Roof Replacement in Your Plans? Hire the Top Roofing Company in Druecker!
For a multitude of Druecker homeowners, Mother Nature delivers notice that a new roof is needed.
A lively storm blows through … and the signs pop up. A few shingles in the yard. A water leak on a ceiling. Shingle granules piled up in gutters, or at the end of downspouts.
The roof has broken down. The breakdown will likely only quicken, 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 maintain balance at different angles, and have the correct tools and know-how. Most homeowners, though, hire a professional roofing contractor.
Finding a roofer in Druecker takes work. It’s a crowded marketplace. Personal referrals – good and bad – are highly valuable. So is taking the time to research a contractor’s longevity and track record.

What Should I Consider About Roofing Installation?
The first question you might have pertaining to roof replacement is: Do I require 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 advisable. Adding another layer can void the warranty on many shingle brands. Skipping a tear-off also passes on the chance to detect 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 scares off many Druecker homeowners.
Most select asphalt shingles, the most typical roof covering. Its color and style choices have grown 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 Druecker homes
- 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 offer 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 often get what you pay for. It’s smart to visit manufacturers’ websites, check online reviews and ratings, and consult 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 numerous: 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 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 purchased. The fine print might omit coverage for natural disasters, unauthorized repairs, or normal wear and tear.
Here again, buyer beware about hiring a Druecker roofing provider. Red flags on a contractor’s warranty could be a short warranty period, limited coverage, unclear terms … or maybe 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 properly and hold onto records. Finally, examine your roof frequently. Don’t make Mother Nature deliver a surprising, highly unwelcome message!
What is the Process of Roof Replacement?
After possibly weeks, if not months, of research and vetting, a roof replacement 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 Druecker roof replacement typically costs $20,000 to $40,000. The cost depends on the materials used, and size and characteristics of the roof. Either way, it’s a sizable investment … making pre-project due diligence time well spent.
If a vendor 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!”
