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 replacing your roof. Below, we outline the average price range for replacing a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Bacliff. We also highlight price differences between common roof materials.
Roof installation is a major home improvement project that can cost upwards of twenty thousand dollars. It's crucial to research and find the most skilled and reliable roofing professional for the job. Here are some important factors to consider when choosing a roofing contractor.
Though it likely doesn't cross homeowners' minds daily, your roof plays a key role in protecting your home. Watch for these common signs that your roof may need an inspection and repairs from a professional roofer.
The age and material of your roof are key factors. Asphalt shingles, the most popular residential roofing material, typically last 20–25 years before needing to be replaced. If your roof is approaching 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 insulation, ceilings, or walls, or in your attic often mean that water is getting through worn or damaged shingles. Even minor leaks need to be taken care of right away, as they can result in mold and more deterioration over time.
If you can see roof decking or sheathing visible under your shingles, it means those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal and need to be replaced. Shingles should lie flat to prevent water from entering your house.
Inspect your shingles closely from a steady ladder or while on the ground. Look for shingles that are cracked or are missing granules. Hurricanes — or even regular storms — can cause exterior damage over time. To keep your roof in working order, replace any shingles that have become detached or are openly gaping.
Roof flashing protects vents, valleys, chimneys, 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 your roof sags or is uneven, it's time to call a professional roofer. These issues could signal a structural problem. A sagging roof that's not given adequate structural reinforcement or full replacement will worsen over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Bacliff will depend on things like your budget and how often you want to do maintenance.
Metal is more expensive but is more durable, while asphalt will be cheaper up front but will require more maintenance. In Bacliff, winters can be cold. This can make a wood roof, with its superior insulation, a better choice for you. On the other hand, clay roofs can be beneficial during the summer, as they reflect Bacliff's bright sunlight and save you money on cooling costs.
In Texas, roofing contractors are not required to be licensed by the state. However, there may be local municipal requirements. Additionally, roofers in Texas have the option to join the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas, which provides continuing education, consultation, research and public outreach for roofing and waterproofing contractors in the state.
Roof replacement usually takes around one to five days. This timeline can be affected by factors like the weather in Bacliff, the accessibility of your roof, and its size. Be prepared for Bacliff's rainy weather to extend the timeline.
You can expect to pay around $490 for roof cleaning in Bacliff. Factors like the material of your roof, the extent of the issue, the size of your roof, and how many stories your house has will all influence the total cost.
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 is due to a covered weather event like a hurricane. You should reach out to your home insurance company to find out if either of these situations are applicable to you.
The signs that a roofer did a good job are: the roof is uniform in appearance, the roofline is not sagging, and the flashing and underlayment were properly installed.
