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 you need to tackle 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 Nacogdoches. We also outline price differences between common roof materials.
Installing a new roof is a major home renovation that might cost over ten thousand dollars total. It's crucial to research extensively to find the most qualified and trustworthy roofing company for the job. Here are some important considerations when hiring a roofer.
You may not think about your roof daily, but it plays a vital role protecting your home. Be aware of these common signals that your roof needs to be evaluated and repaired by a professional roofer.
Your roof's age and material are both important. The most popular residential roofing material is asphalt shingles, which normally last around 20–25 years before requiring replacement. Have your roof evaluated if it’s reaching this age to determine if a full replacement is needed.
Leaks are a clear sign that your roof requires repairs. Stains on walls, insulation, or ceilings, or in your attic often signal that water is getting through deteriorating shingles. Even small leaks should be taken care of promptly, as they can lead to mold and more damage over time.
Seeing roof deck boards or sheathing under your shingles is a sign that those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal. This means the shingles likely need replacement. Shingles need to lie flat to stop water from entering your home.
Examine your shingles closely from a steady ladder or while on the ground. Look for shingles that show cracks or are missing granules. Storms can cause roof damage over time. To keep your roof in working order, replace any missing shingles, or ones that have gaping holes.
Metal flashing on your roof creates a watertight barrier around chimneys, valleys, vents, and other areas where water can leak in. If the flashing is becoming damaged, loose, or worn down, it may leak. Promptly address any flashing issues.
A structural problem can cause your roof to display sagging or uneven slopes. If you notice unevenness, schedule a professional inspection. An unsupported roof deck will get worse over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Nacogdoches will depend on factors such as 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 will require more maintenance. In Nacogdoches, 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 Nacogdoches' 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. 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.
Generally, the fall or the spring is the best time of year to have your roof replaced. In the summer, Nacogdoches' hot temperatures can slow down the project.
Your roof absolutely impacts the energy efficiency of your home. For example, in the summer a good roof helps you cool your home more efficiently. Certain roofing materials, such as metal, provide superior insulation compared to other types. Another way to improve energy efficiency, and potentially a great use of roof space in Nacogdoches, is installing solar panels.
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 detergent and bleach, and tools such as brooms and brushes.
