So how does the average homeowner with no experience know when its time to have a new roof installed before it is to late??

The Following Factors will Help you decide !!

1.) Curled Up Shingles: This can allow rain to get in, and the shingles are easily damaged by wind

2.) Worn-off Granules: Granules protect the shingle from sunlight and water. If they’re worn off, the shingle will deteriorate. Look for granules in your gutters and by your downspouts. You may see dark spots on the shingles where granules are missing.

3.) Loose Or Missing Shingles: This can cause roof leaks

4.) Cracked Shingles: A common cause of a roof leak. (Nail pops, which are small holes where nails have popped through the shingle, can cause leakage.)

5.) Spots On Your Interior Ceiling: May indicate that the roof is leaking and in need of roof repair. If you notice spots on your ceiling or interior drywall after a rainy day this is the time to get your roof checked out.
6.) Age Of Roof: Depending on the quality, most shingles last 10-25 years. If your home is the same age as others in the neighborhood that are getting new roof replacement work, it may be time to replace yours too.

So If You See any of these traits on your Resedential Roof you should DJR Roofing & Construction Sevices for a New Roof Estimate for those of you living in South Florida.

Hello fellow Real Estate Professionals:

Do you have a listing or a property that needs some roof repairs and or a new roof installed to make the deal happen??  We would be happy to provide you with a competitive estimate on any Roofing jobs in Broward County Florida.

Please beware of the Low Bids that some companies are giving homeowners !!  In today’s market the average cost to replace an existing roof by means of tearing off the old shingles and or tiles and re-roofing the whole roof up to South Florida Codes starts at $ 4.60 per square foot.

Example:

2000 Sq Ft Job would cost about $ 9,200.00 Not Including Permits.

3000 Sq Ft Job would cost about $ 13,800.00 . Not Including Permits

Now these are good estimates based on the average sized job but prices can by all means be higher if there is extensive wood rot or termite damage when pulling up the existing roof.  Please be careful when basing your opinion on who to choose to do the job based solely on price alone.  There are plenty of companies who are just taking the Initial Deposit and starting the job but never actually finishing the job and the house is left in shambles for over 6 months until the Homeowner comes up with more money to hire some one else to finish the job.

All Roofing Contractors pay pretty much the same price for materials and labor so the cost for the job should only vary by 5-10% depending the contractors mood for the day when giving estimates based on the actual work to be performed.

We have seen companies out there which I am not allowed to name that are quoting homeowners prices way below actual Hard Cost to get the job.  Hard Cost is the actual cost the Contractor Has to pay for materials and labor to get the job done and this does not include profits or Permit fees.  So if one company quotes you $ 7,200.00 for the job and the next 2 companies quote you between $ 9,500.00 – $ 11,000.00 for the same job you better pick the company that’s priced in the middle.

I have seen to many homeowners get burned over the years by thinking they are getting such a great deal by using the cheaper guy and it ends up costing them more than double after all is said and done to get the job completed because they did not do there homework on the company first.

Here is how to avoid running into this problem:

1.)  Ask the contractor for addresses of jobs they have completed in the last 3 months
2.) Verify the State License First
3.) Have everything in writing based on what is to be performed before signing on the dotted line.

If you have any questions please give us a call and we would be happy to assist you when you need a Roof Repair or a New Roof Installed in South Florida.
