Signs your roof needs replacing

Most roofs give you warning before they fail. Curling or cupped shingles, granules collecting in the gutters, dark streaks across the surface, and daylight visible in the attic all point to a roof near the end of its life. Age matters too. Asphalt shingle roofs are generally built to last two to three decades, so a roof past twenty years is worth having looked at even if nothing is obviously wrong. Catching it before a leak usually means fewer surprises once work begins.

What a new roof costs

Price comes down to a handful of things: the size and pitch of your roof, the material you choose, how many old layers have to come off first, and whether there is damage to the decking underneath. Asphalt shingle is the most common choice and the most affordable. Metal, tile and slate cost more and last longer. Because every roof is different, the only number worth trusting is one that comes from a contractor who has looked at yours. That is what an estimate is for.

Repair or replace

A repair makes sense when the damage is contained and the rest of the roof has life left in it. A handful of missing shingles after a storm, a flashing problem around a chimney, a single area of damage. Replacement becomes the better value when the roof is near the end of its service life, when repairs are becoming routine, or when damage runs across several areas. Patching an old roof repeatedly often costs more over a few years than replacing it once. A contractor can tell you which situation you are in.

Choosing a roofing contractor

Ask for proof of licensing and insurance, and confirm both are current. Ask what warranty covers the workmanship, not just the manufacturer's warranty on the material. Ask who will actually be on your roof, since some companies subcontract the work. Get the scope in detail: tear off or overlay, what happens if the decking underneath is damaged, how long the job takes, and how the site gets cleaned up. A contractor who answers these clearly and puts them in the estimate is usually the one to work with.

FAQ

Common questions

How much does a new roof cost?

The cost of a new roof depends on the size and pitch of the roof, the material chosen, how many old layers have to be removed, and the condition of the decking underneath. Asphalt shingle is the most affordable common option, while metal, tile and slate cost more. An accurate figure requires a contractor to inspect the roof.

How long does an asphalt shingle roof last?

An asphalt shingle roof is generally built to last around twenty to thirty years, though climate, ventilation and installation quality all affect it. Roofs in areas with heavy sun, hail or storms tend to age faster. A roof past twenty years is worth having inspected even if no problems are visible.

Should I repair my roof or replace it?

Repair usually makes sense when damage is limited to one area and the roof still has years of service life left. Replacement is generally the better value when the roof is near the end of its life, when repairs are becoming frequent, or when damage appears in several places across the roof.

Does it cost anything to request an estimate?

No. Submitting a request through Roof Home Experts is free, and there is no obligation to go ahead with any work. The roofing contractor contacts you to discuss your project and provide an estimate. Whether you accept it is entirely your decision.

Does Roof Home Experts do the roofing work?

No. Roof Home Experts does not perform roofing work and is not a roofing contractor. It connects homeowners who are considering a roof replacement with a roofing contractor who serves their area. The contractor handles the inspection, the estimate and the work itself.

What happens after I submit my request?

Your request goes to Home Lead Supply, where we match it with a roofing contractor who covers your area. If we have a match, that contractor contacts you directly, usually by phone, to go over your roof and your project before preparing an estimate. You are free to ask questions and decide from there.
