Roof Replacement

with RAFTR roofing + Exteriors

Taking care of your roof is essential to protecting not just the value of your home, but everything of value within it – belongings, pets, family heirlooms, etc. While roofs can be repaired, even the most durable roofing materials will eventually need to be replaced.

But, how do you know when it’s time for a new roof?

Signs You Need a New Roof

Your roof is 20+ years old
Signs of damaged or missing shingles
Bald spots where roof granules have been lost
Plant life growing on your roof

Leaks in your attic

How Much Does a Roof Replacement Cost?

We get it. Roof replacements aren’t cheap and can easily cost thousands of dollars. While that might make your wallet wince, delaying a roof replacement risks extensive damage to your home and the things within it.

Many different factors influence the cost of a roof replacement. Labor is the largest cost, accounting for roughly 60% of the project budget, but other things that affect cost include:

Roof pitch
Material choice
Size
Location
Roof features (skylights, chimneys, etc.)

At RAFTR Roofing + Exteriors, our staff uses their industry expertise to guide you through the different options and find the roofing solution that best suits your needs and budget.

What to Consider Before a Roof Replacement

Replacing your roof is a major home project. Not only is it a costly investment, but it also takes a lot of time and effort. Here are several things to consider before you start:

Pick Appropriate Roofing Materials: Materials should fit into your budget and style, but they also need to fit your local climate. For example, some materials hold up better in winter weather than others.
It Will Be Noisy and Disruptive: Roof replacements can take 1-12 days. During that time, you will have people and vehicles coming and going, along with lots of noise. If this doesn’t suit your daily routine, you will need to make other living arrangements.
Find the Right Contractor: Look for a roofing contractor with a proven track record. Manufacturer designations can indicate familiarity with certain products. Verify their liability insurance and workers’ compensation. Ensure you get a written proposal detailing the work and timelines.

Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Roof Replacement?

Homeowners insurance may cover roof replacement if the damage is due to fire, heavy winds, hail, or another covered peril. However, it typically doesn’t cover damage from lack of maintenance, rodents or flooding. You should always check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage. Depending on where you may live, you might find it beneficial to purchase additional protection, such as flood insurance. At RAFTR Roofing + Exteriors, we help facilitate those conversations when you’re in the process of replacement.
