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 Heber. We also compare prices for popular roofing materials.
Installing a new roof is a major home renovation that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. It's crucial to research thoroughly to find the most qualified and trustworthy roofing company for the job. Here are some key factors to consider when picking a roofer.
Though most homeowners don't think about their roof every single day, a roof plays an important role in keeping a home safe and secure. Be on the lookout for these signs that your roof might need professional attention.
Your roof's age and material are key factors. Asphalt shingles, the most common residential roofing material, typically last 20–25 years before needing to be replaced. Schedule a professional inspection if your roof is nearing or past this lifespan to determine if it needs to be replaced.
One of the most obvious signs of roof trouble is water leaks. Stains on your walls, ceilings, or insulation, or in your attic are often a sign of water seeping through damaged or worn shingles. Even small leaks should be fixed promptly, as they can facilitate mold growth and further damage to your roof.
Seeing roof deck boards or sheathing under your shingles indicates that those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal. This means it's time for replacement. Shingles need to lie flat to stop water from getting into your home.
Examine your shingles thoroughly from ground level or a sturdy ladder. Look for ones that are cracked or that are missing granules. Over time, storms can cause surface damage. To keep your roof in good condition, replace any missing shingles or ones that are openly gaping.
Roof flashing makes a watertight seal around vents, valleys, chimneys, and other areas where water can penetrate your roof. Cracked, peeling or deteriorated flashing can allow leaks. We recommend quickly addressing any problems with the roof flashing that come up.
If you notice your roofline sagging or sloping unevenly, it could signal a problem with the structure that requires further inspection by a roofer. A sagging roof deck will worsen over time if not reinforced or replaced.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Heber will depend on a number of factors, such as your budget and how often you're willing to do maintenance.
Asphalt is less costly, while materials like metal are more expensive but last longer. Clay roofing may be beneficial around Heber due to its high solar reflectivity. Roofs of this type can help you save on cooling costs during the sunny summer months. Wood roofs have better insulation than some other types, which can save you money during cold winters.
Roofing contractors in Utah are required to have a specialty contractor license through the Department of Commerce Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing. When applying for this license, contractors are required to show proof of general liability and workers' compensation insurance.
Generally, the fall or the spring is the best time of year to have your roof replaced. In Heber, we highly recommend avoiding the wintertime if you can, as cold temperatures can negatively affect the project's timeline – not to mention you may be cold while contractors are working.
Your roof can impact how energy-efficient your home is. For example, a good roof helps you spend less energy heating your home during the winter months. Certain materials (such as metal) are more energy-efficient than others. In Heber, you can reduce your carbon footprint even more by installing solar panels on your roof.
Spray foam insulation in one of the best kinds of insulation for your roof. It's longer lasting than other kinds and also seals any cracks in your roof. The disadvantage is that it costs more than other types of insulation.
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 may be easier to get costs covered if the damage is due to a covered weather event like severe winter weather. You should reach out to your home insurance company to find out if either of these situations apply to you.
