Residential Roofing

Your neighbor’s roofing costs could be different than yours, even if your homes are identical. Every roof has different conditions such as debris, flashings, cracked tiles that may need to be replaced, etc. We can give you a ballpark, but it is impossible to give you a close number due to all the different variables that need to be seen by a qualified estimator. Things such as roof pitch, substandard or rotted wood, what is currently on the roof like air conditioners, solar panels, etc. There is no easy answer to this question. The price of your roof will vary based on the following factors: • Materials chosen for the project • Square footage/size of your roof • If you are keeping any part of your existing roof • Time and labor required to complete the project Give our roofing calculator a try to estimate a ballpark cost of a new installation. At Champion Exteriors, give us a call, and we can personally guarantee a free and honest estimate on residential roofing services.

Of course! Estimates are always free. We will NEVER charge to come to take a look at your roof, and our sales reps can guarantee an honest estimate.

There are multiple variables on how long it takes to complete a house from start to finish; size, roof pitch, the product being installed, access to the roof, does the roof have a lot of angles, and weather? This question could best be answered when the contractor comes out and inspects your roof and provides you with a free estimate. Most standard-size houses are completed in 3 days, but this could be very based on your roof's uniqueness. The estimator can give you a better idea upon inspection.

A leaking roof is never a good thing. However, it doesn’t necessarily warrant a complete roof replacement. How much repair and work needs to be done on your roof depends on the level of damage caused by leaking. Call us to know whether only minor repair OR a full roof replacement is necessary. Many problems can lead to roof leaking, so it’s important to inspect your roof periodically and check for common warning signs. You can perform this inspection yourself, but hiring a professional at least once a year is a good idea to check for any serious roof problems. At Champion Exteriors, we offer preventative maintenance packages for residential roofs.

Extra care should be taken when handling and/or installing asphalt shingles when the air and surface temperatures are at or below 40° F (5° C). Owens Corning Roofing recommends the following procedures for additional fastening strength and wind blow-off resistance when shingles are installed during cold weather: 1. Hand sealing all shingles along the rake edges: Each should be hand sealed using 4 spots of asphalt roof cement (complying with the ASTM D4586, Type I, or Type II). The four spots of roof cement should be evenly spaced on laminate (architectural) shingles approximately 1 inch from the leading edge of the shingle and pressed in place. Take caution to ensure the asphalt roof cement does not squeeze out beyond the leading edge of the shingle. Be aware that excessive asphalt roof cement can cause the shingles to blister. 2. On Strip (three-tab) shingles, place 2 spots of asphalt roof cement under each tab approximately 1-inch from the leading edge and the corner of each tab. Take caution to ensure the asphalt roof cement does not squeeze out beyond the leading edge of the shingle. Be aware that excessive asphalt roof cement can cause the shingles to blister. 3. Ensure all nails are installed in the common bond (double layer) area on Owens Corning laminate shingles.

Remain calm. Roof leaks are common, so don’t call your roofing contractor yelling at them or consider your leaking roof a personal attack on you. Instead, call your roofing contractor and clearly explain the problem. Again, there is no need to exaggerate the leak; it is important to calmly and clearly explain your situation. If you made the right decisions in hiring a professional roofing contractor, you could expect the leak to be fixed. Roofing contractors often provide warranties on their projects, and even if they don’t, most care enough about their reputation to amend the situation and ensure your roof is healthy. At Champion Exteriors, we offer a 5-year NO LEAK warranty on all of our work. Remain calm, call your roofing contractor, clearly explain the problem, and set a timeline for results.
