Even though roofs generally last for many years, there may come a time when your house needs a new one. After years of being exposed to the elements, a roof will eventually develop problems that need your attention. Before your roof gets any worse than it is now, contact a company that does Residential Re-roofing in Tulsa, OK for an estimate.
Q.) My roof has a small leak, does this mean that I need to have my entire roof replaced?
A.) Just because you have a leak doesn’t necessarily mean that your entire roof needs replaced. When a contractor comes to your house to give you an estimate, he will look at your roof and determine if the entire roof needs replaced or just a section of the roof. If the roof is beginning to deteriorate, it’s best to have the entire house re-roofed to prevent any problems in the future.
Q.) Will the roofers install the new roof over my existing roof or will the old shingles be torn off?
A.) You’ll get the best results if the old roof is torn off first before the new roof is put on. This can help to identify any problems with the roof deck, which may also need repair. If your roof already has two layers of roofing materials, both layers will be torn off before the new roof is put on. Check your local building codes to see if multiple roof layers are allowed in your jurisdiction.
Q.) How long will it take the roofing contractors to roof my house?
A.) The amount of time it will take to roof your home depends on several factors including the size of your home and the weather. A general roofing job will usually take only one day, however if your house is large or it has a high pitch, the process can take up to four days for completion. If the weather is extremely cold, icy, snowy or rainy, this will prolong the number of days it takes to roof your house as well.
If you have any questions or concerns about replacing the roof on your home, contact a knowledgeable salesperson at Arrowhead Construction Inc. The salesperson can answer any questions you have about the roofing process and discuss the payment options with you.
