What is the cost of installing a new roof in El Mirage?
When you're ready to replace your roof, you should take time to select the best material. Each type of roofing has a different cost, durability and longevity. Metal, concrete and slate are among the most resilient roofing materials available.
In El Mirage, installing a metal roof costs $19,493, on average, for a 2,000-square-foot home. Nationally, the average cost for a metal roof is around $17,521 for a 2,000-square-foot home*.
*Local costs were determined using RSMeans project estimates combined with local labor costs from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and cost data from home improvement stores. We also interviewed homeowners from around the country to validate local costs.
How to save money on roof installation in El Mirage
Replacing your roof can be very expensive, but the following measures can help you reduce costs.
Check your homeowners insurance: Consult your home insurance policy to determine whether it will cover the work that needs to be done. Depending on the reason for the damage, such as fallen branches or storms, your insurance may cover the cost of the roof replacement.
Compare quotes from multiple sources: Request quotes from at least three roofing companies in El Mirage. Compare their rates, services and availability to make sure you get the best repairs.
Conduct routine roof maintenance: After completing your roof installation, you should focus on regular inspections and maintenance on your roof. The prompt identification and fixing of minor issues can help prevent them from escalating into pricey problems.
Invest in preventive measures: Preventative measures, such as adding extra insulation or improving ventilation, lower energy costs and the need for future repairs.
Schedule roofing services during good weather if possible: Schedule new roof installation during the off-season or less busy times. Contractors may offer discounts during these periods. You should also avoid scheduling work during the rainy season, as bad weather may increase the total cost.
What are the signs that you need a new roof?
Contact a roof repair contractor 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: Missing, curled or broken shingles let moisture into the roof, which can cause the decking and rafters to rot.
Discoloration: You likely have a leak if you find dark discoloration on the undersides of your rafters or decking.
Mildew or mold: Black mold and powdery mildew point to roof leaks. These can damage your health and home, so you should rectify them as soon as possible.
Rust: Severe rust can result in curling, warping or holes in your flashing or fasteners. This undermines weatherproofing and the integrity of your home.
Visible sagging: Too much weight stress on roof joists, rafters and sheathing can cause visible sagging, a warning sign of a potential collapse. Reasons for extra weight can be dense clay tiles, mechanical equipment, concrete pavers, overwhelmed drainage or excess insulation. Moisture and severely warped sheathing can also compromise the roof's ability to drain and shed precipitation, leading to ponding water, which makes the problem worse.
What are common roofing issues?
Your home’s roofing system is going to experience issues at some point. Proactive visual inspections and roof maintenance are vital in catching problems before they worsen and lead to major repairs.
The most common roofing issues you may come across while performing your own inspection include the following.
Damaged shingles
A common roofing problem is broken, cracked or worn shingles. The typical life span of asphalt shingles is about 20–30 years. However, exposure to harsh weather, wind, rain and ultraviolet radiation over time can lead to erosion and cracking or lifting. Warped, broken or missing shingles can lead to leaks, mold and structural decay by letting in moisture.
Flashing failures
Flashing—the metal sheets around a roof's vents, joints and dormers—redirects rain runoff away from vulnerable seams and transition points. Improperly fitted or worn flashing can become a common entry point for water into your home. Signs of flashing failure include peeling paint, moisture stains, sagging areas, leaks coming from joints, or drips from ceilings that align with flashing seams.
Leaks
Roof leaks develop when sealed joints, such as seams and flashing, shift and open gaps for water intrusion. Mending leaks as soon as possible prevents more costly damage down the line.
Poor insulation
Poor attic insulation can lead to extreme temperatures in your home, resulting in higher energy costs, leaks, damaged rafters, ice dams and mold growth. Upgrading to proper insulation for the local climate can yield substantial energy savings.
Standing water
Pooling water usually happens when your roof's decking has low areas and debris buildup. Your roof can start rotting if the water is left for more than 48 hours. It also places considerable weight stress and could indicate a need to replace your roof surface due to improper slope or drainage. Ensure proper drainage and prevent the accumulation of debris on your roof to avoid these problems.
How long are roofs supposed to last?
A roof's life span depends on roof material, maintenance, climate and installation quality, with proper installation being most important.
The average life span of asphalt shingles is 20–30 years. Architectural shingles are on the higher end at 25–30 years, while traditional three-tab shingles generally last 15–20 years. Properly maintained wood shingles or shake roofs can last about 20–25 years. However, they are susceptible to insect damage, rot and mold.
Most metal roofs last 40–70 years or more. Concrete roofs generally last 50 years or up to a century with proper maintenance. Slate roofs can last for over a century.
