roofing services

While your roof should last at least one-third of your lifetime, that doesn’t mean you won’t run into some issues during that time.

And when that happens, you may have some questions come up about roofing services and what you need to do. Whether you need a replacement, a cleaning, or a routine roof cleaning service, we can answer your questions.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the answers to some commonly asked questions about roofing services! Keep reading to learn more.

When Do I Need to Replace My Roof?

It is crucial to know when to replace your roof. This can prevent any unnecessary damage done to your roof and more money spent in the long term.

However, you should not need roof replacements often at all. You should only need a roofing service for a roof replacement every 20 to 50 years depending on the material of your roof. 

If it is properly cared for, you should be able to get a few more years out of it as well. That’s why having routine maintenance is also important. 

What Signs Are There That It Is Time to Replace the Roof?

If you notice any of the following, it is a sign that it may be time to replace your roof. A roof service company would be able to help with it if you notice any of these things:

  • Buckling shingles
  • Lack of granules
  • Missing shingles
  • Roof sagging 
  • Blistering shingles 
  • Finding granules in the gutter

They’ll be able to best assess your roof’s condition and recommend solutions for it. 

Is Insurance Usually Needed With a Roof Service Company?

As with most service companies, there should always be insurance, so it is crucial to know if the company you are going to work with has insurance.

The worker’s compensation and liability insurance can protect you as the homeowner in case there is an accident on your property. This will leave you off the hook for something happening when it isn’t your fault.

What’s the Best Roofing Material to Go With?

Other than choosing your roofing contractor, you’ll also want to choose what roofing material you should go with for your home.

However, there are many factors to this decision. The size of your home, your budget, your location, and a few other factors go into this.

For instance, if you are on a tight budget, asphalt is a great option. If a budget doesn’t matter as much to you, a metal or slate roof may be the way to go.

Before choosing a material for your roof, you need to know your budget.

What Is the Average Cost of a Roof Replacement?

Unfortunately, replacing a roof is not cheap. The good news is that you shouldn’t have to do it often, though!

The average cost to replace a roof is around $15,000. Obviously, this price changes based on the size of the home and how much roof coverage there is for the house. It will also change based on the material chosen.

How Long Does Roof Replacement Take?

The first thing you have to do is get a scheduled estimate for the roofing service. After that, you’ll schedule the roof replacement itself.

Most roof replacements can be replaced in one day, however, there are other factors that it may depend on. The size of the roof, the complexity of the project, and the weather will determine the length of the project.

The material chosen also depicts how long it will take, as slate tiles have to be installed one tile at a time, and it can take much longer to replace.

What Are the Other Types of Roof Services Besides Roof Replacement?

Roofing service companies don’t just deal with roof replacements, though! There are many services that a roof repair service can do.

Inspections

Every now and then, it is important to have a roof inspection done to ensure that there is nothing wrong up there. This can prevent costly fixes in the future.

While you may feel that you can inspect your roof yourself, a professional knows exactly what to look for and won’t miss something crucial during the inspection. 

Storm Damage Repair

One reason that you may need to repair your roof is due to storm damage. Many roofing companies can help you repair your roof after a storm wreaks havoc on it!

Roof Maintenance

Just as inspections are necessary, routine maintenance like cleanings and power washing may be done by a roofing service. You just have to ask!

What Do I Do If My Roof Is Leaking?

The first thing you want to do with a leaking roof is contain the water. Make sure it stays in one place so it doesn’t ruin things inside the house.

Next, you need to find the source of the leak. You’ll want to tarp where the leak is as well as take photos for your insurance company to submit an insurance claim. Once you do that, be sure to call a roofing service for repairs.
