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:
Price is a major consideration when replacing your roof. Below is the average price range to replace a roof on a 1,500 square foot home in Bountiful. We also compare prices for common roofing materials.
A new roof installation is a large home renovation that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. It's essential to research and find a highly reviewed and recommended roofing company for the job. Here are some important considerations for selecting a roofer.
Though most homeowners don't think about their roof every single day, a roof plays a vital role in keeping a home safe and secure. Keep alert for these signs that your roof might need professional attention.
The age and material of your roof are important. Asphalt shingles, the most common roofing material for homes, normally last about 20 to 25 years. If your roof is nearing or past this lifespan, get it inspected to see if complete replacement is necessary.
One of the clearest signs of a roof problem is leaking. Stains on walls, ceilings, and insulation — or in your attic — usually indicate that water is seeping through damaged or worn shingles. Don't ignore small leaks, because even these can lead to mold growth and roof damage.
Visible roof decking or sheathing under your shingles indicates that those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal. This means it's time for replacement. Shingles should lie flat to stop water from entering your home.
Carefully examine your shingles from the ground or a safely-placed ladder. Look for any shingles that are cracked or are missing granules. Over time, environmental factors like storms can cause surface damage. To keep your roof in good shape, we recommend replacing any dislodged or gaping shingles.
Roof flashing makes a watertight seal around valleys, vents, chimneys, and other areas where water can penetrate your roof. Deteriorated, cracked, or peeling flashing can allow leaks. We recommend promptly resolving any problems with the roof flashing that come up.
An uneven roofline may mean there's a structural issue that requires professional attention. Without properly addressing and resolving the issue, a sagging roof will continue to worsen.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Bountiful will depend on things like your budget and how frequently you're willing to do maintenance.
Metal costs more but lasts longer, while asphalt will be cheaper up front but will require more maintenance. Wood roofs have better insulation than many other materials, which can be very beneficial in the winter. On the other hand, clay roofs can be beneficial during the summer, as they reflect Bountiful's bright sunlight and save you money on cooling costs.
Roofing contractors in Utah are required to have a specialty contractor license via the Department of Commerce Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing. To apply for this license, contractors must show proof of general liability and workers' compensation insurance.
Roof replacement usually takes about one to five days. This timeline may be influenced by factors like the weather in Bountiful, the size of your roof, and how easy your roof is to access. .
Roof cleaning generally costs around $411 in Bountiful. The total cost will depend on the size of your roof, its material, how many levels it has, and how severe the problem is.
Roof cleaning should be undertaken about once a year. You may need to clean your roof more often if there's a buildup of moss, mildew, mold, or leaves.
