Nothing is more frustrating to learn than that one's roof has started to leak. The first thing that goes through one's mind is all the money that it will cost to get it repaired. These leaks could be due to many different problems but with Smyrna roofing contractors they will be able to determine exactly where the problem is and will give an estimate on the amount they will charge to repair it or have it replaced.

If one has had the same shingle roof for about twenty or twenty five years it is considered a good time to have it replaced. If there is more than one layer of shingles and the older one is under the new and one is sure that the original is over twenty years old rather have a professional come out and inspect it. All roves need to have proper ventilation and the contractor will be able to assist with that if not sure.

Every roof needs to be inspected regularly so as to confirm that there are no problems. Contractors will be needed when there is damage after a really bad storm due to winds as well as hail. It is advisable to first contact the insurance carrier to find out if the damage done is covered.

Different contractors will vary in prices but in general a new asphalt shingle roof will set one back about four thousand dollars. It is always a good idea to surf the web and read the reviews of those that one is able to find. Word of mouth is also a very good choice but never just take the first one that happens to spring up on the computer screen.

According to a home improvement company, Homewyse they say that cost of a shingle roof per square foot can range from five to seven dollars. All together for a two hundred square foot roof will set one back about one thousand to one thousand four hundred dollars. For a one thousand two hundred square foot home it could be as much as six thousand dollars.

Many contractors will say that the asphalt is the best roofing option which is then followed by wood, metal, tile and lastly slate. A metal roof can start at about three hundred dollars to one thousand five hundred per one hundred square feet. A survey taken indicates that for a metal roof installation it can set one back as much as twelve thousand dollars but it will last for over fifty years.

If there is significant water damage which many times is only noticed after the roof has been removed it could make the price even higher. Something else that will affect the cost is if the home has skylights and chimneys. This is because the workers will need to work around them which is not as straight forward as it might seem.
