How Much Will a New Roof Cost?

How Will I Know If I Need a New Roof?
We recommend getting a professional roof inspection by a roofing contractor once a year to ensure your roof is not nearing the end of its lifespan. Common signs you may need a roof replacement include mildew or mold growth, significant leaks or water damage, stains in your attic, and missing or damaged shingles.
Should I Get Sectional or Seamless Gutters?
Seamless gutters are a stronger option for your home, as they are less likely to leak and less prone to damage. Seamless gutters typically have better longevity than sectional gutters and better protect your home from water damage. The cost of gutters varies depending on the size of your home and the type of gutters you choose.
Why Would I Need to Replace My Gutters?
If you are seeing signs of mildew, or water around your home’s foundation, your gutters are not working correctly and should be replaced. If they are coming off the house or starting to sag, they are likely coming to the end of their lifespan.
Why and When Should I Replace My Home Siding?
There are many reasons you may need to replace your siding. Perhaps it is dented, damaged, or dated, and the heat in your home is escaping and hiking up your utility bill. Even if it’s for aesthetic purposes if you’re looking for a new look for your home, changing your siding can be the solution.
How Often Should I Have My Windows Cleaned?
We suggest having at least two professional window cleanings yearly. You can always opt for seasonal cleanings as well.
How Do You Clean Roofs?
To maintain a strong, clean roof that has optimal longevity, our team recommends that you get professional roof cleanings. During a roof cleaning, we will clean and remove any debris, algae, and moss from the roof and gutters using bleach water. It is vital to allow a roofing company to handle your cleanings.
Can You Pressure Wash a Roof?
We recommend you do not pressure wash your roof, as it can potentially cause damage to the materials or leave moisture damage. Instead, let the professionals at A-1 Roofing handle your roof cleaning to ensure no damage is done and your roof is clean and maintained.
