Roof Replacement Required? Hire the Top Roofing Provider in Eagleville!
For a multitude of Eagleville homeowners, Mother Nature provides notice that a new roof is needed.
A powerful storm blows through … and the signs pop up. A few shingles in the yard. A water stain on a ceiling. Shingle granules piled up in gutters, or at the end of downspouts.
The roof has broken down. The deterioration will likely only accelerate, leaving everything it covers open to wind, rain and snow.
Maybe you could restore the roof yourself - if you’re fearless of heights, able to maintain balance at varied angles, and have the correct tools and know-how. Most homeowners, though, hire a professional roofing company.
Deciding on a roofer in Eagleville takes time. It’s a crowded marketplace. Personal referrals – good and bad – are highly valuable. So is taking the time to research a company’s longevity and track record.

Beware of roofing companies who offer a “too good to be true” deal. They might skip town the moment as your payment clears. Got a problem later with your roof? You’re on your own.
What Should I Consider About Roofing Replacement?
The first question you might have regarding roof installation is: Do I require 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 advisable. Adding another layer can void 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 decide on roofing material. Metal roofs have grown in popularity in recent years. While known for lifespan and durability, the cost scares off many Eagleville homeowners.
Most select asphalt shingles, the most typical roof covering. Its color and style choices 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 Eagleville 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 check with roofing professionals when making a decision.
Scrutinize the warranty offered on roofing products, too. They are loaded with conditions and exclusions.
If you run into a warranty issue later on, 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 addresses 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.
Here again, buyer beware about hiring a Eagleville roofing installer. Red flags on a company’s warranty might be a short warranty period, limited coverage, unclear terms … or perhaps no written warranty at all. Always inquire about warranty when checking potential vendors.
What’s a homeowner to do? First, carefully peruse all warranties before signing anything. Register warranties properly and hold onto records. Finally, examine your roof consistently. Don’t make Mother Nature deliver a surprising, highly unwelcome message!
What is the Process of Roof Installation?
After maybe weeks, if not months, of research and vetting, a roof installation usually takes only one or two days. Workers take off old shingles. If problematic roof decking is discovered, 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 better ventilate attics. Pipe boots prevent leaks around protruding pipes. Drip edges aid water flow off a roof.
A Eagleville roof installation typically costs $20,000 to $40,000. The cost depends on the materials selected, and size and characteristics of the roof. Either way, it’s a significant investment … making pre-project due diligence time well spent.
If a contractor 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!”
