Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Roofing

Common Questions By Homeowners

How do I know if I need a new roof?

Sometimes, this answer is obvious: a hole in your roof, missing shingles, leaks, or animals living in your attic. Other times, the signs you need a new roof are little more subtle. If your roof is more than 12-15 years old, it may be time to get a replacement and get ahead of any problems that result from a damaged roof.

Curling shingles, missing or damaged flashing, ice dams, and discolored ceilings and walls are also good indicators that it’s time to replace your roof.

How often does a roof need to be replaced?

The longevity of your roof will depend on its materials, its installation, and its ventilation, so it’s hard to give a straight answer. Typically, a solid, well-constructed roof will last between 12-15 years. Depending on the quality and type of shingles you chose and the underlayment of your roof, that number can go up to 30 or more.

How much does a new roof cost?

Every roof is different, so every roof costs a different amount. When considering the price of your new roof, roofing contractors take a few factors into consideration: size, old roof removal, style, shape, materials, and other features like chimneys, skylights, and vents that they need to work around.

A replacement roof is a big investment, and giving a quote without examining your unique situation would not be in our customers’ best interest.

However, once the price of your new roof is calculated, there are plenty of ways to finance your roof, making paying for your roof replacement easy and affordable.

Should I replace my roof before I list my home?

According to Better Homes and Gardens, a whopping 40 percent of a home’s curb appeal is due to the condition and aesthetic of the roof. When selling your home, if your roof is in bad shape or in need of major repairs or a replacement, you may have a lot of trouble getting people to bid on your home.

A lot of buyers these days are on a budget, and don’t want to spend money on major repairs after they just bought a house. Replacing your roof before you sell can help you get ahead of trouble while still recouping most, if not all, of the costs when you sell.

The good reviews are true. Tom came to do an inspection on my roof. He use a ladder and a drone took pictures and explained everything in a clear and polite manner. He even fixed a small leak for free, very happy with this company. I definitely will contact them in the future.

“Tom at Presidio was a pleasure to work with. Very professional, honest, knowledgeable, and provided wonderful and personal customer service". He made it a point to put me on his schedule, even though him and his family were going out of town for the holidays. You don’t find too many companies that will go out of their way like he did. I will definitely be doing business with Tom at Presidio again as I have two rental properties located in North, Texas that will need roofing work in the future.

Really pleased with Nick’s responsiveness and expert opinion. Communication was excellent and he managed to make the repairs later the same day and before an impending storm in the next few days. I’m happy to recommend Presidio Roofing.

More Common Roof Questions From Homeowners

What is the best time to replace a roof?

While there is no official “roofing season” and roofers work all year round, summer and fall are usually busier months for most roofing contractors. Factors like snow, rain, ice, and sleet can impact how quickly roofers can safely and effectively get your roof finished, which is why dryer, warmer months are when most people opt to get their roofs replaced.

However, replacing your roof in the winter or spring could result in a quicker install due to more availability and less demand.

Can I replace my roof myself?

While some home projects can be “DIY’d” and turn out fine, roofing is not one of them. Each year, more than 6,000 Americans die from falls in the home, many of which come from tumbles off of roofs and ladders while doing repairs or regular maintenance, making it one of the most dangerous DIY projects you can do. Plus, you could be violating your roof’s current warranty or do the work improperly, resulting in expensive repairs and replacements down the line.

Not to mention, a one-man roof replacement job compared to an experienced team of professional roofers warrants a higher risk for mismatched shingles, holes, and other issues with the aesthetics and quality of your roof.

What roofing material should I use?

The shape and style of your roof will determine whether you need a shingle or flat roof, while your budget will most likely determine whether you use asphalt or designer/luxury shingles. It’s important to keep in mind that those aren’t the only materials of which your roof is comprised. In addition to shingles, there’s decking, drip edge, ice and water barrier, underlayment, flashing, and ventilation.

When you work with Presidio Roofing, we pick the best quality materials and guarantee a dependable roof no matter what kind of home or budget you have.
