Statistics say, the average family spends approximately 33%, which is approximately $400, of its annual budget for heating and cooling leaks due to unintended cracks and gaps. Lack of residential roof maintenance may cause shingle cracks and gaps that lead to higher utility bills in the summer and winter. There are ways to get the most energy efficiency out of your shingle roof. When you have your roofing professional come inspect, ask the following questions.
Do certain areas of my roof have more damage than others?
When it’s time to repair or replace your shingle roof, it may be helpful that you know what areas of your roof have the most damage. You may have a large gap or leak in one area of your home that is causing damage to your roof in a specific area. A professional contractor can provide you with a comprehensive inspection that will provide you with the answers you need.
Will you repair or replace my old roof?
Before hiring a roofing company to replace your shingle roof, you want to find out if your existing roof can be repaired. If your damage is in one area, you may find spot repair is a better solution than a full replacement. If you decide to go with the repair option, make sure you aren’t just delaying the inevitable of a full roof replacement. Another challenge with spot repair can be color-matching your materials. Depending on the age of the roof, you may have fading due to severe weather. Your roof professional can advise you on the best options for repair or full replacement.
What kind of warranty will my new shingle roof have?
Roof repairs are not inexpensive. Plus, you never know when you will be in the position to repair or replace your roof. When your contractor begins to replace a shingle roof, that work should have a warranty. Familiarize yourself with how this coverage works, as you may need to know these details in the future. Your roof warranty is your guarantee that you will receive good work and you have security for future repairs and maintenance. You should have a longstanding warranty for your new roof, and you want to get that in writing from your roofing professional.
Who will be doing the repair?
Before your local roofing contractor begins the job, you want to know exactly who will be on top of your home doing these repairs. Does the company hire independent contractors, or do they perform the roofing services and repairs themselves? You want details on what kind of experience these individuals have. When storms blow through and cause a great deal of damage, it is not uncommon for contractors to arrive from out of town. Just remember, if you choose to use a non-local business, it may be more difficult to perform warranty repairs and maintenance. Be aware and ask questions.
