How to Find a Reliable Roofer

Roofing work is expensive, and, if you hire the wrong contractor, you can spend thousands of dollars too much and still get terrible work. Our ratings of area roofers will help you nail down the best roofers for your job.

Avoiding a Shakedown for Roofing Costs

When hiring a roofer, quality of work should be your primary consideration. Once you have identified roofers that measure up on quality, get several fixed-price bids for the work. You’ll find big roofer-to-roofer price differences for the same job.

How to Tell It’s Time for a New Roof

Different types of roofs have different lifespans. Your inspections will reveal whether the entire roof is due for replacement.

Should You Reroof with Solar Shingles?

Because many homeowners find solar panels ugly contraptions, solar roofs may boast more curb appeal. But solar tile systems are more expensive than conventional panels and shingles.

How to Deal with Your Roofer

To get the roof you want at the best possible price, you must also deal with contractors wisely. One key is a precise contract; another is withholding as much payment as possible until work is complete, avoiding roofers that require big deposits.

How to Maintain Your Roof

You can save money by inspecting your roof regularly to spot incipient problems. And you can save more by making simple repairs yourself.
