The roofing material you should choose for your house in Ogden will depend on factors such as your budget and how frequently you want to do maintenance.
Slate is more expensive but is more durable, while asphalt will be cheaper up front but won't last as long. 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 Ogden's bright sunlight and save you money on cooling costs.
In Utah, roofing contractors are required to have a speciality contractor license from the Department of Commerce Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing. To obtain this license, contractors must show proof of general liability and workers' compensation insurance.
You can expect to pay about $7,658 for roof replacement in Ogden. The cost depends on how badly damaged your roof is, the accessibility of your roof, the material you choose, the size of your roof, and other factors.
Your roof does impact the energy efficiency of your home. For example, in the winter a good roof allows you to spend less energy heating your home. Some roofing materials, such as metal, provide better insulation than other types. Another way to improve energy efficiency, and potentially a great use of roof space in Ogden, is installing solar panels.
Generally, you should clean your roof about once a year. You might need to clean your roof more frequently if there's a buildup of leaves, mildew, moss, or mold.
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 some costs covered if the damage was caused by a covered weather event such as severe winter weather. You should contact your home insurance company to find out if either of these situations are applicable to you.
