Roof Replacement Necessary? Hire the Top Roofing Contractor in Dheinsville!
For far too many Dheinsville homeowners, Mother Nature provides notice that a new roof is required.
A lively storm blows through … and the signs show up. A few shingles in the yard. A water stain on a ceiling. Shingle granules accumulated in gutters, or at the end of downspouts.
The roof has broken down. The breakdown will likely only hasten, leaving everything it covers open to wind, rain and snow.
Maybe you could replace the roof yourself - if you’re unafraid of heights, able to keep your balance at varied angles, and have the right tools and know-how. Most homeowners, though, hire a professional roofing provider.
Picking a roofer in Dheinsville takes research. It’s a crowded field. Personal referrals – good and bad – are a great place to start. So is taking the time to research a contractor’s longevity and track record.

Beware of roofing companies who dangle a “too good to be true” price. They might leave town as soon as as your payment clears. Got an issue later with your roof? You’re on your own.
What Should I Consider About Roofing Installation?
The first question you might have pertaining to roof installation is: Do I need a tear-off? If a roof has two layers of roof shingles, the answer is “Yes.”
Even if just one layer is present, a tear-off is recommended. Adding a second layer can cancel the warranty on many shingle brands. Skipping a tear-off also misses the chance to detect underlying issues with roof boards, flashing and other structural elements.
You’ll have to select roofing material. Metal roofs have grown in popularity in recent years. While acknowledged for lifespan and durability, the cost scares off many Dheinsville homeowners.
Most buy asphalt shingles, the most typical roof covering. Its color and style options have grown exponentially, providing new aesthetic and longevity choices. Consumers have three general categories to choose from:
- Strip shingles, the affordable, flat-looking material that covers most Dheinsville houses
- Dimensional shingles, which offer a multi-dimensional appearance and better warranty protection
- Luxury shingles, which provide a realistic portrayal of wood shake or quarried slate roofing
Some shingles carry extra benefits: resistance to algae growth. Enhanced protection against hail. Color technologies that reflect sunlight and reduce energy costs.
Choices, choices. Which is correct for you?
The answer depends on your preferred aesthetics and, of course, budget. Like so many other home products, you often get what you pay for. It’s wise to visit manufacturers’ websites, check online reviews and ratings, and consult with roofing professionals when making a decision.
Consider the warranty provided on roofing products, too. They are loaded with conditions and exclusions.
If you run into a warranty issue down the road, the reasons could be numerous: material defects, such as shingles cracking or splitting. Installation errors. Weather-related damage. Improper repairs. Lack of maintenance.
Which warranty covers the situation? Is it the manufacturer’s warranty, which covers material defects? A contractor’s warranty, which covers installation-related issues? Or is the problem covered only if you bought an extended warranty?
Top roofing manufacturers usually warranty their products for 20 to 50 years. The variance depends on products bought. The fine print might disregard coverage for natural disasters, unauthorized repairs, or normal wear and tear.
Once again, buyer beware about hiring a Dheinsville roofing company. Red flags on a provider’s warranty might be a short warranty period, limited coverage, unclear terms … or perhaps no written warranty at all. Always ask about warranty when vetting possible vendors.
What’s a homeowner to do? First, thoroughly peruse all warranties before signing anything. Register warranties properly and maintain records. Finally, examine your roof regularly. Don’t make Mother Nature deliver a surprising, very unwelcome message!
What is the Process of Roof Replacement?
After likely weeks, if not months, of research and vetting, a roof replacement usually takes only one or two days. Workers remove old shingles. If questionable roof decking is located, the material is repaired or replaced. Usually an underlayment material, or ice and water shield, is applied over roof boards.
More metalwork is involved than one might expect. Roof flashing is often replaced, to better direct water away from critical areas such as chimneys. Roof vents are added or replaced to improve attic ventilation. Pipe boots prevent leaks around protruding pipes. Drip edges aid water flow off a roof.
A Dheinsville roof installation typically costs $20,000 to $40,000. The price depends on the materials involved, and size and characteristics of the roof. Either way, it’s a significant investment … making advance due diligence time well spent.
If a vendor offers a bargain-basement price … take a good, hard look at the company’s background, and the fine print in its documents. If they hesitate to provide documentation, consider it a huge red sign screaming “STOP!”
