Residential Roofing Full Guide For Homeowners

Do you need roofing repair for your residential home? If you’re like most homeowners, the answer is probably YES. Roofs are one of the most important features of any house. They cost a lot to construct and maintain; they determine how well weather is kept out, and they protect everything that makes up your home.

No matter what kind of issue you have with your roof, there’s help available. But first, it’s important to understand exactly what kind of problems happen with roofs. We’ll go through some issues here, so if you need assistance, you know exactly what we offer and how we can help provide complete solutions for residential roofing repair .

If you are dealing with any roofing issues, then give First Choice Exteriors a call at 717-321-0596 today.

How much does residential roofing cost?

While it’s possible to calculate roofing costs on your own, it can be difficult. There are a lot of variables that go into the decision making process for contractors and property owners. Still, there are some rough averages you can see here based on 30 square homes:

– Removal and replacement of standing seam metal roofs – $1300 per square ($39,000 for an average size home with a metal roof)

– Removal and replacement of corrugated metal roofs – $600 per square ($18,000 for an average size home with a metal roof)

– Repair or replacement (for asphalt) – generally around $500 per square ($15,000+ for an average sized home with asphalt shingles)

*Prices are based on 30 square homes and can be subjected to change based on height, steepness, etc.*

What kinds of residential roof problems cause leaks?

Leaks in your roof are one of the most common reasons homeowners will need to pay for residential roofing repair or full replacement. There are several types of leaks. Some are simple, quick repairs that anyone can do, while others require extensive work by a professional.

Are there roof replacement options?

While it’s possible to perform repairs to any stage of damage, sometimes roofs are beyond saving. Once the insulation within has been compromised by holes or curling shingles, tiles can begin to pop off due to excess moisture build up. At that point, it’s time for a complete replacement rather than trying to put a band-aid on the issue.

What types of issues would require a replacement?

Extensive damage that has compromised the structural integrity of the roof is one reason you might need to install a new residential roof. It could be due to wind damage, heavy hail storms which have damaged tiles, or simply age causing layers of shingles to loosen up over time.

However it happens though, if your roof needs complete replacement because of holes or structural problems, it’s best not to attempt doing this yourself unless you are an experienced professional who knows exactly what they’re doing. The average homeowner should never consider taking on this type of project without calling in skilled professionals first.

  I can't say enough how much we appreciate the team from First Choice. We had storm damage to our roof and wanted to use a local contractor. They came out right away, even though it was a smaller job, and did an inspection as well. Even though it was a small job, they treated us like we were a priority. We are hoping to put an addition on the house this year and will call them again when it is time for the roofing and gutter work.

  These guys found me at the perfect time. I happened to be outside my house when they approached me. They were offering a free roof inspection to see if I had hail damage from a previous storm. I didn’t remember a hail storm and was slightly skeptical but I figured it couldn’t hurt. Turns out they found damage and visible damage that I could see. I had just never noticed the holes in my screens and dents in my fascia. The storm date happened to be when we were on vacation so it made sense I didn’t remember.

I reported the claim to my insurance and they sent an insurance adjuster out. Javi and Mario came out with the adjuster in case there were any questions. I was approved.

The crew that came out to install the roof couldn’t have been any better. They were thorough and efficient. They cleaned up and put things back where they found it. They were done in a day.

Throughout the whole process Javi was in constant communication. He went above and beyond to makes sure I was satisfied. Highly recommend!

  If I could give 10 stars, I would!  From the time I called the business for an estimate for roof replacement through installation and afterwards,  I received nothing but superb service.  Justin is so professional, he listens to the customer needs and then executes phenomenally.  I actually thought this was too good to be true as I dealt with another roof company for roof repairs in previous years and did not receive service like this as I did with First Choice Exteriors, LLC.  I recommend this company to anyone as they were a blessing for me.

  From the estimate to the completion of my roof, this was one of the most professional contractors I've dealt with in my 71 years.
