There are various signs to look for when you’re examining your roof. Look for damaged, cracked, curling, and missing shingles. This is a clear sign that you need roof repairs or possibly a full roof replacement. Check for water leaks in your ceiling and in your attic. This is usually a sign that an area of your roof is exposed. Also, take into consideration any recent storms that could have caused damage. Finally, it is important to consider the age of your roof. If you have a 20-year-old roof or older, it is very likely that your roof needs to be replaced.

What is included in roof replacement?

When you are getting a new roof, you should receive an estimate that will show you all the material that’s getting replaced. You should see shingles, flashing, underlayment, drip edge, ice and water shield, valleys, ridge vent, soffit and fascia, decking and warranties that apply. Not all roofers’ estimates are the same. Be sure to look closely at what is covered. Some roofers cut corners to appear to be the lowest bid, when, they are not covering the same amount of work or are using cheap materials.

What is the roof replacement timeline?

Before construction starts the roofer will come and inspect your home to make a few preparations. On the day of construction, the roofers should be aware of damages and have a plan to repair or replace your roof. After your new is installed, they will clean up any debris from the job site. During this process all you must do is prepare your home for construction.

There are many questions homeowners have when considering replacing their roof. It’s important to use a professional, licensed roofer that has the skills, knowledge and expertise to do the job well. When you choose the right roofer, the process tends to be easy.
