How to save money on roof installation in Marple
Replacing your roof can be very expensive, but the following measures can help you reduce costs.
Check your homeowners insurance: Read through your homeowners insurance policy to figure out what, if any, roof repair costs are covered. Depending on the cause of damage, such as storms or fallen trees, your insurance may help pay for the repair cost.
Compare quotes from multiple sources: Request quotes from several highly-rated roofing contractors in Marple. Compare their rates, services and materials they use to ensure you get the best repairs.
Conduct routine roof maintenance: Once your roof repairs are complete, focus on regular inspections and maintenance. This will allow you to spot and prevent future issues. Missing a minor issue can escalate into more serious and expensive damage.
Invest in preventive measures: Preventative measures, such as putting in extra insulation or improving ventilation, lower energy bills and the need for future repairs.
Schedule roofing services during good weather if possible: Schedule your roof installation during the milder seasons. Bad weather may postpone work and drive up costs. Roofers also tend to offer discounts during off-peak periods. Scheduling repairs during dry weather in an off-peak season can save you money.
What are the signs that you need a new roof?
A certified roofer can examine and replace or repair your roof. You may need to contact an expert if you spot the following:
Water in your attic: Your attic's insulation should be dry, and you shouldn't see any roof gaps. Gaps indicate an issue that likely needs repairs.
Damaged shingles: Damaged shingles let moisture into your roof, which can cause structural problems through rotting in the rafters and decking.
Discoloration: Dark discoloration or moisture stains on the undersides of your decking or rafters means your roof probably has a leak and needs repairs.
Mold or mildew: Powdery mildew and mold are signs of roof leaks. These can damage your health and the structure of your home, so you should rectify them as soon as possible.
Rust: Rust on your flashing or fasteners undermine your home's weatherproofing and structural soundness.
Visible sagging: Roof joists, sheathing and rafters can sag due to dense clay tiles, mechanical equipment, concrete pavers, excess insulation or overwhelmed drainage. Visible sagging is a warning sign of potential collapse, so get a roof inspection promptly to determine the issue.
What are common roofing issues?
Your roofing system is going to experience issues at some point. Routine inspections and roof maintenance are vital in catching issues before they escalate and lead to expensive repairs.
A few common roofing issues to look for during an inspection include the following.
Damaged shingles
Shingle damage is one of the most frequent roofing problems. While asphalt shingles usually last 20–30 years, exposure to extreme weather and ultraviolet radiation erodes them over time, resulting in cracking or lifting. When shingles become broken or missing, moisture can seep into your roofing system, which can result in leaks, mold growth and deterioration within 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. When flashing hasn't been installed properly or has deteriorated over time, water can leak into your home. Signs of flashing failure include leaks coming from joints, moisture stains, drips from ceilings that align with flashing seams, sagging areas, or peeling paint.
Leaks
Leaks may develop in areas such as seams, protrusions and flashing around valleys, chimneys, vent pipes and skylights where roof planes meet. These watertight joints may shift and allow water in due to expansion and contraction from temperature changes and shrinkage of building materials over time. Fixing leaks early prevents more expensive damage down the line.
Poor insulation
Attics with poor insulation cause uncomfortable temperatures in your home, which causes issues such as high energy bills, leaks, ice dams, mold and damaged rafters. Proper insulation is more energy efficient and can lead to significant energy savings year-round.
Standing water
Pooling water occurs when water can't drain from your roof properly due to debris buildup or low areas. This causes remaining water after storms. Your roof can get saturated and begin to rot if not removed within 48 hours. It also puts major 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?
Installation quality impacts how long your roof will last the most, but other factors such as your climate, roof material and maintenance frequency will also play a part.
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 usually last 15–20 years. Properly maintained wood shingles or shake roofs can last about 20–25 years. However, they may be vulnerable to mold, insect damage and rot.
Slate, metal and concrete are some of the most durable roofing materials. Metal typically lasts 40–70 years or more. Concrete roofs last around 50 years, but sometimes last over a century with proper maintenance. Slate roofs can last for over 100 years.
