Are there energy-efficient roofing options for California homes?
Absolutely! An energy-efficient roof is crucial in California, where the climate varies. Our energy-efficient roofing options are designed to reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat, helping to keep your home cooler during hot days. This means a more comfortable living environment and savings on heating and cooling bills. We offer a variety of energy-efficient materials that are both effective and aesthetically pleasing.
How is old roofing material disposed of in Berkeley, California?
When we replace your roof, we take care of the old roofing materials responsibly. We aim to minimize the environmental impact of our work. Most of the time, this involves recycling the old materials. For example, old asphalt shingles can be recycled to create new roofing materials or in road construction. We ensure the disposal process adheres to environmental regulations and is as eco-friendly as possible.
Do roof Doctors handle all necessary permits for roof replacement?
Yes, indeed. Local building codes and regulations often need to be considered when undertaking a roof replacement project. We understand that dealing with permits can be a hassle, so our team at Roof Doctors takes care of all the necessary paperwork and permits for your roofing project. This service ensures that your roof replacement fully complies with all local regulations, giving you peace of mind and making the process hassle-free.
What happens if unexpected damage is found during roof replacement?
When replacing a roof, we sometimes uncover damage that was not visible initially, such as structural issues or hidden water damage. If this happens, we stop all work and assess the extent of the damage. We then discuss with you what we’ve found, provide you with options for addressing the issues, and only proceed with the additional repairs once we have your approval. We aim to ensure that your new roof is not just new on the surface but also safe and secure in its structure.
ROOF REPAIR TIPS
At Roof Doctors, doing what’s best for the customer is everything. From FREE Roof Inspections to our commitment to roof repair over replacement, we’ll go the extra mile for your roof. In that spirit, we’ve outlined three roof repair situations that every homeowner should think about.
TRUST PROFESSIONALS
A realtor recommended a homebuyer have a roof inspection performed for their upcoming real estate purchase. Roof Doctors completed a roof inspection and estimate recommending $700 in roof repairs and a 2-year Roof Certification Leak Warranty for a total of $900.
The Realtor recommended the homebuyer hire a handyman to do the roof repairs for $590. The escrow closed, rainstorms occurred, and the roof subsequently leaked. Roof Doctors performed a re-inspection of the roof and discovered that the handyman repairs the did were done incorrectly which led to the roof leaking. The new estimate to fix the poorly done repairs and leak was $1000. The Realtor ended up paying for the roof repairs because they recommended a handyman instead of a licensed roofing contractor.
The professionals at Roof Doctors diligently review your roof and wants what’s best for the long-term. Always hire a licensed roofing contractor to do roof repair.
SMALL DETAILS MATTER
Roofing applications for homes with a pitch or a slope less than 2.5 Degrees require a flat-roof application. During many roof inspections, we discover patios, room additions, or even porches have flat-pitched roofs with non-flat roof materials (3-tab or Composition Roofing). These errors usually cause leaking, and serious dry-rot damage in the sub-roofing and can be extremely expensive to fix.
Always obtain a roof inspection on any real estate transaction and make sure any improper roof installations are corrected before taking possession of a dwelling unit.
FLAT ROOF WARRANTIES
Many times, Roof Doctors will be contacted to perform a roof inspection, repairs, or issue a Roof Certification Leak Warranty on a home with a flat roof application. Typically, the only companies that will certify a flat-roof application are the original roofing contractor (provided it’s within their warranty period). Reputable roofing contractors will perform roof repairs but will not provide Roof Certification Leak Warranty on flat-roof applications that they did not install themselves.
It gets complicted when a Mortgage lender requires roof repairs and a Roof Certification Leak Warranty as a condition of funding their loan.
If you have a flat roof and need repairs/certification, we recommend you contact your City or County Building Department to find the contact information of the original Roofing Contractor. If you’re not within their warranty period or they will not work on your roof, you may need a roof replacement.
