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 Maple Valley. We also compare prices for popular roofing materials.
Installing a new roof is a large 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 a vital role in keeping a home safe and secure. Watch for these signs that your roof might need professional attention.
The age and material of your roof are important. Asphalt shingles, the most popular residential roofing material, typically last around 20–25 years before needing to be replaced. If your roof is approaching or past this lifespan, get a professional inspection to determine if full replacement is needed.
Leaks are a common sign of roof issues. Water leaking through worn or damage shingles often leads to water stains on insulation, walls, and ceilings, or in your attic. Don't dismiss even small leaks, as they can still cause mold and other issues.
If you can see roof decking or sheathing underneath your shingles, it means those shingles are severely curling or losing their seal and need to be replaced. Shingles should lie flat to prevent water from getting into your house.
Inspect your shingles closely from a safe ladder or while on the ground. Look for shingles that show cracks or no longer have their protective granule layer. Storms can cause roof damage over time. To keep your roof in good condition, replace any missing shingles, or ones that are openly gaping.
Roof flashing provides a weatherproof seal around vents, chimneys, valleys, and other areas that penetrate your roof. If this metal flashing is coming loose, cracked open, or worn down, it can allow leaks. Any issues with flashing should be addressed promptly.
An uneven roofline may indicate a structural issue that requires professional evaluation. Without fixing or replacing it, a sagging roof will get worse over time.
The best type of roofing material for your home in Maple Valley will depend on several factors, such as your budget and how often you want to do maintenance.
Asphalt is less costly, while options like metal are more expensive but last longer. Even if you don't need to worry about sun reflectivity, you may choose something like a clay roof for the aesthetic value and protection from fire and pests. You also might choose a material like wood for its environmentally friendly nature.
All contractors in Washington state need to register with the Department of Labor & Industries. Roofers are not required to hold any additional state-level licensure unless they work with asbestos. Make sure that you check with your local government to find out if there are any municipal-level requirements.
It generally takes between one and five days to replace a roof. Factors that could influence this timeline include the size of your roof, how easily accessible it is, and the weather in Maple Valley during the timeframe. Maple Valley tends to see a lot of rain, which might impede progress.
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. Certain materials, such as metal, provide better insulation than other types.
Roofs should normally be cleaned about once a year. You may need to clean your roof more often if there's a buildup of moss, mold, mildew, or leaves.
