How to hire a roofing pro in United States
- Verify the state contractor license where required (Florida and California have specific roofing classifications; requirements vary widely by state)
- Demand certificates of general liability and workers' comp insurance — roofing is a high-injury trade and uninsured crews are your risk
- Get 3 like-for-like bids covering tear-off, underlayment, ice-and-water shield, flashing replacement and a per-sheet price for deck repair
- Check manufacturer certifications (e.g. GAF or Owens Corning credentialed installers) — they unlock longer material warranties
- Confirm the contractor pulls the building permit, not you
- For insurance claims, get your own adjuster's assessment before signing any assignment-of-benefits paperwork
- Get both the manufacturer warranty and a written workmanship warranty (5-10 years)
Frequently asked questions
Should I repair my roof or replace it?
Repair when damage is localised — a few slipped tiles, one flashing leak — and the roof is under about two-thirds of its expected life. Replace when leaks recur in different places, more than roughly 30% of the covering is failing, or repair quotes start approaching a third of replacement cost. A good roofer will show you photos from the roof to justify either answer.
When is the best time of year to replace a roof?
Dry, settled weather — and before your region's storm or rainy season, not after it starts. Roofers book out weeks or months ahead of peak season, so schedule inspections early; shoulder-season slots are often cheaper and easier to get.
Is moss on a roof actually a problem?
Yes, over time — moss holds moisture against the surface, lifts tile and shingle edges, and accelerates frost damage. Have it removed by soft washing or manual scraping, never high-pressure washing, which strips granules and forces water under the covering. Zinc or copper strips slow regrowth.
How long does a roof last?
Typical service lives: asphalt shingles 15-30 years, concrete tile 40-60, clay tile and slate 60-100+, metal 40-70, flat membranes (felt, EPDM, TPO) 15-30. Underlayment and flashings usually fail before the covering itself, which is why old roofs leak even with intact tiles.
What should be included in a roofing quote?
Tear-off and disposal, underlayment spec, flashing replacement (not reuse), ridge and valley details, a unit price for replacing rotten decking discovered mid-job, scaffolding or edge protection, and cleanup with a magnetic nail sweep. A quote missing the deck-repair unit price is the classic setup for large mid-job extras.
What is flashing and why do most leaks start there?
Flashing is the metal detailing that seals joints — around chimneys, valleys, vents, skylights and wall junctions. These joints move and collect water flow, so flashing fails long before the main covering. If a roofer proposes reusing old flashing on a full replacement, push back.
How much does a roof replacement cost in the US?
Most homeowners pay $9,000-$18,000 for a standard asphalt shingle replacement, with the full range running roughly $6,000 to $30,000+ depending on size, pitch and region. Metal roofs typically run $15,000-$45,000. Per-square (100 sq ft) pricing of $450-$1,100 installed is the common quoting unit.
Does homeowners insurance cover roof replacement?
For sudden storm damage, usually yes — but many insurers now pay only depreciated actual-cash-value on roofs past 10-15 years old, not full replacement cost. Check your policy's roof schedule, document damage immediately, and be cautious with contractors who want to 'handle the claim for you.'
