Reasons to Hire a Professional Roofer

If you’ve had weather damage or are trying to replace tiles, it’s important to hire someone who has extensive roofing experience to do the repair. Here are several reasons why you may not want to tackle the job yourself.

  1. Safety – An experienced roofer knows how to move around the roof safely and understands how to use tools properly so that nobody gets hurt. If you try to do the job yourself, you could fall or become severely injured.
  2. Quality workmanship – When you hire a roofer with the level of experience of Kidd Roofing, you know that the job will be done correctly and that the repair will last. This is what we do, and we are extremely skilled at it.
  3. Time – A skilled roofer can perform a repair much quicker and more efficiently than a non-professional.
  4. Cost – Hiring an experienced roofer ensures that the job is done right the first time so that you don’t have costly leaks or further repairs later.

There are many home projects that you can tackle yourself, but roof repair is generally not one of them. It is much safer and more cost-efficient to hire a trained and seasoned professional to do the job.

Common Roofing Terms

There are a number of special terms used in roofing that you may not be familiar with. Here is some of the terminology you may run into:

  • Shingle: A roofing element, made of various materials including wood, metal, asphalt, slate, or a composite, which overlap to cover a roof.
  • Cladding: A material that covers the exterior walls of a building. May provide insulation, weather resistance, or aesthetic improvement.
  • Clay tile: Clay is durable as well as fire-resistant. Like slate, it is heavy but typically less expensive.
  • Composition shingle: A type of shingle that is composed of asphalt, fiberglass, and mineral granules.
  • Eave: The portion of a roof that extends beyond the exterior wall line.
  • Flashing: A thin material, usually steel, used to direct water away from areas where the roof meets vertical surfaces such as walls or chimneys.
  • Gable: The triangle-shaped portion of a wall that sits directly under an overhanging roof pitch.
  • Joist: Parallel, horizontal beams that support a ceiling or roof.
  • Slate: A natural material used for roof shingles that is non-absorbent; one of the heavier choices of roofing shingles.
  • Substrate: The surface upon which a roof is installed.
  • Modified bitumenAn asphalt-based roofing material that works best on low-slope or flat roofs. This product is good for extreme weather conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roofing

If you are considering a roofing repair or replacement, you may have a lot of questions. We’re happy to answer any questions you may have about your particular situation, but here are a few common answers that may help.

When should I replace the roof on my home?

Roof replacement frequency often depends on the type of shingles you have, the local weather, as well as how regularly the roof has been maintained over the years. Composition shingles may last from 12 to 20 years, asphalt shingles 15-30 years, wood shingles 20-25 years, and metal roofs as long as 50-75 years. Maintenance is key to having a long-lasting roof. Often it is not necessary to replace an entire roof—you may only need to repair a damaged section.

What are some specific warning signs to look out for?

If you see any of the following problems, you may need to have your roof repaired:

  • Evidence of leaks on your ceiling—darker spots can be signs of water damage from leaks
  • Cracked drywall or peeling wallpaper
  • Loss of granulation from asphalt shingles
  • Missing or cracked shingles

If you’re unsure whether your roof needs repair and you haven’t had it inspected recently, an inspection by an experienced roofer could save you a lot of money and stress.

How often should I have my roof inspected?

Ideally, you should have your roof inspected at least annually. This is an important component of roof maintenance, and it could help you catch problems that start small but could become much more costly later. By the time you notice a leak, a large amount of damage may have already occurred. If it’s been more than five years since you’ve had a roof inspection, it’s highly recommended that you have an experienced roofer look at it as soon as possible.
