Roof Replacement
A property owner will generally at some point have to replace a failing roof. Although a roof replacement is costly and time consuming, it does give a better payback when selling a home then an awesome updated kitchen because basic maintenance is a necessity and must come first. However, the monetary payback in market value on a home sale averages out to about 12,000.
When you need a roof replacement, there are several important questions to answer:
When you need a roof replacement, there are several important questions to answer:
- What are your future plans for the property- are you selling?
- What kind of lifespan are you looking for in a roof?
- Do you have restrictions to follow and/or an approval required from an HOA (Home Owners Association)?
- Type of replacement material desired asphalt shingles, wood shakes, metal, ceramic tile, or slate.
- Will the existing roof frame work with the new design?
- Will my energy costs go down?
- Is this roof appropriate for this climate?
- Will the current venting of the roof be adequate for the new roof?
Roofing Estimate
The roofing estimate should include a breakdown of all charges including premium material up-charges, such as wood shake versus asphalt shingles. The client should also be advised that the cost could increase should hidden damage be found, such as rotten wood affecting the stability of the roof deck or beams, leaking around roof vents and/or chimney, and not enough flashing.
Roof Installation Timeline
Once you've scheduled your roof installation, to when the job is completed the time-span usually runs from a few days to 2 weeks depending on the roof size and type of roofing material ordered. Additionally the time can expand due to ordering backlogs and problems encountered during tear off requiring additional repairs, such as bad roof decking, flashing needing replacement, and increased number of perforations for vents or skylights.
The Tear Off
Stripping the shingles off the roof right down to the deck is called the tear off. We start at the top of the roof (called the ridgeline) and work our way down to the drip line or edge. We only remove the amount of shingles that can be replaced within the same day so your roof is never left with any uncovered portions come end of day.
Preparation and Cleanup
Central Virginia Roofing does not charge extra for debris cleanup, we use a rolling magnet to pick up nails that may have dropped during the roof replacement. Since we cover shrubbery with tarps before the old roofing is torn off, it makes clean up as easy as pulling the tarp of the shrubs carefully then dumping it in the rented dumpster. Plenty of times damage is done to HVAC systems because careless service employees place ladders on hoses…, and the problem is not found till the workers are long gone. We have taken steps beyond our competitors to virtually eliminate unintended property damage with the application of red flags to any hoses or cables leading into homes or businesses.
