CAPITOLA — Host, Sarah Rutan: When dealing with a recurrent roof problem, professional insight can go a long way toward determining an effective solution. Today we’re in Capitola with Diamond Certified Expert Contributor Steve Daddario of Daddario Roofing Company to learn more.
Diamond Certified Expert Contributor, Steve Daddario: Many times we’ll go out to do an estimate for a new roof, and after evaluating the condition of the roof, we’re able to recommend repairing the roof rather than replacing it.
Assuming that the roof was properly installed and has been reasonably maintained, each type of roofing has a typical life expectancy. If you don’t know the age of your current roof, we’re generally able to tell the age of the roof, based on its condition, within a few years. For instance, cedar shakes typically last 20 to 30 years. Composition shingle roofs can last 20 to 35 years, although the newer generation of shingles can last up to 50 years. Concrete tile roofs and clay tile roofs generally last 50 to 60 years, while [00:00:49 unintelligible] built-up roofs, such as tar and gravel, or modified asphalt roofing, typically last 15 to 25 years.
Another good tool to determine whether or not your roof can be repaired is whether the roofing company looking at it can offer a one-year leak-free warranty on the entire roof. If they can and extend the life of your roof, then generally they’re going to recommend repairing the roof. If they can’t, then it’s probably time to put a new roof on. Having options is a good thing. And the option to repair your roof and extend its life is definitely a good thing to have.

Advice for Assessing Roofer Bids

Deciding Whether to Repair or Replace Your Roof

Fluid-Applied Membranes: A Great Option for Low-Slope and Flat Roofs

Video: How to Find a Good Roofer


so
your house needs a new roof you've
gotten two or three prices and as you're
looking at the bids from the different
roofers
you're seeing a lot of variation between
the different bids how do you sort
through that
i think one thing you should consider
doing many times is solicit the help
of the roofers to help explain the
differences between
why one guy's price is so high and
another is so low
hide the price that's on the contract
from roofer a
and send his bid to roofer b let roofer
b and do it vice versa
cover the pricing so you protect that
aspect of the process
but let the other roofers give input as
to why
their proposal may have more merit or
benefit
than the other one also pay attention to
roofers
who pay attention to the details of your
roof
as they say the the devil is in the
details and there's a lot of things that
can be missed roofers can miss them
some guys will catch them but just make
sure there's been a significant
attention to details as it relates to
your roof
and remember too that nobody does
anything the cheapest we don't go to the
cheapest restaurants
cheapest vacation buy the cheapest cars
cheapest clothes we we always buy value
for the money
so remember this uh when it comes to
buying a roof
going cheap isn't where you want to
start that ethic
in your life and most importantly only
give the contract
to the company that has the honor of
earning your trust
so there you go good luck as you find a
good roofer

Video: Silicone Roofing Membranes


the roofing industry has
developed a lot of recent years
especially as it applies to
a low slope or a flat roof system in
particular
we're taking more and more advantage of
silicone fluid applied membranes for a
lot of great reasons
they tend to be a lower re-roof cost
many times you can indefinitely sustain
the life
of your existing roof by going over it
with a fluid applied membrane these
membranes are very easy
to maintain they're hostile to growth
and the silicone coatings are typically
impervious to standing water they have a
tremendous life expectancy
we've seen anecdotally that they last 30
40
or even more years than that and the
other thing about them is
they're energy efficient a white title
24 compliant
silicone membrane can radically cool the
roof temperature and thereby making the
comfort level of the home
inside much more appealing so just so
you know
fluid applied silicone membranes are a
great advance in our industry
and perhaps something you'll be able to
take advantage of
