Apples to Apples

Are you planning on a new roof this year? As you begin to search for a contractor remember to collect estimates where you can compare, as your grandmother would say, “Apples to apples.” My parents replaced their fence recently. My father selected three fencing contractors and each one came out and gave him a competitive estimates. He quickly found pricing differed based on materials used, workmanship warranties, and installation techniques. When you are doing any kind of construction it’s a great idea to collect multiple quotes in order to find the best price. At Stockton Roofing we suggest that you keep 5 questions to keep in mind as you choose your preferred roofer:

1. Is the contractor fully insured with proof of Liability and Workman’s Compensation? You should never be held responsible for an accident!

2. Has the contractor included ALL necessary components for the roof? (Underlayment or felt, flashings, replacing vents, and including proper removal and haul away). This will help you avoid the “change order” game after the project has started.

3. Is the Contractor licensed and pulling a permit?

4. Who is doing the work? Are the roofing technicians trained and back ground checked? You might consider requesting to visit a project site. See how the company treats the homeowner and the homeowner’s property.

5. What are their Payment Terms and Warranties? Is payment due upon complete satisfaction and passing of the city’s inspection?Is the workmanship warranty for an appropriate time frame after installation to protect you against faulty workmanship?

The 30 Year vs. 50 Year Difference

When it’s time for a new roof it’s an investment you don’t want to make without careful thought and planning. You may be asking, “Should I upgrade from a 30 Year shingle to a 50 Year shingle? What’s the difference?” Most manufacturers’ have upgraded their warranties to a “Limited Lifetime Warranty” for all their architectural shingles. At first glance you may notice a 30 Year and a 50 Year shingle will both have a “Limited Lifetime Warranty.” However, there is a small catch. The 30 Year shingles are still constructed as a 30 Year shingle at the manufacturing plant. This means the manufacturer will cover any defects, but they will not cover normal wear and tear for the roof’s lifetime. The advantage of a 50 Year shingle is that a 50 Year is truly manufactured with upgraded materials. A 50 Year roof is more resistant to wind, wear and tear, and in many cases hail. A 50 Year certainly has its advantages if you live in Fort Collins or the Colorado area where wind and hail are yearly concerns. If you select a 50 Year product you may even receive a premium discount on your insurance policy every year! When choosing roofing products look carefully into the “Lifetime” warranties. Not all shingles are created equal and if you have questions call our office and we’d be happy to help! Keep in mind, at Stockton Roofing we offer FREE inspections. Our Roofing Specialists will arrive at your home on time and will do a thorough roof analysis for you. From there, we will provide you with some of the best options available to you in the roofing market and cover any questions you may have. We look forward to hearing from you!

Quality Workmanship and Your Roof

There are many types of roof materials and manufacturers to choose from when you begin the process of selecting a new roof system. Owens Corning, GAF Elk, Malarkey, and CertainTeed are just a few asphalt manufacturers to choose from. Each manufacturer has Limited Lifetime warranties and each vary depending on the shingle installed. Its great manufacturers offer a warranty, but did you know the warranty may be invalid if the roof is installed incorrectly? At Stockton Roofing we comply with all manufacturers’ directions during the installation of your roof system. We’ve found at Stockton Roofing it’s not as important the kind of roof you install, but who installs it for you. Even though a roof may be new, if it’s improperly installed it may be more of hazard than your current roof system. Our crews of technicians have been properly trained, provide quality workmanship, and manufacturer install compliance. We’ll even go so far as to provide a workmanship warranty up to five years! We also insure that your roof system complies with Fort Collins City code. Proper roof permits are pulled and your roof will be inspected by the City of Fort Collins at the time of completion.

At Stockton Roofing we do it right the first time, so you can have peace of mind for the future.

Is Your Roof Ready for Winter?

Have you been wondering if your roof has hail damage? You’ve come to the right place! Fort Collins experienced two hail storms this summer: one storm in June and one in July.
