The tips for getting a new roof below are for home owners that are considering getting a new roof installed. If you don’t know if you need a new roof or just roof repair in Gregory Michigan be sure to give us a call for a roof inspection on your home to determine what shape your roof is in. We’ll also provide you with a report of our findings to better help you decide if you need a new roof or not.
You can save money by using a re-roof where new asphalt shingles are applied directly on top of the old roof. This can help with pricing as it’s much less labor intensive and there is far less debris to be removed after the project is complete. However, there are some drawbacks to using this method. Re-roofing doesn’t allow the roofing contractor to fully inspect the roof decking which may have problems. A better, but more expensive way, is to fully remove the old roof by the tear off method which means all the old shingles are removed exposing any problems in the roof decking.
Changing the roofing material on your home can have undesired effects. Changing from metal roofing to shingle roofing or vise versa may mean you’ll need to install additional items on the roof which can drive the cost up. Be sure to get an estimate if you plan on changing the roofing materials on your home.

Most licensed and certified roofing contractors will want you to sign a contract before the project begins. This contract not only protects the roofing contractor but it also protects you the home owner. Read over the contract and ask questions if you need clarification on any items. This contract usually states what work will be done, when it will be done, and how much it will cost. While working with someone with a handshake may seem like a novel idea it’s also very risky for both parties. Always use a contractor that has a contract with you.
