This depends on the project and square footage required to complete the project. Also, sometimes we may encounter rooted boards that need replacing.

If a Contractor stops by to give you a quote, one of the first questions you should ask, is if they are licensed and insured. Contractor license numbers are very important – companies are required to get them (and display them on their website). It only costs about $50/year, so if a company does not have a contractor number that should be a huge red flag.

Also, appearance matters! If the Contractor stopping by shows up in beat-up old clothes and a rusty truck, trust your instincts. Especially if you’ve gotten comparable bids and you’re suddenly faced with a super low quote. Just ask yourself this question: If the company doesn’t look nice, what will your roof or siding look like when they are done!?

A reputable company will always be licensed & insured, have lots of clients and a long history with loads of amazing reviews from actual home & business owners. Clean uniforms, nice trucks & professional equipment are a necessity.

Unfortunately, some roofers in the Pocono Mountains and NEPA take advantage of unsuspecting customers. Be sure to do your homework! If you think you have a great quote or estimate and you just aren’t sure, a little bit of internet research can do wonders. Does the company have a nice website? Have they put effort into their appearance? How much do they actually care about their customers? What do the reviews say? Have you met the owner?

If a contractor is not (licensed and insured) and something happens, you can become personally liable. Especially if a worker on your job is injured or an accident occurs and your homeowner’s policy does not cover it.

Don’t be afraid to ask a company/contractor to see their Certificate of Insurance, you can even go as far as to call their insurance company to make sure their policy is up to date and has adequate coverage.

Roofing costs vary day to day since many roofing materials are made with oil by-products. When pricing a new roof, we also have to take into consideration how simple or complex your roof is designed and even how steep it is. At Upper Level Construction, we give FREE Roofing Estimates, so we can get you the exact price that it will cost you to replace your roof.

There are occasions where minor roof repairs are an option, but most of the time – when a roof is leaking – it is an indicator of a much larger problem. A small leak can quickly lead to substantial damage, more costly repairs, and even mold issues.

Roofs are built to last a good 20-25 years, if you’re approaching that timeline (or aren’t sure the last time it was replaced) and you’re experiencing any type of roof leaks, it may be time to get a new roof.

Not all roofing contractors are created equal. Just because it’s the lowest bid, doesn’t mean that it’s the best bid available. Are all the contractors licensed & insured? Can they provide you with references for previous work? Do they take an active interest in their company website or internet appearance? Are the photos on their website really photos of their projects/work?

Choosing the wrong company can mean a deal on price today, but costly and expensive headaches fixing mistakes down the road. Trust us when we say, you absolutely want to do this the right way, the first time.

When replacing your roof, there are a lot of determining factors. Age is the biggest one, but also the quality of shingles that were originally installed. It also depends on the proper installation and site conditions of the original install. Some determining factors could also be a case of poor ventilation, improper installation, or usage of wrong materials.

As a homeowner if you want to self-inspect your own roof – look up and if you see dips/sways in your roof that is a sure indication that you are in need of a new roof. If you also see any of the corners of your shingles sticking up OR peeling back, that is also a tell-tale sign that your roof needs replaced.

When it comes to your roof saving money is not what you should be worried about. Hire a professional because, in the long run, it pays off.

If a roof is installed properly and professionally, then your average roof lifespan under normal living conditions should last 20-25 years.

Some really bad signs include: Moss, Greenery, Algae and growth on roofs are not good signs. These are dead giveaways that moisture is constantly on your roof. Moss is one of the worst things that can grow on your roof. That is a sure sign that you have excess moisture in that area. Moisture will penetrate right through your shingles and plywood and start working its way down the house. Moss can deteriorate a shingle, just like how road salt melts ice.

Other important things to look for: When you look up at your roof and see any dips, sways, depressions, or buckling, these are all signs that you are having more severe issues. This could be a cracked or broken piece of plywood. It could also mean that you have a broken rafter.

When you see depressions in your roof it could also mean that you have a soft spot in the roof that could potentially be allowing water to settle. If you have access to look in your attic and you see any moisture spots that’s a clear sign that decay is starting to set in.

If you look up at your roof and see any type of Shingle granulation or parts/pieces of shingles in your yard or on the ground that’s a sure bet that the shingles on your roof are starting to decay and rot and do need to be replaced.
