Q and A: Getting to Know the Reroofing Process

The reroofing process can be a tedious, time-consuming process. However, it’s necessary to make sure you’ve got a dependable roofing system over your head. Here are answers to the most common questions homeowners have about the reroofing process.

When do I need to reroof?

While you want to get the most mileage out of our existing roofing systems, realize that they have their limitations and life expectancies. When you find yourself in need of constant repairs, you should consider starting over with a new roof and avoid the hassle.

How do I find a contractor I can trust?

It all starts with a roofer you can trust. As the contractor will determine the success of your roofing project, always choose carefully. Ask for references and insist you see their previously completed roof repair projects to get a better gauge of their workmanship.

How long should a reroofing job last?

This is a tricky question to answer as job duration can vary from roof to roof. Factors that play into this include the size and the complexity of the roof. Small, uncomplicated jobs can last from a day or two, with complex ones even running up to a week.

What type of warranty should I get?

It pays to have a guarantee. Make it a point to look for warranties that cover both materials and labor for at least three to five years. It’s also worth taking note of the contractor’s performance guarantee.

When you know what to expect, you can make the necessary preparations. Keep these in mind and your reroofing venture will be a much smoother project. Always look for a contractor who can provide a worry-free experience.
