When it comes to materials or choosing the right Boise roofing company, replacing your roof is a big decision. At Madison Roofing, we want you to feel well-informed when it comes to investing in a full roof replacement. That’s why we’d like to provide you with some answers to some of your most frequently asked roofing questions.
Common Boise Roofing Questions
How will I know if I need a new roof?
Sometimes, the answer to this is obvious. Signs to look out for include holes, missing shingles, leaks, or unwanted pests living in your attic. Other times, you may not notice any subtle problems. If you have an older roof with curling or missing shingles, damaged flashing, and discolored ceilings, you may need a total roof replacement.
How long does a roof last?
The lifespan of your roof will depend on the quality of its materials, installation, and ventilation. That’s why there’s no specific answer to this question. Typically, a well-constructed roof will last somewhere between 12-15 years. Depending on the quality of installation and the type of roofing materials you choose, a roof can last 30 or more years.
How much does a roof replacement cost?
Every home is different. Therefore, every roof is unique. When it comes to figuring out the price of a new installation, a Boise roofing contractor will take a few key factors into consideration. These include the size of your roof, the removal of your old roof, the style, shape, materials, and other features they may need to work around. Replacing your roof is a big investment. That’s why it’s important to obtain a solid quote with a full inspection before you hire just anyone.
Should I replace my roof before I sell my home?
When it comes to real estate, first impressions are everything. This includes the aesthetic value of your roof. If you are planning to sell your home in the near future, it’s important to make sure your roof is in good shape by replacing it or having necessary repairs done. If you don’t, you may miss out on potential bids from buyers who are deterred by your home’s roof.
Furthermore, many homebuyers are on a budget. They don’t want to spend money on repairing a home they plan to buy. Replacing your roof before you sell your home will help you avoid any hassles while recouping the money you spent having it installed.
What’s the best time of year to replace my roof?
At Madison Roofing, we work year-round with summer and fall being our busiest seasons. Factors like rain, snow, and ice, however, can impact our safety and efficiency to get your roof finished. That’s why the warmer months are when most people in the Treasure Valley opt to get their roofs replaced.
Can I install my roof myself?
While there are many projects you can do yourself, installing a roof shouldn’t be one of them. Why? Thousands of Americans seriously injure themselves from falling from their home, making it one of the most dangerous home improvement projects you can do. Furthermore, you may actually violate your current roof’s warranty or install your roof incorrectly, resulting in expensive repairs down the road. It’s also good to mention that a one-person job compared to an experienced team of Boise roofers warrants a much higher risk for mismatched shingles, holes, and other issues with your roof.
What roofing material should I choose?
The shape and style of your home will determine what kind of roofing materials will be needed. This, of course, includes your individual budget as well. At Madison Roofing, we will help you pick the best quality materials and guarantee a dependable roof no matter your budget or what kind of home you have.
