If you decide to replace your roof, you may wonder about the cost. The most common question we receive is, “How much will a new roof cost?” The answer depends on several factors. Firstly, the size of your roof is the most crucial factor in determining the cost of a new roof. Roofs are measured in “A Square,” which means 100 square feet.

The cost per square is calculated by including the removal of existing shingles, installation of new underlayment, followed by asphalt shingles. The type of shingles a homeowner selects determines the cost per square.

Maybe during your springtime maintenance, you might come across a few missing shingles or notice a leak stain on your bathroom ceiling. When it comes to a roofing leak, you have options available to you. People sometimes question if they require a new roof due to a leak, and the answer always varies. The age of your current roof, its warranty (if it exists), and the scope of the roof leak will determine the subsequent steps. In any case, the first step is always to have the issue examined by a reputable roofing company.

Depending on the extent of damage to your roof causing the leak, such as a few missing shingles or a significant issue, it will determine your next course of action. Sometimes, a simple roof repair is sufficient, while other times it’s worth contacting your insurance company to see if your roof qualifies for a replacement. Finally, in severe cases, a new roof is the best option.

One of the most frequently asked questions we receive as a roofing company is how to tell when a roof is in need of repair. While some signs are obvious, others are not as clear-cut. Common roofing issues such as missing shingles, water stains, and exposed components can be seen at first glance. However, there may be more subtle issues such as rotting plywood, cracks in pipe collars, or leaks that are not immediately visible. Whatever your situation may be, it is best to call on the services of experts such as Angel Construction & Roofing.

Home remodeling can be done throughout the year, depending on the type of project. Renovating or remodeling interior spaces can usually be done any time of the year, but certain aspects of the project may be dependent on the weather. For instance, when constructing a home addition, foundation or footing work should be completed when temperatures are above freezing.

We can address any questions you have about project timelines during your first consultation.
