All too often, roof system problems are discovered after leaking or other serious damage occurs. Periodic (twice-a-year, annual or bi-annual) inspections often can uncover cracked, warped or missing shingles; loose seams and deteriorated flashings; excessive surface granules accumulating in the gutters or downspouts; and other visible signs of roof system problems. Indoors, look for cracked or bubbled paint, discolored plasterboard and peeling wallpaper as signs of damaged roof areas.

A:

Not necessarily. Leaks can result from flashings that have come loose or a section of the roof system being damaged. A complete roof system failure, however, generally is irreversible and a result of improper installation or choice of materials or the roof system installation is inappropriate for the home or building.

Most new roof systems are designed to provide useful service for about 20 years.  Some roof system types, such as slate, clay tile and certain metal (i.e. copper) systems (link), can last longer.

Actual roof system life span is determined by a number of factors, including local climate and environmental conditions, proper building and roof system design, material quality and suitability for the structure, proper application, and adequate roof maintenance as you’ll find with our ROOF GUARD MAINTENANCE PROGRAM.

Roofing product manufacturers offer a variety of warranties on their products.  Take a close look at those warranties to determine what accountability and financial responsibilities manufacturers will assume if their products fail to reach their stated life expectancies.  Remember, most manufacturer warranties require maintenance to validate the warranty.

The price of a new roof varies widely, depending on such things as the material selected, the size of the home or building, and the contractor performing the work.  To gauge the price of what a new roof will cost, obtain up to three bids from reputable contractors, and check to make sure that they are appropriately licensed with the Nevada State Contractors’ Board www.nvcontractorsboard.com.  Keep in mind, however, that price is only one factor and must be weighed with other factors such as the quality of the materials selected and level of workmanship provided by the contractor of your choice.

For each type of roofing material, there are a variety of styles and shapes with different grades and corresponding prices.  When determining cost, consider the full product range and make an informed decision based on your budget and needs.  Also, within the roofing industry there are different caliber contractors with varying levels of expertise and craftsmanship.  Only hire a contractor who is committed to providing quality work, incomparable standards and responsive customer service.  CLICK HERE to submit your project information for a free, no-hassle estimate, or contact us directly at (702) 739-7663 and speak with one of our friendly, customer service representatives.

Replacing a roof, whether on a commercial building or residence, is a labor-intensive project that could take anywhere between a few days to two or more weeks, depending on the type of roof.
