We have all heard about roofers taking off with someone’s money and not completing the job. I think most people know them as fly-by-night roofers. There are so many things I could say about that, but to be honest, the best advice is to not pay the roofer in full until the job is done.

How much does a roof replacement cost? It is the question we all want to ask, and keeps us up at night wondering what it should cost. Well I can give you the most cliché answer ever, it all depends. It might be cliché, but that is the honest answer. Let me break it down as much as possible so that you do not have any more sleepless nights.

Truth be told, roofs are among the most commonly overlooked parts of a home. As it is often out of sight, it is also often out of mind. The only time you may start paying attention to it is when you begin to notice leaks.

When we think of roof damages, we can easily blame the heavy rainfall as the main culprit. It usually causes the shingles to get loose, displaced, or missing and allow rainwater to seep in, causing leaks in the house.

When the weather is fine, having a damaged roof could be a minor nuisance. However, it could be disastrous in the colder seasons. If there is already something wrong with your roof, rain or snow could completely ruin it, potentially destroying other structures in your home. To keep your family and belongings safe, you need a sturdy roof—here are a few warning signs you should watch when scheduling roof repairs.
