superior insulation, a better choice for you.
In Tennessee, roofing contractors must be licensed by the Department of Commerce and Insurance if they work on any projects valued at over $25,000. For projects between $3,000 and $25,000, contractors in Robertson, Hamilton, Marion, Davidson, Bradley, Shelby, Rutherford, Haywood and Knox counties need to obtain a Home Improvement license.
Generally, the fall or the spring is the best time of year to have your roof replaced. In the summer, Paris' hot temperatures can slow down the project.
Your roof can impact how energy-efficient your home is. For example, a good roof allows you to use less energy to cool your home during the summer. Some materials (like metal) are more energy-efficient than others.
After your roof has been installed, check the roof's appearance. If parts are sagging or the roof isn't uniform, this is a sign that the roof was not installed properly. Also, check that the flashing wasn't reused. Flashing is important to prevent leaks and water damage to your home. Lastly, you'll want to see that your contractor placed an underlayment between the shingles and sheathing of your house. This helps prevent leaks and extends the life of your roof.
