Roofing Questions and Answers

What does a roofing contractor do?

A roofing contractor inspects, repairs and replaces roofs, including the roofing material, underlayment, flashing, vents and decking. Many also handle storm damage repairs and work with homeowners on insurance documentation.

Should I repair or replace my roof?

Repairs often make sense for isolated damage on a roof in otherwise good condition. Replacement is worth considering when the roof is near the end of its life, leaks in several places or has widespread damage. Ask contractors to show photos and explain their recommendation.

How do I choose a roofing contractor?

Get written estimates that specify materials, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, cleanup and warranties. Ask whether your state or city requires a contractor license and a permit for the job, confirm insurance, and be cautious of door-to-door offers after storms.

What affects the cost of roofing work?

Cost depends on the roof's size and pitch, the material, the number of layers to remove, decking repairs, flashing and ventilation details, access, and local permit requirements. Complex roofs with many valleys, chimneys or skylights take more labor.

How should I prepare for a roof replacement?

Move vehicles away from the driveway, protect or remove fragile items near the house and in the attic, and take down wall decor that could shake loose. Ask where dumpsters will go and how nails and debris will be cleaned up afterwards.
