Frequently Asked Questions About Roofing
What is the best roofing material?
The “best” roofing material depends on your specific needs, climate, budget, and architectural style. Asphalt shingles remain popular for their affordability and versatility, while metal roofing offers superior longevity and energy efficiency. Tile and slate provide distinctive aesthetics and exceptional durability but at a higher cost. During our consultation, we’ll help you weigh the pros and cons of each option to find the perfect match for your property.
How much does roofing cost?
Roofing costs vary widely based on material choice, roof size, pitch/slope, existing conditions, and local factors. On average, asphalt shingle roofs range from $5,000-$15,000 for standard homes, while premium materials like metal, tile, or slate can range from $15,000-$50,000+. We provide detailed, transparent quotes after a thorough inspection to ensure you understand all costs involved.
How long does a roof last?
Roof lifespan varies by material: asphalt shingles typically last 20-30 years, metal roofing 40-70 years, clay/concrete tile 50+ years, and slate 75-100+ years. However, climate conditions, installation quality, and maintenance significantly impact longevity. Regular inspections and prompt repairs can extend your roof’s life regardless of material.
What are signs I need a new roof?
Watch for these warning signs: shingles that are cracked, curling, or missing; granules in gutters; visible sagging; water stains on ceilings or walls; outside light visible through the attic; increasing energy bills; and any roof over 20 years old. If you notice multiple issues, it’s time for a professional inspection to determine if repair or replacement is more cost-effective.
How to choose a roofing contractor?
Select a roofing contractor who is properly licensed and insured, has strong local references, offers written warranties, maintains good standing with manufacturers (like GAF or Owens Corning certification), provides detailed written estimates, and communicates clearly. Avoid contractors who pressure you, require large upfront payments, or offer suspiciously low bids.
What roofing material is best for my climate?
In hot, sunny regions, reflective materials like metal, light-colored shingles, or tiles help reduce cooling costs. In areas with heavy snowfall, durable materials with good weight-bearing capacity like metal or premium architectural shingles are ideal. High-wind regions benefit from impact-resistant materials with proper installation techniques. Our local expertise helps us recommend the perfect solution for your specific climate conditions.
How to maintain a roof?
Maintain your roof with regular inspections (spring and fall), prompt gutter cleaning, trimming overhanging branches, addressing moss/algae growth, checking and resealing flashing, replacing damaged shingles immediately, ensuring proper attic ventilation, and scheduling professional inspections after major storms. These simple steps can significantly extend your roof’s lifespan and prevent costly repairs.
