A roof is a big investment. If you’re considering repairing or replacing it, there are many important questions to ask yourself and a qualified roofing contractor to decide which is best for your home. You must consider the age of your current roof, the condition of all roofing components, and whether you plan to sell your house in the near future.
Before considering a minor repair, be sure you or a roofer examine the entire roof structure to determine other potential issues. Look in the attic for water intrusion or obvious gaps. Watch out for signs of roof damage, such as buckling shingles and damaged flashing, before those small roofing problems become serious issues. The cost of a new roof may be worth it if you can avoid costly damage down the road.

What will be the cost of roof repair in Delaware?

The cost to replace a roof varies according to your roofing materials (all the way from cheap 3-tab asphalt shingles up to architectural shingles or even slate), the roofing contractor, the pitch (or steepness) of your roof, the area to be covered, and few other factors.

Roofing Repair Basic Procedure-

The word “square,” when used in relation to roofing, means 100 square feet.
One reason why roofers speak in terms of squares is that they deal with such vast quantities of materials.  It is pointless to discuss smaller units. Shingles come in bundles. Three or four bundles of shingles typically comprise a square. A moderately-sized, professionally installed roofing job might take only 3 or 4 days.

1. Remove all existing shingles, deposit them in a roll-off, and remove.
2. Make minor repairs on the roof if it’s in good condition. If not, replace bad wood with plywood or 1″x6″ boards, whichever is applicable to your roof.
3. Install ice dam protection, a barrier of synthetic materials to prevent back up ice in the gutters which prevents ice-melt from draining away. The ice-melt will permeate under the shingles and cause damage to the inside of your house.
4. Lay down asphalt paper.
5. Apply the shingles – starting at the eaves and working upward.
6. Apply to flash around all areas where leaks might come into the house – against the chimney, stack vents, etc.
7. Install the ridge vent.

Hire Roofing Contractor

There are many important questions to ask potential roofers before they begin repairs. Be sure to verify the roofer’s license, if applicable in your area, as well as their insurance. The cheapest bid may not be your best bet, and avoid door-to-door contractors who come knocking after a storm. Ask your roofer whether he or she warranty the roof repair and get a clear idea of time frame and pay schedule before signing a contract.
