Replacing your roof. Welcome to the RemodelersMarket.com Roof Remodeling page! You are just one click away from describing your project and requesting your ideal number of free estimates from only the best contractors in your neighborhood. You can click here to get started, or read about what we recommend below! Remodeling your roof is usually something you think about when it's an emergency. Most homeowners are prompted to remodel their roof because it is leaking or terribly inefficient when it comes to their energy bill. Some roofs, although they're still performing properly, are an eye sore. There are a number of factors homeowners need to be aware of when they're looking to solve any of these problems with a new roof. For instance, are permits necessary? Do old shingles absolutely need to be removed? Who is responsible for the disposal of the old shingles? What are the warranty features of the materials and the installation company? How can you ensure the roof is properly ventilated? What materials are being used for underlayment, etc.? One materials manufacture we recommend has a great summary of these answers, but you'll need a well-qualified contractor you cant trust to actually install it properly. You can purchase "off-the-shelf" products from places like Home_Depot or Lowes, or you can have a professional bring the choices to your home. We recommend using a contractor from a specialized company. Typically they have more of a selection of products and provide more one-on-one service. Remodeling a roof is not a pre-packaged project, which makes big-box retailers less effective at getting you exactly what you want. Roofing contractors have more comprehensive customer service skills when compared to extremely large retailers. You'll appreciate this level of customer service when tailoring your installation options to match your home's decor. Many contractors also offer multiple brands, allowing you to compare and choose which best fit your cost and style needs. Specialized contracting companies also provide you with an installation service that is supported by their warranty as well as the manufacturer's. When you're making a decision as important as a roof remodeling project, we strongly recommend using one of our specialized local contractors. |

WOOD, METAL, ASPHALT, COPPER, ZINC, TILE, CONCRETE, NATURAL SLATE. SHINGLES, SHAKES, CORRUGATED, INTERLOCK, SPRAYED, ROLLED. HOW DOES ONE DECIDE? Cost, aesthetics, and energy efficiency are the three main factors to consider when choosing a material for a new roof. Most homeowners choose a material similar to their current roof, but installing a new material in place of an old one is not uncommon. Materials like wood and asphalt are considered some of the more attractive roofing treatments, but they require a bit more maintenance compared to tile, metal, concrete, or sprayed roofing. However, they can offer equal or better energy efficiency, and they are quite affortable options. Our contractors can offer you the exact pricing differences along with the benefits and drawbacks of each kind of roofing material. To the right, you'll see some of the most popular manufacturers of roofing materials. The contractors we work with are certified installers for these products, which offer some of the strongest warranties and most reliable performance on the market. |

ROOFING ACCESSORIES: A roof is more than just shingles and underlayment. All roofs are designed to breathe and drain. Accessories such as turbine vents, gutters, downspouts, and water diverters are part of almost any roofing installation. Other accessories such as solar panels, skylights, and snow guards or brackets are also offered my most contractors, but you need to make sure your contractor knows how to install all of these accessories propertly. At Remodelers Market, we've taken care of that for you already. COMPARING CONTRACTORS : Remodelers Market recommends getting bids from several contractors. Remember, while price is important, choosing the company with the lowest price is not always the best idea. “Not surprisingly, there are a number of pitfalls to which homeowners can fall victim, including evaluating and hiring a contractor without a personal interview, judging estimates on low price only, selecting products without comparison shopping, and not understanding reroofing basics.” To learn more about the qualifications we require of our contractors, visit our Screening Contractors page. USING REMODELERSMARKET.COM: Although there are plenty of websites that will collect your information and connect you with contractors, none of them consider how many estimates you'd like to receive. Most of them sell your contact information to as many contractors as possible, most of whom are not properly qualified. You'll receive an overwhelming barrage of harassing phone calls and emails from just about every contractor in your area. At RemodelersMarket.com, we ensure you'll only hear from your ideal number of qualified contractors and your satisfaction is guaranteed.
