You can tell that you need a new roof when the one you have starts leaking, sounds rickety, is housing animals, has a hole, or is missing a few shingles. Our roofers have found that might also be time for a new roof if you have had the current one for over 12 years. Roofs don’t normally last this long without developing problems. If yours has missing flashing, curling shingles, broken ice dams, or discoloration, it might be time to call your local roofing contractors at BAAM LLC.

Our expert roofers have found that shingled roofs have a lifespan of between 10 to 60 years. The determining factor is the type of shingles used. The more durable the material, the longer it will last. Asphalt shingles have a shorter lifespan than other options. They can generally last for between 12 to 30 years, in our roofers' experience. On the other hand, a metal roof installation can last up to 70 years, according to This Old House.

Fascia is a vertical board that helps support the tiles of your roof and gutters. The soffit runs horizontally underneath the fascia board and covers the exposed section of the roof. Ventilation is often added to soffit boards by roofing contractors to allow for adequate airflow to the roof.

It can be helpful to clean up your yard of any appliances, tools, or decor before our roofing contractors arrive. This creates a workspace clear of obstacles and protects your property from being damaged by accident. Blocking pets or small children from interfering with the job site will help keep the site safe. Removing any wall decor inside the home is also a good idea, as the vibrations created by roof work could knock them loose.

Knowing the right questions to ask can help you find a quality roofer. Some common questions to consider asking include:

• How long have you been in business?
• What is the experience level of your roofing team?
• Are you insured?
• How soon can you start on my project?
• What type of roofing do you specialize in?

Expect to hear constant banging and noise during the roof replacement. This is due to the hammering, movement of materials, conversations among the workers, footsteps, and other related noises that occur during the process.

Many homeowners prefer to stay outside or away from the immediate vicinity of the roof replacement area due to the excessive noise. If you are not comfortable being in close proximity to noisy areas, it may be best to find an alternative location during the roof replacement.

During roof repairs, it is important to be aware of falling debris. If you choose to stay at home during the roof replacement, be prepared for the possibility of objects falling. This is especially common when the old roof is severely damaged and requires a complete replacement. The roofing job involves handling various parts and materials that can pose a safety risk.

In addition to dealing with loud noises, managing falling debris can be stressful. However, a reputable roofing contractor will take measures to keep your house safe. For example, they will ensure that the ceiling is properly installed and strong before starting the roofing project, which can make staying at home more manageable.

To further mitigate risks, you can consider the following:

• Temporarily move to safe spaces until the work is completed.
• Ensure your indoor and outdoor furniture is adequately covered during the reroofing project.
• Stay outdoors during the day and only move inside when the day's work is finished.
• Take precautions to avoid active paths and work areas until the work is completed.

Falling debris can cause significant damage and pose injury risks. It is crucial to take proper precautions before the work begins.

The duration of a roof replacement project can vary depending on several factors. Typically, a qualified roofing contractor may take a few days to complete the task. It's important to be prepared for the conditions mentioned earlier in our conversation.

Several factors can influence your overall experience during the process:

Weather: If you have experienced storm damage and the weather forecast indicates rainy days, it might be advisable to consider moving your valuables to a different location while the roof replacement takes place.

Materials used: The type of roofing materials selected can impact the duration of the project. Some materials are easier to install and may only require a few hours or a day to complete, while others may be more demanding and require more time.

Quality: Providing your roofing contractors with a conducive work environment can help facilitate a smoother and more efficient completion of the project. If you ensure that you are satisfied with the chosen materials and the agreed-upon plan, there will likely be no issues when staying inside during the replacement process.
