Are you thinking you need a new roof?
Signs You Need a Roof Replacement
You need to consider whether it is a new roof that you require, or whether fixing the existing one makes more sense. A few things to consider include:
-
It’s been 15+ years since the roof was replaced
-
Water is leaking into your home or business
-
The roof sags
-
Shingles are visibly cracked or damaged
Things to Consider When Replacing a Roof
Do any of those signs sound familiar to you? If so, then there’s a good chance you’re in need of a roof replacement.
1. Have you considered roofing material options
There are a number of types of roofing materials that can be used when replacing your roof.
Shingles made of asphalt and slate are the most popular option, but many people are also turning to metal roofs. Be sure to consider all your options before you make a decision for your home. For more information on options of shingles, please visit GAF website, one of the industry leaders in this field.
2. Make sure you get multiple quotes
It’s best to shop around and compare your options before you decide on the best company for you.
Look at online reviews, and ask for references from people you know before you make your final decision.
3. You get what you pay for
You may wish to go with the lowest quote, but have you verified their work and reviews?
Make sure that you are not getting a lower quality roof, which will end up costing you more.
4. Will your contractor remove the old materials?
Make sure to ask if your contractor will dispose of all garbage (including the old roof), when installing the new roof for your house. Make sure that the quote includes the disposal, to minimize any surprises in the end.
