FAQs
What are the signs that my roof needs to be replaced?
Common signs that your roof may need to be replaced include missing or cracked shingles, frequent leaks, sagging roof deck, shingles that are curling or buckling, excessive granule loss from shingles, and noticeable wear and tear around roof valleys and chimneys. If your roof is more than 20 years old, it might be time to consider a replacement.
How long does a roof replacement take?
The duration of a roof replacement can vary based on the size and complexity of the roof, weather conditions, and the materials being used. On average, a roof replacement can take anywhere from one to three days. Larger or more complex roofs might take longer. Our team in Birchwood will provide a more accurate timeline once we assess your specific situation.
What types of roofing materials are available for replacement?
Several roofing materials are available for replacement, including asphalt shingles, metal roofing, tiles (clay or concrete), wood shakes, and synthetic materials like rubber or plastic. Each material has its own set of benefits, costs, and aesthetic appeal. Our experts in Birchwood can help you choose the best material based on your budget, home style, and durability needs.
Will my home insurance cover the cost of roof replacement?
Home insurance coverage for roof replacement can vary based on your policy and the cause of the damage. Damage caused by natural disasters, such as storms or hail, is often covered. However, damage due to regular wear and tear or neglect may not be covered. It's important to review your insurance policy and consult with your insurance provider to understand your coverage.
How should I prepare my home for a roof replacement?
Preparing your home for a roof replacement involves several steps: 1) Clear the area around your house to ensure easy access for workers and equipment. 2) Move vehicles away from the driveway or close proximity. 3) Remove any fragile items from walls and shelves inside the house due to vibrations. 4) Cover items in your attic with tarps or drop cloths to protect them from dust and debris. 5) Inform neighbors about the upcoming work to prepare them for the noise and possible disruptions.
What warranties are available for roof replacement?
Warranties for roof replacements often include manufacturer warranties for the roofing materials and workmanship warranties from the contractor. Manufacturer warranties can vary in length from 20 to 50 years, depending on the material. Workmanship warranties cover the labor and installation process and usually range from 1 to 10 years. It's important to discuss the specific warranties with your roofing contractor to understand what is covered and for how long.
