Get the best deal
on roof replacement
When your roof is leaking, negotiating with roofing
contractors on roof replacement may not be possible. This is why it is important to perform annual
inspections on your roof so you can fix a problem before you need an entire
roof replacement.
Best materials for
roof replacement
If you do end up needing a roof replacement, you will
have a choice of materials. The least
expensive are asphalt shingles. These
shingles look nice, but may not have the visual appeal you desire. Another good option is wood or cedar shake
shingles. These are much more
attractive, although they do cost a bit more.
Depending upon where you live, metal or tile may be a good choice. Metal roofing is typically used in more rural
areas. It is also popular in the
Charlotte and Concord NC region. Tile,
while more expensive, is a great choice if you want something different or if
you live in a hot, dry climate.
Roof replacement
costs
How much your roof replacement will cost depends upon a
few different factors. First, the size
and pitch of your roof. Second, which
materials you use and third, when you need the roof replacement. If your roof replacement is an emergency
because of storm damage or a major leak, you may not have much negotiating
power on the price. However, if you have
some time to compare prices and negotiate, you may be able to get a deal from a
roofing contractor. This is especially
true during the off-season when they are not so busy.
The best time for
a roof replacement
Most roofing work is done during the warmer months, from
late spring through early fall. However,
most roofing companies are willing to work all year round, so you may be able
to get a much better deal on your roof replacement during the cooler months
when the roofing contractors are not as busy.
