Home Additions in Grants Pass and Southern Oregon

There are several indicators that your roof may need to be replaced:

• Age: If your roof is over 10-20 years old, it may be time for a replacement.
• Shingle Damage: Look for cracked, curled, or missing shingles, and granules in the gutters.
• Leaks and Water Damage: Water stains on ceilings or walls, mold, or mildew in the attic are signs of leaks.
• Sagging Roof: A sagging roof indicates structural issues.
• Sunlight in the Attic: Seeing sunlight through the roof boards means there are gaps or holes.
• Higher Energy Bills: Increased heating or cooling costs could mean your roof isn't insulating properly.
• Moss or Algae Growth: Moss and algae can trap moisture and damage shingles over time.
• Damaged Flashing: Cracked or damaged flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights can lead to leaks.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s a good idea to have a professional roofing contractor assess the condition of your roof.

A typical roof installation usually takes between 1 to 2 weeks. The exact timeline depends on a few factors:

• Size and Complexity: Bigger or more complicated roofs take longer.
• Weather Conditions: Bad weather can cause delays.
• Roofing Material: Materials like asphalt shingles go up faster than slate or tile.
• Crew Size: A larger crew can get the job done quicker.

There are several types of roofing materials to choose from, each with its own benefits:

• Asphalt Shingles: Affordable, easy to install, and available in many colors. They are a popular choice for most homes.
• Metal Roofing: Durable, energy-efficient, and long-lasting. Great for areas with extreme weather conditions.
• Tile Roofing: Made from clay or concrete, tiles are durable and offer a distinctive look, ideal for Mediterranean or Spanish-style homes.
• Wood Shingles and Shakes: Provide a natural and rustic appearance. Best for homes in dry climates.
• Slate Roofing: Extremely durable and long-lasting, with a distinctive, elegant look. Suitable for high-end homes.
• Synthetic Roofing: Made from plastic, rubber, or polymer, these materials mimic natural products like wood or slate but are lighter and often more affordable.

The lifespan of different roofing materials can vary greatly. Here's a quick estimate based on roofing type. 

• Asphalt Shingles: Typically last 15-30 years.
• Metal Roofing: Can last 40-70 years, depending on the material (steel, aluminum, copper, etc.).
• Tile Roofing: Clay and concrete tiles can last 50-100 years.
• Wood Shingles and Shakes: Generally last 20-40 years, depending on maintenance and climate.
• Slate Roofing: Known for their longevity, slate roofs can last 75-200 years.
• Synthetic Roofing: Usually last 30-50 years.
• Solar Tiles: Typically have a lifespan of 25-30 years.

These estimates can vary based on factors such as climate, installation quality, and maintenance. Regular inspections and maintenance can help extend the lifespan of any roofing material.

The cost of a new roof can vary widely, typically ranging from $15,000 to $27,000 or more. Several factors can influence the final price:

• Roof Size: Larger roofs require more materials and labor, increasing the overall cost.
• Roofing Material: The type of material you choose has a significant impact on the price. For example:
• Asphalt shingles: $450 per square  (10x10 feet)
• Metal roofing: $700 to $800 per square
• Tile roofing: $600 to $1,200 per square
• Slate roofing: $800 to $1,500 per square
• Labor Costs: Labor rates vary by region and the complexity of the job. Roofs with steep pitches, complex designs, or difficult access points can increase labor costs.
• Removal of Old Roof: If the old roof needs to be removed, this adds to the cost. Removal can range from $1 to $5 per square foot.
• Roof Features: Additional features like skylights, chimneys, and vents can increase the complexity and cost of the installation.
• Underlayment and Flashing: High-quality underlayment and flashing materials add to the cost but provide better protection against leaks and water damage.
• Location: Prices can vary based on your geographical location due to differences in material availability, labor costs, and local regulations.
• Permits and Inspections: Some areas require permits, which can add to the overall cost.
