REPLACEMENT ROOFING
Step One
Roofing related problems never get cheaper and
smaller. They always get more expensive and bigger. Roof inspection is the first
step in figuring out the right solution.
Inspection
Roof inspection would help to ascertain whether a given
roof system is working according to its intended use
as well as identify deteriorations and
weaknesses that may be igniting roofing failures.
Signs of Damage
Inspecting the roof entails much more than looking at
the exterior. The roofing failures can affect several parts of the building and
there are many signs, both exterior and interior, that
help in identifying the problem. The main aim of
inspection is to determine if the problems are roofing
related.
Roof Repair
If the problem is smaller, then the decision is a simple as
hiring a reliable roofing professional to fix it for you or
even repair it yourself.
Roof Replacement
However, when the damage is extensive, the longevity of the existing roof is considered as well as cost of repairs and
maintenance. At a certain point, the cost of repair would
outweigh the replacement cost and therefore
replacement roofing would become the most beneficial
one.
Free Estimates
Most roofing contractors provide free inspection
services. Therefore, you have to choose the best roofing contractor for your roofing
replacement. It's essential to get at least 3 estimates for
this roofing project.
Not All Roofing
Companies Are Created
Equally
Services and prices could vary with different
contractors. Ensure that the contractor you decide to hire has skilled staff. Ask about
their insurance and warranty, and be convinced they would uphold high safety standards when working on your roof.
Look For A Company That Will Guide You
At this time, you will call your insurance agent or company and
inform them about the condition of your roof. The company would then
give you a call to set up an appointment to review the condition of your roof. It's
advisable to inform your roofing contractor about this meeting. This
review will help the insurance company to make a decision
concerning your problem.
Verification Process
In most cases, the insurance company would send a number of insurance papers to your mail
approximately six to twelve business days after the
appointment. Contact your roofing contractor who would
then review this paperwork with you to ensure that the valuations
and measurements for the replacement roofing are correct.
Final Claim Step
These papers would include what your insurance company
is paying-out for the roof replacement.
Decisions
The next stage is choosing the best roofing material and color.
Today, shingle is the most popular roofing material. Improved over the years, the shingles can last
for a very long time and are designed to be aesthetically
appealing. Other roofing materials include recycled rubber roofing materials, metal roofing and natural products like clay or
slate.
Quality Installation
In most cases, the contractor would install a water and ice barrier along the edge of the roof. While this 3-foot strip is laid underneath the roofing
materials, the remaining part of roofing would be installed
directly on plywood roof deck.
Final Touches
The metal roofing panels are usually nailed to wood
stripping while sly or slate tiles are attached in various
ways. The professional roofers would also replace the
existing vents with new quality units.
