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:
Cost is an important consideration when replacing something as big as your roof. Below, see the average price range for roof replacement on a 1,500 square foot home in Hybla Valley, as well as price differences between different popular roofing materials.
Roof installation is a major home improvement project that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. It’s essential to do your research and find the best company for the job. Here are some important considerations for choosing 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. Keep alert for these signs that your roof might need professional attention.
Your roof's age and material are key factors. The most common residential roofing material is asphalt shingles, which normally last about 20 to 25 years before needing to be replaced. Schedule an inspection if your roof is reaching this age to determine if it needs to be replaced.
One of the clearest signs of roof trouble is water leaks. Stains on your insulation, walls, or ceilings, or in your attic likely indicate water seeping through damaged or worn shingles. Even small leaks should not be ignored, as they can lead to mold growth and further deteriorate your roof.
If you can see roof sheathing or decking under shingles, it shows that those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal. This means the shingles likely need replacement. Shingles should lie flat to stop water from getting into your home.
Check your roof shingles from the ground or a steady ladder. Look for signs of damage or loss of protective granule coating. Storms that bring strong winds can cause surface damage over time. To maintain your roof, replace any shingles that have come loose or have open gaps.
Roof flashing makes a watertight seal around valleys, vents, chimneys, and other areas where water can leak into your home. Cracked, peeling or deteriorated flashing can allow leaks. We recommend quickly addressing any problems with the roof flashing that come up.
An uneven roofline may be a sign of a structural issue that requires professional attention. Without fixing or replacing it, a sagging roof will worsen over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Hybla Valley will depend on factors such as your budget and how frequently you want to do maintenance.
Metal is more expensive 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.
In Virginia, roofing contractors are required to obtain a license from the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation. Specifically, they must obtain a license under the roofing specialty. The license class (A, B or C) indicates the monetary value of the projects that a contractor can work on.
Generally, the fall or the spring is the best time of year to have your roof replaced. If you try to schedule your project during the summer, it may get delayed if there is hot weather in Hybla Valley.
Your roof can absolutely impact the energy efficiency of your home. For example, a good roof allows you to use less energy to cool your home during the summer. Some materials (like metal) are more energy-efficient than others.
Usually, your roof needs to be cleaned about once a year. Your roof may need an extra cleaning if there's a buildup of moss, leaves, mildew, or mold.
After your roof installation, check the roof's appearance. If it looks uneven or not uniform, this is a sign that the roof was not installed well. Also, make sure the flashing wasn't reused. Flashing is important to prevent leaks and water damage to your home. Lastly, you'll want to check that your contractor placed an underlayment between the shingles and sheathing of your house. This helps prevent leaks and extends the life of your roof.
