How to save money on roof installation in Plano
Roof replacement will cost you, but there are things that can help you save money on the service.
Check your homeowners insurance: Review your home insurance policy to determine whether it will help pay for a roofing company. Depending on the cause of damage, such as storms or fallen trees, insurance may cover the cost of the repairs.
Compare quotes from multiple sources: Compare the prices and services offered by several roofing contractors in Plano. This helps you make an educated decision.
Conduct routine roof maintenance: Once your roof repairs are done, focus on regular inspections and maintenance. This will allow you to identify and prevent future issues. Overlooking a minor issue can worsen into more serious and expensive damage.
Invest in preventive measures: You can invest in preventive measures such as putting in extra insulation or improving ventilation to reduce future repair needs and energy bills.
Schedule roofing services during good weather if possible: Schedule your roof repairs during the milder seasons. Bad weather may impede work and drive up costs. Contractors also tend to offer better pricing and discounts during slower periods. Do your best to schedule repairs for a period of dry weather during an off-peak season.
What are the signs that you need a new roof?
An expert roofer can inspect and repair or replace your roof. The signs that indicate you may need to call in a roof repair pro include the following:
Water in your attic: Your attic's insulation should be dry, and you shouldn't see any visible roof gaps. Gaps indicate an issue likely needing repairs.
Curled shingles: Damaged shingles, whether curled, missing or broken, can let moisture seep into your roof. This can cause the decking and rafters to rot, leading to potential structural problems.
Discoloration: Dark discoloration on the undersides of your rafters or decking point to leaking, which will need to be repaired.
Mildew or mold Powdery mildew and mold is never a good sign. These can indicate roof leaks, lead to health problems and damage the structure of your home.
Rust: Severe rust can lead to warping, curling or holes in your flashing or fasteners. This weakens weatherproofing and the integrity of your home.
Visible sagging: Roof rafters, sheathing and joists can sag due to dense clay tiles, concrete pavers, mechanical equipment, excess insulation or overwhelmed drainage. Visible sagging is a warning that your roof may collapse, so get a roof inspection promptly to find the issue.
What are common roofing issues?
Your roof will inevitably experience issues at some point, even with sufficient maintenance. You can get ahead of major repairs through routine inspections and maintenance.
Look out for the following problems during your inspection.
Damaged shingles
Damaged shingles is one of the most common roofing problems. While asphalt shingles generally last 20–30 years, exposure to harsh weather and ultraviolet radiation erodes them over time, causing cracking or lifting. Damaged shingles let moisture seep in, potentially causing leaks, structural decay and mold.
Flashing failures
Flashing is the metal sheets around the dormers, skylights, vents, valleys, joints and chimneys of a roof. Its main function is to block rainwater, snowmelt and runoff from entering the home by redirecting it away from vulnerable seams and transition points. Improperly installed or damaged flashing can create a common pathway for water to leak into your home. Check for flashing failure when you see signs of sagging areas, moisture stains, peeling paint, drips from ceilings that align with flashing seams, or leaks coming from joints.
Leaks
Roof leaks occur when sealed joints, such as seams and flashing, shift and open gaps for water intrusion. Identifying and fixing leaks early is vital to avoid mold, mildew and decay.
Poor insulation
Insufficient insulation in your attic can lead to pricey roofing problems and extreme temperatures in your home. Proper insulation boosts energy efficiency and can lead to substantial energy savings year-round, especially in Plano with higher energy costs on average.
Standing water
Standing water frequently happens when your roof's decking has low spots and accumulated debris. This can result in pooled water after storms, which can be problematic. If present for 48 hours or more, it can result in moisture saturation and rot in roof components. It also places considerable weight stress and could indicate a need to replace your roof surface to fix the slope or drainage. Remove debris regularly and make sure there's proper drainage to prevent these issues.
How long are roofs supposed to last?
Several factors, such as your climate, roof material, maintenance frequency and quality of installation impact your roof's life expectancy. Installation quality is the most important factor in determining how long your roof will last.
Generally, asphalt roofs have an average life span of 20–30 years. Architectural shingles can last longer, up to 25–30 years, in comparison with traditional three-tab shingles, which generally last around 15–20 years. Shake roofs, wood shingles and slate last 20–25 years on average, but they tend to be vulnerable to mold, rot and insect damage.
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 more than a century.
