The most affordable and widely used roofing material is asphalt tiles, but other materials, including wood, metal, and slate, last longer and provide higher insulation and durability. Glass solar shingles, which can generate electricity, are another alternative for sustainability. The most sustainable option and absolutely THE LEAST EXPENSIVE is to rejuvenate the existing shingles to extend the life for 5 yrs or more with additional treatments.

You might be wondering if the roof warranty is transferred to the new owner during a property sale. The ability to transfer an existing warranty when purchasing or selling a house can be a strong selling feature. One of your major assets is protected by the roof, which is why having a warranty in some situations can save costly repairs running into the thousands of dollars. In general, roofing warranties do pass to the new owner; but, if you're a potential buyer, there are many other things you should be aware of. The existence of a warranty by the seller does not automatically entitle the customer to protection. Not all roof warranties provide the same coverage, some don't transfer, and some might not even exist.

The majority of individuals don't consider a warranty unless there is an issue. The same is true for simple household devices and appliances, as well as for elaborate and pricey roofing systems. Depending on the roofer, the contractor will decide the length of the labor warranty and its value after the roof has been built. If a defect in the craftsmanship causes your roof to malfunction while the warranty is still in effect, you may not be entitled to advantages like discounted or even free repairs. Extended warranties are occasionally offered if you are using a preferred contractor. Often these warranties are backed by the manufacturer and if you choose a company like DreamHome you are covered even if the issue is workmanship related. Some manufacturers come out and do their own third party inspection of the finished job as well. All of this points to the fact that warranties can delay the deterioration or damage to your roof, and even if it occurs, you can still simply restore it or rejuvenate it with RoofMaxx from DreamHome (see our Roof Restore page or give us a call for more information). Overall, roof warranties are unquestionably worth the additional expense, particularly if you choose an expensive roof. If and when it malfunctions, you'll want some sort of assurance that the manufacturer and/or the contractor will uphold in order to preserve your investment.

There are a some issues that you may wait on, but not a leaky roof. Damage from water is a severe issue. On your list of home maintenance needs, a leaking roof should be the top priority. Numerous factors, including poor roof installation, wind or storm damage, and poor maintenance, may cause leaky roofs. Or maybe it's just time to replace your roof. Remember that the majority of roofs are only intended to last 20 to 25 years especially in our volatile DMV area climate. Mold and mildew development is one of the most detrimental long-term effects of a leaky roof. Mold may infect carpets, furniture, and even clothes as it spreads throughout the home's structure, the HVAC system, and the remainder of the house via the vents. The most frequent kind of mold caused by persistent water incursion is black mold. Although harmful black mold development is uncommon, even non-toxic black mold may damage wall and floor coverings, ceiling tiles, and timber frame. Mold is expensive and hard to get rid of. Once mold is established, it continues to create spores, which may cause allergic responses, asthmatic symptoms, and other more significant health issues. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, mold and mildew may cause major health problems, particularly for those with high sensitivity, such as nasal congestion, rhinitis, inflammations, and asthma.

Do your homework before hiring a roofing company to come assess your roof. Learn what a roofer or salesman will be conveying to you so that you may prepare the appropriate questions. Remember, not all roofing contractors have local offices, and the state of Virginia and Maryland does require licensing but not that you have a physical location. Therefore, confirm that anybody you use has a license, bond, and insurance. Additionally, you should educate yourself to avoid being duped and having to replace your roof when it still has a lot of useful life remaining in it. Carefully look through the evaluations of each firm to find one that best suits your requirements and responds to your inquiries.
