There are some things you will need to know before you pick up the phone. First, check your insurance policy to ensure your roof is covered — sometimes insurance companies may only offer cash values for older roofs, which could ramp up your out-of-pocket costs. Be aware that the age of your roof can have an effect on your coverage. Some insurance companies will not cover a roof replacement on those that are older than 20 years (the typical lifespan of a roof); obviously, 20-year-old roofs will be more susceptible to damage than newer roofs.

Know your roofing tile options before you dive deep into replacement
If you are starting to think about the entire process, you might as well start researching what type of roofing materials you want. Some tiles are durable but expensive. Others may not fit with your style of home. There are so many types out there, even damage-resistant tiles, or solar tiles on which Summit Roofing Solutions can advise you.

‘Tis the season to search for ‘roofing companies near me’
When it is time to replace your roof, you will need to understand that timing is everything – unless there’s a hole in your roof and rain is dripping through the ceiling. Roofing companies are busier in the warmer months, so you may want to schedule your roof replacement outside of the off times. While it is impossible to predict when a hail storm will appear, or more important, cause damage enough to require a roof repair or replacement, understand that you and many other homeowners in Greeley will likely be in the same predicament. You may end up having to schedule your roof repair or replacement much later than you anticipated — especially if you have dealt with a recent catastrophic storm.
That is when out-of-town roofers swoop in. It’s the law of supply and demand. Roofers come in when there is extreme demand to compete for the work, of which there is a great supply. While not all are unscrupulous, you should always be wary of the door knockers promising a bit more than they can deliver. Colorado law makes it illegal for roofers to rebate a homeowner’s insurance deductible. Some roofing companies may also try to be the “low bid,” of which you also should be wary. Some would say the unusually low bid could end up equating to substandard work. Read more about the Consumer Protection/Residential Roofing Bill of Rights.
