Expert Tips on Preparing a Roof Replacement Budget

August 11, 2017 by Tonia Hornsby

Your roof bears the brunt of many things each day, from the harsh sun to strong winds. It’s little wonder then that, without proper maintenance, a roof won’t last long. If your roof is no longer as efficient as it once was and you’re planning to replace it, the first thing you should establish is a budget. Complete Exteriors, the top residential and commercial roofing contractor, shares some expert tips to help you: Outline the Roofing Costs

Several factors go into determining your budget. These may be anything from the materials to the damage to the estimated duration of the project. Take a moment to inspect your roof from the ground. Do you see any dark spots that are telltale signs of loose shingles? Or maybe there are sagging areas? Take note of these observations, and consult an expert roofer like Complete Exteriors. After further examination, we can provide you with an estimate on the total cost of the project.

Choose Quality Materials

Once you have an idea of the costs and have decided to push through with the replacement, you should choose a durable material that will last for years. Fortunately, you have numerous options when it comes to residential roofing. Asphalt shingles are one of the most affordable choices while metal and slate are favored for their excellent efficiency.

While the cost is an important factor to consider, spending more for a quality material upfront can help you save on repairs in the long run. As an experienced contractor, we can suggest the best materials that are within your budget for your home’s needs.

Prepare for the Unexpected

No remodeling project, no matter how well-planned, goes smoothly throughout the process. Unexpected bumps can always come up and mess with your schedule and budget. That’s why setting aside at least 5% of your total budget as a contingency fund is essential. This helps cover any emergency expenses, allowing you to easily proceed with the project.

Complete Exteriors did an amazing job. They are super professional, on time, and the quality is top notch. They found things that others had missed and worked with me the whole time. One of key takeaways for me is their service. To have a vendor not only do they job, but also inform and educate you through the whole process is amazing. Damien was on site the entire day during the build, constantly updating and working with his crews. He was even there the next day after the job to ensure all was good to do one last spot check. Even the general manager Eddie came out to ensure all was going right. Another aspect that was awesome is even when I was at work, I was getting a progress report with where they were at with job through today. Even when the materials were delivered, I got an update that showed all the matching lot numbers for every case of tiles. This was in no way a Lowes delivery weeks before the job. This was a managed direct delivery with all matching numbers. I will say, in a world where customer service is becoming less and less, Compete Exteriors is breaking the mold. Again, if you need a roof, give them a call. I feel 100% confident I have a roof for MANY years to come.

Complete Exteriors recently replaced my roof due to hail damage. I was very impressed with the professionalism and quality of the job. As proven by the finished product, they had a skilled team performing the roofing ( and wood replacement where needed. ). They even cleaned up the walkways in the attic. Joe, Damien, and Greg all checked in personally throughout the day to ensure the job was going according to my standards. I would definitely recommend them for any restoration or roof work.

I'd like to compliment Josh Wilson with complete exteriors. Josh handled all the handyman issues that needed to be done after the roof was installed. He took care of everything in a prompt and quality maner.

Complete Exteriors has got to be the most organized, thorough, and efficient roofing contractor any where around. From the initial inspection with an insurance adjuster to installation, I never had to repeat myself nor ask the same questions until I got an answer. The left hand knew what the right hand was doing all through the process and I never had to worry about them following through with what we discussed in the planning stage. They handled all the paper work with the insurance company once I filed the claim. I highly recommend Complete Exteriors to service your roofing, gutter, and siding needs!

I'd like to thank the Gutter installers from Complete Exteriors Roofing & Gutters for doing an outstanding install today, totally changed the look on the front of the house, appreciate the advice on going with the copper penny gutter, it has the look of expensive copper install but without the cost or tarnishing over the years. Professional, friendly, and timely, will definitely be looking at other services they offer.
