We’ve been working with homeowners for more than 25 years, and we’ve learned a lot during that time. We know you’re concerned about being told you need a new roof when all you really need are some targeted repairs.
At Countryside Roofing, you’ll talk to the owner when you call with questions or to get a quote. We’ll survey your roof, tell you precisely what we find, and give you an honest estimate with options, including repair (if possible) and replacement.
No one wants to spend more than they have to—and that includes you. Let’s get started with a discussion about your roof.
Is water running into your home? Has a tree limb fallen and damaged your roof? Call us and we’ll come out to survey the damage, temporarily stop any water from coming into your home, help you with your insurance claim, and schedule repairs.
The cost of a new roof depends on a number of factors, including square footage, materials selected, the condition of the current roof, and the contractor you choose. While there’s no one-size-fits-all price for roofing, you’re sure to find the best value for your money when you take the time to know what you’re buying—and who you’re buying it from.
Roofing estimates can vary widely. You’ll want to get estimates from at least three qualified, licensed, insured contractors.
Did the contractor list all the factors for your roofing project and itemize them to give you a real picture of the costs? For example, did they list any repair work or other services separately from the installation charges for the roof? Did the contractor specify the details of these other services including the materials to be used or the extra time it would add to the project? Is the brand of shingles or other roofing material listed on the estimate? Did they take the time to explain the ventilation system they employ or the underlayment materials and waterproofing system they will use to protect your home and extend the life of your roof?
Depending on the type of roofing you select, the cost for materials can vary widely. Expect to pay more for designer or architectural shingles that offer additional aesthetic benefits. If you can, research the brand of shingles the contractor intends to install and weigh the benefits against any extra costs. Expect to pay more for quality materials and be sure to ask about the shingle warranty. A 20-year shingle doesn’t have the same benefits as a 30-year shingle does, for example.
Don’t automatically choose the lowest bid. A low bid can be a warning sign of potential shortcomings in the dependability of the contractor. For example, is the bid low because the contractor takes shortcuts, uses inferior materials or utilizes inexperienced labor to complete the job? There is no way to be sure, so you should judge abnormally low bids with a fair share of skepticism. Remember, in many cases the old adage “you get what you pay for” is true.
When evaluating the estimates for your project, be sure you are comparing apples to apples. For example, one contractor may be able to charge considerably less if he does not carry the proper liability or worker’s compensation coverage for his employees. This insurance coverage adds to the labor costs and often necessitates higher rates. Be sure the contractors you’re considering all carry insurance coverage or make allowances for a contractor who is not insured, realizing the price may be artificially lower than the bids from the other contractors. Do the same when comparing the materials for the job. As mentioned above, quality materials often cost more, so be sure to factor that into your decision as well.
Experienced, reputable contractors may charge more than lesser-known contractors. Take this into consideration when evaluating the pricing, but be sure to verify the contractor’s reputation and don’t rely exclusively on marketing material or time in business alone to determine fair pricing. You should choose a contractor that you believe will be in business two to five years from the time of your roof replacement, since this is the period of time in which most incorrectly installed roof systems will start to have problems.
