Roofing installations can be a very complex, confusing, and overwhelming process for a homeowner. This results in a lot of worry, hesitation, and questions. Here at Mr. Roofing, we continually get asked questions about residential roofing and we're always happy to provide answers to keep our customers informed.
Below, we'll cover in detail five of the top questions that we get asked. This will help you better understand your roofing project and what to expect so that you can simply sit back and enjoy our craftsmanship.
#1: What Are the Signs That I Need a New Roof?
This is by far the most common roofing question that our team receives. Many homeowners eventually face a time when they feel like they may need a new roof replacement. However, many are also unsure when it's actually time for this service. While there are many subtle signs that you need a new roof, some of the clearest indicators include:
- Aged, Dry, and Crumbling Asphalt Shingles
- Severe Water Leaks and Stains Inside the Home
- Gaps in Coverage or Missing Roofing Materials
#2: How Long Does a Roof Last?
You'll want to make sure that your new roofing installation is a worthwhile investment. When it comes to roofing, each material has a slightly different longevity and will differ in pricing. In general, asphalt shingles will last 15-20 years, metal roofing 50+ years, and flat roofing 20-25 years.
#3: Why Hire a Roofing Professional?
Hiring a skilled roofing contractor is essential for your installation as it ensures that every part of the roofing project will be correct. Trained, insured, and certified roofing installers work hard to provide error-free craftsmanship and many times offer warranty protection for their labor.
#4: Which Roofing Material is Right for My Home?
With a wide variety of roofing materials on the market, it can be hard to choose the right one for your home. Asphalt shingles are a standard option and are ideal for homeowners who need affordable and effective roofing. Metal roofing is a bit more expensive but comes with exceptional longevity and durability. Flat roofing is only used by homes without a slope.
#5: How Much Does a New Roof Cost?
There is no size fits all answer to this question. Your roofing costs will vary based on what materials you use, how big your roof is, what local disposal fees are, and how complex your roof is to work on.
