Whether you are building a new home in Weber County or replacing your current one, getting a new roof is a big deal. A good roof will protect your home from all kinds of weather and damage while playing a key visual role in the curb appeal of your house. And not only is quality roof installation important, but it’s expensive too. Before you pull out your checkbook, make sure you have everything in line. It’s a lot to keep track of, so here is a checklist to make your Weber County roof installation go as smoothly as possible.
Decide on what type of roofing material you want
There are several types of roofing materials to choose from and each comes with its advantages and disadvantages. There are cement shingles, asphalt shingles, wood shingles, and metal sheets. The material that is right for your home will depend on where your house is located. In Weber County, for example, you’ll want a material that can stand up to harsh winters with heavy snowfall.
Make a list of potential roofers
Once you know what type of material you are looking for, it’s time to find a team to complete the installation. Ask friends in Weber county or neighbors for recommendations. You can also ask other contractors you may have worked with. It also may be helpful to read online reviews. It’s important to work with a reputable company that will get the job done right.
Get bids from your top choices
Once you have narrowed your list down to a top two or three candidates, it’s time to get some bids. Make sure to ask not only about the price but the potential timeline for the installation. A roof installation can be an interruption in your life, and it’s important to plan it out carefully.
Clear your yard and mow your lawn
Roof installation comes with lots of debris, especially if you are replacing an older roof. Having your grass cut short and your yard picked up will help with the cleanup afterward.
Installation time!
Make sure you are home when your roof installation is scheduled to start. During the installation, be aware that there will be a lot of noise. If you have kids or pets that may be bothered by the noise, or if you are working from home and need quiet, be sure to make other arrangements for the days that the crew is working.
Do a personal inspection and await the official inspection
After it’s installed, be sure to take a look and ensure that everything looks right before the crew leaves. Don’t forget to check your yard as well to be sure that the cleanup is satisfactory. Then your city will send out an inspector to be sure our roof is up to professional standards.
