How much does a roof replacement cost?
Typical U.S. re-roof cost runs from about $5,500 to $15,000 or more for an asphalt shingle roof, and metal or tile can run well above that. Size, pitch, layers to remove, decking repairs and material all move the price. Look at each written quote line by line, note what is included, and compare at least a few before you decide.
How do I know my roof needs replacing and not just patching?
From the ground, look for curling or missing shingles, bald spots where granules wore off, sagging lines, and dark streaks along the eaves. In the attic, check for daylight or damp decking. If the damage is spread across much of the roof or the roof is near the end of its life, a full replacement usually makes more sense. A provider can confirm it.
Will my insurance pay for a new roof after a storm?
Some policies may cover sudden damage from hail or wind, but age-related wear is often excluded. Check your policy for deductibles and roof-specific terms, and ask your insurer what they need. Providers in our network can often help document damage with photos and a written scope, which can support a claim. The insurer makes the final decision.
What should I do after a hailstorm or heavy thunderstorm?
Stay off the roof. Walk the yard and look for dented gutters, bruised shingles in the grass, and dimpled vents or flashing. Take dated photos from the ground. Check ceilings for new stains. Then request an estimate so a provider can inspect it safely. Keep any receipts for temporary protection, since your insurer may ask for them.
How long does a new roof installation take?
Many asphalt shingle roofs on an average home take a few days, though weather, roof size, complex rooflines and decking repairs can stretch that. In our humid, stormy climate, a provider may pause for rain. Ask each roofer for a schedule range in the written quote, and ask how they protect landscaping and your property while they work.
How do I care for a new roof so it lasts?
Replace, then maintain. Clear gutters each spring and fall, trim branches that scrape the surface, and check from the ground after big storms. Keep attic vents open so heat and humidity can escape. Do not pressure wash shingles. Moss or algae streaks are worth asking a roofer about, since the wrong cleaner can harm the surface.
How do I compare roofing company quotes?
Line them up side by side. Check the material brand and type, tear-off or overlay, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, cleanup, permit handling and warranty terms from the provider and manufacturer. A much lower price can mean a skipped step. Take your time. Quotes without pressure are the goal, and you can say no to any of them.
Is there any cost or obligation to request an estimate?
