Generally, roofs last about 20 years, depending on how well you care for and maintain them. As a result, you will eventually need to prioritize a roof replacement. Knowing this, homeowners should have a basic idea on how the process is done. The first step is to look at different roof types and see which material makes the most sense for your home’s needs, keeping in mind that you need a strong, sturdy roof to protect your family and your home. To get the job underway, you need a qualified roofing expert who specializes in roof replacement. Be sure to learn about the warranty as your roof can last for years and even decades when properly cared for, so be sure to protect your investment. Below, we at Nickerson Roofing have compiled a brief list on what you should know about a roof replacement service.
Roofing Materials List
All roof materials have their own advantages, whether you opt for synthetic, cedar shakes and shingles or flat roof systems. Be sure to research in-depth about all your options, especially those ideal for your climate to ensure you select the best one for you. Offered in different thicknesses, cedar shakes and shingles are cut from cedar. These provide a natural and organic aesthetic as this roofing type of material matches up well with traditional home designs. Metal roofs offer a range of benefits, as well if a TPO system might be right for your low pitch roof.
Questions to Ask when Hiring a Roofing Contractor
Unless the whole roofing system is installed properly, no matter what kind of roofing materials you choose, they will not be effective. The installation process makes all the difference when it comes to the efficiency, condition, and importantly, the longevity of your roof. Be sure to ask around from personal contacts if they have any referrals, if not do some research on a reputable company. Compile a list of potential roofing contractors with experience, reviews, testimonials, and even what BBB has on record. Be sure to visit their websites and make sure they have qualifications that meat your standards. From there, you can narrow down the search based on pricing and availability.
Review Roof Warranty
You should know what your contractors can offer you before you sign, as a roof installation is not a small project and see if they have other incentives as well. So you can keep your roof alive without breaking the bank, be sure to understand what your warranty covers as well as everything you need to do keep the warranty valid.
