Roof Replacement in Your Plans? Hire the Top Roofing Installer in Fussville!
For a multitude of Fussville homeowners, Mother Nature gives notice that a new roof is necessary.
A powerful storm blows through … and the signs appear. A couple shingles in the yard. A water discoloration on a ceiling. Shingle granules piled up in gutters, or at the end of downspouts.
The roof has deteriorated. The deterioration will likely only quicken, leaving everything it protects susceptible to wind, rain and snow.
Perhaps you could restore the roof yourself - if you’re unafraid of heights, able to maintain balance at different angles, and have the correct tools and know-how. Most homeowners, though, leave the job to a professional roofing installer.
Choosing a roofer in Fussville takes research. It’s a crowded marketplace. Personal referrals – good and bad – are a great place to start. So is taking the time to research a provider’s longevity and track record.

What Should I Consider About Roofing Installation?
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 passes on the opportunity to detect underlying issues with roof boards, flashing and other structural elements.
You’ll need to decide on roofing material. Metal roofs have grown in popularity in recent years. While known for lifespan and durability, the expense scares off many Fussville homeowners.
Most buy asphalt shingles, the most common roof covering. Its color and style choices have expanded exponentially, providing new aesthetic and longevity choices. Consumers have three general categories to choose from:
- Strip shingles, the affordable, flat-looking material that covers most Fussville homes
- Dimensional shingles, which offer a multi-dimensional appearance and better warranty protection
- Luxury shingles, which provide a realistic representation 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 preferred aesthetics and, of course, budget. Like so many other home products, you often get what you pay for. It’s wise to visit manufacturers’ websites, check online reviews and ratings, and converse with roofing professionals when making a decision.
Peruse the warranty provided on roofing products, too. They are loaded with conditions and exclusions.
If you run into a warranty issue at some point, 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 covers the situation? Is it the manufacturer’s warranty, which covers material defects? A contractor’s warranty, which covers installation-related issues? Or is the problem addressed only if you bought an extended warranty?
Top roofing manufacturers usually warranty their products for 20 to 50 years. The variance depends on products involved. The fine print might disregard coverage for natural disasters, unauthorized repairs, or normal wear and tear.
Once again, buyer beware about hiring a Fussville roofing company. Red flags on a company’s warranty include a short warranty period, limited coverage, unclear terms … or maybe no written warranty at all. Always inquire about warranty when screening potential 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 Replacement?
After maybe weeks, if not months, of research and vetting, a roof installation usually takes only one or two days. Workers take off old shingles. If deteriorated roof decking is identified, 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 expect. Roof flashing is often replaced, to better direct water away from critical areas such as chimneys. Roof vents are added or replaced to better ventilate attics. Pipe boots prevent leaks around protruding pipes. Drip edges aid water flow off a roof.
A Fussville roof installation typically costs $20,000 to $40,000. The price depends on the materials involved, and size and characteristics of the roof. Either way, it’s a sizable investment … making advance due diligence time well spent.
If a company 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!”
