Roof Replacement on the Horizon? Hire the Premier Roofing Provider in Dheinsville!
For far too many Dheinsville homeowners, Mother Nature delivers notice that a new roof is required.
A lively storm blows through … and the signs pop up. 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 accelerate, leaving all it protects susceptible to wind, rain and snow.
Perhaps you could replace the roof yourself - if you’re unafraid of heights, able to keep your balance at varied angles, and have the right tools and know-how. Most homeowners, though, leave the job to a professional roofing provider.
Choosing a roofer in Dheinsville takes work. It’s a crowded marketplace. Personal referrals – good and bad – are invaluable. So is taking the time to research a company’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 recommended. Adding another layer can cancel the warranty on many shingle brands. Declining a tear-off also passes on the chance to detect underlying issues with roof boards, flashing and other structural elements.
You’ll have to choose roofing material. Metal roofs have grown in popularity in recent years. While known for lifespan and durability, the expense frightens off many Dheinsville homeowners.
Most select 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 Dheinsville houses
- 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 offer extra benefits: resistance to algae growth. Enhanced protection against hail. Color technologies that reflect sunlight and reduce energy costs.
Choices, choices. Which is the best 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 smart 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 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 addresses material defects? A contractor’s warranty, which addresses installation-related issues? Or is the problem covered only if you bought an extended warranty?
Top roofing manufacturers usually warranty their products for 20 to 50 years. The variance depends on products purchased. The fine print might disregard coverage for natural disasters, unauthorized repairs, or normal wear and tear.
Here again, buyer beware about hiring a Dheinsville roofing contractor. Red flags on a provider’s warranty could be a short warranty period, limited coverage, unclear terms … or maybe no written warranty at all. Always ask about warranty when checking potential vendors.
What’s a homeowner to do? First, thoroughly peruse all warranties before signing anything. Register warranties properly 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 possibly weeks, if not months, of research and vetting, a roof installation usually takes only one or two days. Workers remove old shingles. If deteriorated roof decking is found, 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 Dheinsville roof installation typically costs $20,000 to $40,000. The price depends on the materials used, and size and characteristics of the roof. Either way, it’s a significant investment … making advance 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!”
