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 big as roof replacement, cost is important. Below is the typical price range to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Mount Pleasant. We also compare prices for popular roofing materials.
A new roof installation is a major home renovation that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. It's crucial to research and find a highly reviewed and recommended roofing company for the job. Here are the top things to evaluate when hiring a roofer.
Though it likely doesn't cross homeowners' minds daily, your roof plays a key role in protecting your home. Be attentive to these common signs that your roof may need an inspection and repairs from a professional roofer.
Your roof's age and material are key factors. The most common residential roofing material is asphalt shingles, which typically last about 20 to 25 years before needing to be replaced. Have your roof evaluated if it’s approaching this age to determine if it needs to be replaced.
Leaks are a clear sign that your roof requires repairs. Stains on walls, ceilings, or insulation, or in your attic often mean that water is getting through deteriorating shingles. Even minor leaks should be taken care of right away, as they can cause mold and more deterioration over time.
If you can see roof decking or sheathing underneath your shingles, it means those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal, and replacement is required. Shingles should lie flat to prevent water from entering your home.
Inspect your roof shingles from the ground or a steady ladder. Look for cracking or missing granules. Storms that bring strong winds can cause surface damage over time. To keep your roof in good shape, replace any shingles that are missing or are openly gaping.
Roof flashing protects chimneys, valleys, vents, and other areas that pass through the roof. If the metal flashing is damaged, coming loose, or deteriorated, it can leak. Have any flashing problems fixed right away.
An uneven roofline may mean there's a structural issue that requires professional evaluation. Without properly addressing and resolving the issue, a sagging roof will continue to worsen.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Mount Pleasant will depend on things like your budget and how often you want to do maintenance.
Metal costs more but is more durable, while asphalt will be cheaper up front but won't last as long. In Mount Pleasant, 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 Mount Pleasant's bright sunlight and save you money on cooling costs.
In Texas, roofing contractors are not required to be licensed by the state. However, municipalities may enforce local requirements. In addition, roofers in Texas have the option to join the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas, which provides continuing education, public outreach, research and consultation for roofing and waterproofing contractors.
Roof replacement usually takes about one to five days. This timeline might be affected by factors like the weather in Mount Pleasant, the accessibility of your roof, and its size. Be prepared for Mount Pleasant's rainy weather to delay work.
The best time of year for a roof replacement is spring or fall. In the summer, Mount Pleasant's hot temperatures can impede progress.
Typically, you should clean your roof about once a year. You might need to do an extra cleaning if you notice buildup of mildew, leaves, moss, or mold.
A professional might either pressure wash or "soft wash" your roof, depending on the roofing 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 might use tools such as brushes and brooms, and chemicals such as bleach and detergent.
