Roofing companies get tons of questions every year about a roof replacement. This is why the roofing experts at Home Re-Nu have put together this blog going over some of the most frequently asked questions.
When should I replace my roof?
Roof replacements are usually a big investment depending on the roofing companies you are working with. It is also not something you should hold off on. Here are a few of the signs that you need a new roof.
- There is moisture in the attic or a major leak.
- Your chimney or masonry is cracked
- Shingles are broken or missing.
- Shingles are discolored or old.
- You notice signs of rot, moss, or mold.
- Your flashing is damaged.
The best thing to do is to get your roof inspected professionally if you have any doubts about the integrity of your roof. A trusted roofing inspector will be able to estimate everything you will need to get fixed or if a roofing replacement is needed.
How do I choose the right roofing companies?
Make sure you’re vetting all of your options thoroughly. Make sure to check reviews, and local listings to ensure you are not running into any roofing scams. Meet with at least three top choices before making a decision as well. The best way to narrow down your options is to ask friends and family for recommendations, then narrow down those options using the better business bureau, reviews, and talking to previous customers. Lastly, get quotes and meet with at least three roofing companies before making your final decision.
Do I need to prepare anything before my roof installation?
If you need to replace your roof, there are some steps that should be taken. You should remove loose items from your walls or on shelves, as a roof installation can cause slight movement which may cause items to fall. Clear your driveway and area around your house as much as possible. Since roofing materials can fall onto your driveway, you may want to move your car.
