How to save money on roof installation in Carrollton
Replacing your roof will typically be expensive, but there are ways you can save money on the service.
Check your homeowners insurance: Read through your homeowners insurance policy to determine what, if any, roof repair costs are covered. Depending on the reason for damage, such as storms or fallen trees, insurance may cover the repair cost.
Compare quotes from multiple sources: Carefully consider factors like pricing, availability, materials, qualifications and services before deciding on a roofing contractor in Carrollton.
Conduct routine roof maintenance: Routine inspections and maintenance lets you spot minor issues that can become more serious and expensive ones.
Invest in preventive measures: You can save on energy costs and future repairs by investing in preventive measures, such as putting in more insulation or improving ventilation.
Schedule roofing services during good weather if possible: Roofers may offer discounts during slower periods. Avoid scheduling work during the rainy season as inclement weather may increase the cost.
What are the signs that you need a new roof?
Call in a roofer if you notice the following signs:
Water in your attic: If your attic insulation is wet or you spot roof gaps, your roof likely needs repairs.
Damaged shingles: Broken, missing or curled shingles let moisture into your roof. Your decking and rafters can rot due to the moisture, resulting in potential structural problems.
Discoloration: If you find dark discoloration or moisture stains on the undersides of your decking or rafters, you likely have a leak and need to replace your roof.
Mold or mildew Powdery mildew and mold on your roof can cause health issues and structural damage. These can signal roof leaks, which should be fixed as soon as possible.
Rust: Severe rust can cause curling, warping or holes in your flashing or fasteners. This undermines weatherproofing and structural soundness.
Visible sagging: Extra weight stress on roof joists, sheathing and rafters can cause sagging, a warning sign of a potential collapse. Reasons for extra weight can be excess insulation, concrete pavers, dense clay tiles, overwhelmed drainage or mechanical equipment. Moisture and severely warped sheathing can also compromise the roof's ability to drain and shed precipitation, leading to standing water, which exacerbates the problem.
What are common roofing issues?
Your home’s roofing system will inevitably have problems at some point. Proactive visual inspections and roof maintenance are vital in catching problems before they worsen and lead to costly repairs.
Some typical roofing issues you may encounter while conducting your own visual inspection include the following.
Damaged shingles
A major roofing problem is broken, cracked or worn shingles. Exposure to harsh weather can erode your roofing material quicker and crack or lift the shingles. When shingles are curled, broken or missing, moisture can seep into your roofing system, which can result in mold growth, leaks and deterioration within your home’s structure.
Flashing failures
Flashing—the metal sheets around a roof's vents, joints and dormers—redirects rain runoff away from vulnerable seams and transition points. However, if the flashing isn’t properly installed or has worn down over time, it can become a common entry point for water into your home. Warning signs of flashing failure include sagging areas, drips from ceilings that align with flashing seams, moisture stains, peeling paint, or leaks coming from joints.
Leaks
Common leak sites are seams and flashing around chimneys, skylights and roof penetrations. Weather and aging materials cause these joints to shift, allowing water in. Mending leaks early helps avoid more substantial damage down the line.
Poor insulation
Poor insulation in your attic can result in your heating and cold air seeping out through your roof. This leads to higher energy costs, leaks, mold growth, ice dams and damaged rafters. Ensuring your attic is properly insulated for Carrollton's weather is a must for energy efficiency.
Standing water
Standing water usually happens because of accumulated debris or low spots in your roof's decking. Your roof can start rotting due to moisture saturation if the water isn't removed within 48 hours. It also places major weight stress on your roof. Standing water can signal a need to replace the roof surface due to a slope or bad drainage. Ensure proper drainage and prevent the accumulation of debris on your roof to avoid these issues.
How long are roofs supposed to last?
Installation quality impacts how long your roof will last the most, but other factors such as your maintenance frequency, roof material and climate will also play a role.
Most asphalt shingle roofs have an average life span of 20–30 years. Architectural shingles can last longer, up to 25–30 years, compared to traditional three-tab shingles, which usually last around 15–20 years. Properly maintained wood shingles or shake roofs can last approximately 20–25 years. However, they may be vulnerable to insect damage, mold and rot.
The life expectancy of metal roofs varies based on the metal used, but most can last for 40–70 years or more. Concrete roofs generally last 50 years or up to a century with proper maintenance. Slate roofs can last for 100 years or more.
