Roofing & Exterior Services Pros

Roofers repair, replace and maintain roofs - shingle, metal, tile and flat - along with the flashing, gutters, soffits and fascia that keep water off and out of a house. Many also handle siding and other exterior work.

Do You Need Roofing & Exterior Services?

Call a roofer for missing or curling shingles, granules collecting in the gutters, a stain on a ceiling, daylight in the attic, or after a storm. Small leaks rarely stay small: water that gets past a roof travels along framing and shows up somewhere else.

Clearing gutters from a ladder is a reasonable DIY job. Walking a roof, and anything involving the roof covering itself, is not.

What Do Roofing & Exterior Services Pros Do?

A roofer inspects the roof and attic, then repairs damaged areas or strips and replaces the covering. Replacement includes the underlayment, flashing around chimneys, walls and vents, ventilation, and drip edge. Good crews protect landscaping, run a magnet for nails, and leave with the old roof in a dumpster.

Jobs Roofing & Exterior Services pros list most

Before you hire

  • A licence or registration where your state requires one for roofing.
  • Liability and workers' compensation insurance - roofing is one of the riskiest trades to have uninsured on your property.
  • Whether the quote is a full tear-off or an overlay, and whether decking replacement is priced per sheet.
  • Both warranties: the manufacturer's on materials and the roofer's own on workmanship.
  • After a storm, be wary of anyone who knocks unasked, wants a large deposit, or offers to handle your insurance claim for you.

What moves the price

  • Roof size and pitch - steep roofs need more safety equipment and time.
  • Material: asphalt shingle, metal, tile and flat membranes differ widely.
  • Layers to remove and how much of the decking underneath needs replacing.
  • Chimneys, skylights, valleys and other details that need flashing.

Roofing & Exterior Services: common questions

Repair or replace my roof?

Isolated damage on a roof with plenty of life left is usually a repair. Widespread curling, granule loss, repeated leaks or a roof near the end of its expected life usually points to replacement. A good roofer will show you photos of what they found.

Will insurance pay for my roof?

Homeowners policies generally cover sudden damage such as wind or hail, not wear and age. Read your policy, document the damage, and talk to your insurer before signing anything with a contractor.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most single-family roofs are done in one to three days, weather permitting. Larger or more complex roofs and some materials take longer.
