Roof Replacement on the Horizon? Hire the Top Roofing Company in Eagleville!
For far too many Eagleville homeowners, Mother Nature gives notice that a new roof is required.
A lively storm blows through … and the signs emerge. A smattering of shingles in the yard. A water leak on a ceiling. Shingle granules collected in gutters, or at the end of downspouts.
The roof has broken down. The breakdown will likely only hasten, leaving all it covers vulnerable to wind, rain and snow.
Perhaps you could restore the roof yourself - if you’re fearless of heights, able to keep your balance at varied angles, and have the pertinent tools and know-how. Most homeowners, though, call a professional roofing provider.
Finding a roofer in Eagleville takes time. It’s a crowded marketplace. Personal referrals – good and bad – are highly valuable. So is taking the time to delve into a company’s longevity and track record.

Beware of roofing companies who offer a “too good to be true” deal. They might leave town the moment as your payment clears. Got a problem later with your roof? You’re on your own.
What Should I Consider About Roofing Replacement?
The first question you might have about roof installation is: Do I need a tear-off? If a roof has two layers of roof shingles, the answer is “Yes.”
Even if just one layer is present, a tear-off is recommended. Adding another layer can void the warranty on many shingle brands. Declining a tear-off also misses the chance to spot underlying issues with roof boards, flashing and other structural elements.
You’ll have to select roofing material. Metal roofs have grown in popularity in recent years. While known for lifespan and durability, the cost frightens off many Eagleville homeowners.
Most buy asphalt shingles, the most common roof covering. Its color and style choices have expanded exponentially, offering new aesthetic and longevity choices. Consumers have three general categories to choose from:
- Strip shingles, the affordable, flat-looking material that covers most Eagleville houses
- Dimensional shingles, which offer a multi-dimensional appearance and better warranty protection
- Luxury shingles, which provide a realistic portrayal of wood shake or quarried slate roofing
Some shingles carry extra benefits: resistance to algae growth. Enhanced protection against hail. Color technologies that reflect sunlight and reduce energy costs.
Choices, choices. Which is correct for you?
The answer depends on your desired aesthetics and, of course, budget. Like so many other home products, you typically get what you pay for. It’s smart to visit manufacturers’ websites, check online reviews and ratings, and converse with roofing professionals when making a decision.
Look over the warranty offered on roofing products, too. They are loaded with conditions and exclusions.
If you run into a warranty issue down the road, the reasons could be many: material defects, such as shingles cracking or splitting. Installation errors. Weather-related damage. Improper repairs. Lack of maintenance.
Which warranty applies? Is it the manufacturer’s warranty, which addresses material defects? A contractor’s warranty, which addresses installation-related issues? Or is the problem addressed only if you bought an extended warranty?
Top roofing manufacturers typically warranty their products for 20 to 50 years. The variance depends on products bought. The fine print might omit coverage for natural disasters, unauthorized repairs, or normal wear and tear.
Here again, buyer beware about hiring a Eagleville roofing company. Red flags on a contractor’s warranty include a short warranty period, limited coverage, unclear terms … or perhaps no written warranty at all. Always ask about warranty when reviewing possible vendors.
What’s a homeowner to do? First, carefully peruse all warranties before signing anything. Register warranties correctly and hold onto records. Finally, inspect your roof consistently. Don’t make Mother Nature deliver a surprising, very unwelcome message!
What is the Process of Roof Installation?
After possibly weeks, if not months, of research and vetting, a roof replacement usually takes only one or two days. Workers remove old shingles. If dubious roof decking is discovered, the material is repaired or replaced. Usually an underlayment material, or ice and water shield, is applied over roof boards.
More metalwork is involved than one might suspect. Roof flashing is often replaced, to better direct water away from critical areas such as chimneys. Roof vents are added or replaced to improve attic ventilation. Pipe boots prevent leaks around protruding pipes. Drip edges aid water flow off a roof.
A Eagleville roof replacement typically costs $20,000 to $40,000. The cost depends on the materials chosen, and size and characteristics of the roof. Either way, it’s a significant investment … making pre-project due diligence time well spent.
If a contractor offers a bargain-basement price … take a good, hard look at the company’s background, and the fine print in its documents. If they hesitate to provide documentation, consider it a huge red sign screaming “STOP!”
