How to save money on roof installation in Hamilton
Roof installation can be very expensive. Here are some ways you can cut down on the cost.
Check your homeowners insurance: Consult your home insurance policy to determine whether it will cover the roofers work. Depending on the cause of damage, such as fallen branches or storms, your insurance may cover the cost.
Compare quotes from multiple sources: Get quotes from several roofers in Hamilton. Review their rates, services and materials they use to make sure you get the best repairs.
Conduct routine roof maintenance: Perform regular roof inspections and maintenance after getting a new roof installed. Spotting minor problems early prevents more serious damage requiring pricey repairs down the road.
Invest in preventive measures: Preventative measures, such as putting in extra insulation or optimizing ventilation, lower energy costs and the need for future repairs.
Schedule roofing services during good weather if possible: Contractors may be more willing to negotiate prices during off-peak periods. Avoid booking repairs during the wet season as bad weather may raise the cost.
What are the signs that you need a new roof?
You may need to contact a roofer if you notice the following signs:
Water in your attic: The insulation in your attic should be dry, and you shouldn't see any roof gaps. Gaps indicate an issue likely needing repairs. In icy climates, check for ice dams along eaves, which is a sign there's poor insulation or heat loss through the roof deck. A lot of icicles or icy gutters during winter also indicate a problem.
Curled shingles: Shingles that are broken, curled or missing let moisture into your roof, which can cause structural issues through rotting in the decking and rafters.
Discoloration: If you find dark stains on the undersides of your rafters or decking, you likely have a leak and need to replace your roof.
Mold or mildew Powdery mildew and mold is never a good sign. These can signify roof leaks, lead to health problems and damage your house's structure.
Rust: Rust from flashing or fasteners indicate deterioration, and rust and corrosion undermine weatherproofing and structural soundness.
Visible sagging: Roof rafters, joists and sheathing can sag due to mechanical equipment, concrete pavers, excess insulation, overwhelmed drainage or dense clay tiles. Visible sagging is a warning sign of potential collapse, so get a roof inspection promptly to find the issue.
What are common roofing issues?
Your roofing system is going to have issues at some point. Carrying out routine inspections allows you to identify problems before your roof needs expensive repairs.
Look out for the following issues during your visual inspection.
Damaged shingles
A major roofing problem is damaged shingles. Exposure to harsh weather can erode your roofing material faster and crack or lift the shingles. When shingles are curled, broken or missing, moisture can seep into your roof, which can result in mold growth, leaks and decay in your home’s structure.
Flashing failures
Flashing is the metal sheets around the seams and transition points of your roof. Its purpose is to protect these parts of your roof from rainwater and runoff. Improperly installed or worn flashing can create a common entry point for water into your home. Warning signs of flashing failure include sagging areas, peeling paint, leaks coming from joints, drips from ceilings that align with flashing seams, or moisture stains.
Leaks
Leaks commonly occur around seams and flashing around chimneys, roof penetrations and skylights. The elements and aging materials cause these joints to shift, allowing water intrusion. Early identification and repair stop mold growth and decay from happening.
Poor insulation
Inadequate attic insulation can lead to pricey roofing problems and extreme temperatures in your home. Upgrading to proper insulation suitable for the local climate can yield substantial energy savings.
Standing water
Pooling water usually happens because of debris buildup or dips in your roof's decking. This causes remaining water after storms. Your roof can get saturated and begin to rot if not cleared within 48 hours. It also adds major weight stress on your roof. Standing water can signal a need to replace the roof surface to fix the slope or drainage. Clear debris frequently and ensure proper drainage to prevent these problems.
How long are roofs supposed to last?
Your roofing material, climate, quality of installation and maintenance frequency impact your roof's life expectancy. Installation quality plays the biggest role. An improperly installed roof may have gaps or other flaws that decrease its life expectancy.
The average life span of asphalt shingles is 20–30 years. Architectural shingles are on the higher end at 25–30 years, and traditional three-tab shingles generally last 15–20 years. Well-maintained shake roofs or wood shingles can last approximately 20–25 years. However, they are prone to rot, insect damage and mold.
The life expectancy of metal roofs depends on the type of metal used, but most can last for 40–70 years or more. Concrete roofs can last 50 years or more and sometimes last over a century with proper maintenance. A slate roof can last for over a century if properly maintained.
