5 things I wish I knew before replacing my roof š”
Replacing your roof is a big investment, and thereās more to it than picking a shingle color.
Here are 5 things we think every homeowner should know before starting a roof replacement:
1. Donāt automatically choose the lowest estimate. Make sure you understand what materials, labor and warranties are included.
2. The shingles you choose matter. We trust and use IKO North America shingles on our roofing projects. Their Dynasty Performance shingles feature a reinforced ArmourZoneĀ® nailing surface, Class 3 impact resistance and a limited wind warranty up to 130 mph, depending on the applicable warranty terms.
3. A roof is more than just shingles. Underlayment, flashing, ventilation and other components all work together as a system.
4. Donāt overlook attic ventilation. Proper ventilation is an important part of a properly designed roofing system and can help your roof perform as it should.
5. Your contractor matters. Even the best materials need to be installed correctly. Ask questions, understand the scope of work and choose a contractor you feel comfortable trusting with your home.
At ManePoint Exteriors, we want you to feel confident about whatās going on over your head, not confused by the process.
