FAQs
How often should I have my roof inspected?
It’s generally recommended to schedule a professional roof inspection at least once a year, ideally in the spring or early fall. However, if your area experiences severe weather—such as coastal storms or heavy winds often found in Newport—you might consider an inspection after each major weather event. Regular inspections can help spot small issues before they escalate into larger, more expensive problems.
What types of roofing materials work best in Newport’s coastal climate?
Newport’s coastal environment can be tough on roofs due to the salty air, high humidity, and strong winds. Asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and slate are popular options because they are durable and can withstand coastal conditions. Asphalt shingles offer a good balance of affordability and resilience, while metal roofing provides exceptional longevity and energy efficiency. Slate is a premium, long-lasting option that offers both aesthetic appeal and durability.
How can I tell whether I need a roof repair or a complete replacement?
A professional assessment is the best way to decide. Generally, if the damage is limited—such as a few missing or damaged shingles—then a repair should suffice. However, if your roof is nearing the end of its expected lifespan (20–30 years for many shingles) or if there are widespread signs of wear, leaks, or structural issues, a full replacement becomes more cost-effective in the long run.
How long does a typical roof installation take?
The duration for a roof installation depends on factors like the size of your roof, the type of materials used, and local weather conditions. Most standard roofing projects, such as installing asphalt shingles on a single-family home, can be completed within a few days. Larger homes and roofing systems that involve more complex materials (like slate or certain metal panels) may take one to two weeks.
What should I expect in terms of cost for a new roof?
The cost varies widely based on your chosen material, the size and pitch of your roof, and local labor rates. Asphalt shingles are generally the most budget-friendly, while materials like metal or slate cost more upfront but can offer a longer lifespan. To get a precise quote, it’s best to request an on-site inspection. The estimate should include materials, labor, disposal of old roofing, and any additional structural work needed.
Do you offer any warranties or guarantees on your roofing work?
Yes. Most reputable roofers provide a workmanship warranty along with the manufacturer’s warranty on materials. Workmanship warranties typically range from one to ten years, depending on the company. Material warranties can last anywhere from 20 years to a lifetime, depending on the roofing type. Always ask your contractor to explain exactly what’s covered in both warranties to ensure your roof investment is protected.
