Roof Replacement Process

Legacy Roofing: Roof Replacement Process Checklist

 
Client Agreement: Signing of the contingency agreement with Legacy Roofing, LLC representative establishing our working relationship should your claim be approved by your insurance company.
Call in Claim: Contact your insurance company to request that an adjuster come out to inspect your roof. If asked to provide a date of loss, (storm date) you may tell the insurance company that you have been informed of wind/ hail damage on your roof and would like an inspection but are unsure of the actual date of loss.
Adjustment information: Your Insurance Company will contact you regarding the date of inspection (known as the adjustment). We recommend that the homeowner be available at the time of adjustment, but it is not required.
Contact Legacy Representative: Please contact your Legacy Roofing representative with your adjustment date as soon as you receive this information. Your Legacy Roofing representative will meet with your adjuster to negotiate the claim on your behalf.
Adjustment: If the adjuster on your roof approves you for full roof replacement, they will produce a cost estimate that itemizes the amount that they will pay on your claim. This paperwork will accompany your first (ACV) check. Legacy Roofing will use this paperwork to be sure that all damage is accounted for in the claim and that they have produced accurate measurements and diagrams. Should your claim be denied, we can request a re-inspection and usually get positive results.
First Insurance Check: The first thing that you will receive is for Actual Cash Value of the existing roof, or “ACV”. If you are the only party named on the check, you may simply sign over the check to Legacy Roofing, and we can begin the process of ordering materials for your new roof. In most cases, however, your check will also name the mortgage company. If this is the case, DO NOT endorses the check. ?Instead, have your Legacy Roofing Representative overnight on your behalf to expedite Mortgage endorsement first! Legacy Roofing will provide all the necessary docs that mortgage companies require in their endorsement package. Contractor W-9’s, scope of work, estimates are examples of “some” of the docs mortgage requires before they endorse. MOST all mortgage lenders want to sit on your full ACV and dispense in thirds so they gain the benefit of interest on insurance company dollars. Legacy Roofing works for you as the homeowner that incurred the loss.
Contact Legacy for Pick Up:? Upon receiving your insurance check, contact your Legacy Roofing representative and he/ she will pick up your personal check in the same amount of your insurance proceeds made out to Legacy Roofing.
Materials Delivered: Once your check has been picked up, the necessary materials for your new roof will be purchased and you will be informed of the delivery date of those materials. The materials will be delivered directly to your rooftop where they will be stored out of the way until your roofing project is underway.
Scheduled Date to Begin Project: Our office will contact you when your project has been scheduled and inform you of the date in which the work will take place on your home. We ask that on the day/ days that your project is scheduled to take place, please keep all driveways and walkways cleared so that access to your roof will be available for our crews and their equipment. Usually the entire re-roofing process only takes one day.
Final Insurance Check: Upon completion of your project, Legacy Roofing will invoice your insurance company for the remaining cost of your roof replacement. This check will be for the recoverable depreciation value. This check will be the final check from the insurance company and as soon as you receive it, please contact your Legacy Roofing representative for pick up. You may also be responsible at this time, for you insurance deductible per the agreement you have made with Legacy Roofing. This will complete your roof replacement process.

3 Most Popular Roofing Designs

Although it is true that your roofing style will certainly not be the first thing you pick out when designing your home, it is undeniable that the design of your roof is extremely important to your home’s overall look and feel. Roofs come in a wide array of types and styles, and your roof of choice can dramatically change your home’s appeal; it can even make it look like a different home altogether. For that reason, you need to be considerate of the decisions you make when it comes to your roof’s design. Want to know some of your options? Here are the three most popular roofing designs:
Gable roof. This is easily the most common type of roof. It is also the easiest to build. A gable roof is a simple structure created by adjoining two roof lines at an obtuse angle (think of a wide, upside-down V). For houses that are not square or rectangular in shape (L-shaped homes, for example), two or more gable roofs may converge. There a many benefits to having a gable roof; namely, water runs off easily and there is plenty of ventilation. This design may be applied to any type or style of home.
A-frame roof. This style is very similar to the gable roof. It is basically the same thing, except the two roof lines are joined at a smaller angle, creating a more defined upside-down V shape (or, an A | hence the design’s name). The difference between an A-frame roof and a gable roof is that, with an A-frame roof, the roof also creates the walls of the home. Originally used solely in the design of cottages, the A-frame is now a popular roofing choice for houses of all types.
Hip roof. Again, the gable roof may be considered the basis for this type of roof. The difference is that, with a hip roof, the ends (where you would normally see the upside-down V shape) are capped off at an angle, creating a triangle shape (with the point at the top). Hip roofs are appropriate for any style home, but are a little more difficult to construct than the previously mentioned roof types. They are not the best roof style for ventilation or water drainage; however, they are considered a higher-end roof, as they are more complex than many alternative styles.
There is a lot to think about when it comes to caring for your roof. Experienced professionals can advise you on the best ways to maintain your roof.

How Much Should You Spend for a New Roof?

If you are in the market for a new roof, then you already are asking “How Much should you spend for a new roof?” know that a new roof is a big expenditure. However, what you may not know is that the small choices you make here and there can dramatically impact your cost. How much should you spend for a new roof? Here are some things to consider:
Roofing material. The type of roofing material you choose will have a great impact on the overall cost of your roof, as roofing materials vary drastically in price from one to the other. For example, asphalt shingles may cost you $75 a square foot, while slate can cost you upwards of $2000 a square foot.
Other materials. In addition to the roofing material itself, there are other materials associated with the job of roofing that you will have to consider. The type and quality of underlayment, fasteners, flashing, starter strip, and more will determine part of the cost of your new roof. Be sure to ask your contractor about these materials, as well as for guidance on how to cut some costs in that area without undermining quality.
Complexity of the job. Are you replacing an old roof? If that is the case, then you will have to either tear away the old to make way for the new, or install the new roof over the old. If you must remove an old roof first, you can count on having to spend more in labor costs. Also, consider the type and style of your roof. The more cuts, planes, and angles there are, the more you can expect to spend on your new roof. Additionally, if you need new ventilation, gutters, or other options, you will have to pay more for it. All of these things will be factored into the labor cost for the project. Therefore, when you get bids, make sure all of the job’s complexities are outlined thoroughly, and in plain language.
Labor. When it comes to choosing a roofing contractor, it pays to shop around. If you do your homework, you will find that labor costs can vary greatly from contractor to contractor. Generally speaking, you can expect to pay anywhere from $65 to $350 per square foot for labor. While you should never use labor cost alone as the sole determining factor when choosing a contractor, you should definitely choose the lowest bid out of the contractors you deem to be worthy for the job.

When to Know You Need a New Roof

Replacing a roof is a fairly hefty expenditure. For that reason, people often put it off for as long as possible. Unfortunately, there are some circumstances in which you should replace your roof right away, no matter what, and whether you want to or not. Do you fit into this category? Here are three ways to know you need a new roof:
Dips in the roof. It is easy to spot dips in the roof if you back far enough away from your house and look carefully. Dips in the roof are exactly what they sound like: areas in the roof that are dipping below other areas. They are often indicative of either rot or water swell in the foundation of the roof | both signs that it is time to replace your home’s topper. Also, remember that your entire roof should be one flat surface. Otherwise, your roofing material will have a hard time holding and it will be easy for puddles of moisture to build up. For this variety of reasons, you should consider replacing your roof if it is dipping.
Damaged shingles. Shingles that are curling up generally indicate that a roof has reached the end of its life. This is because it is easiest (and most likely) for shingles to curl when they have lost the entirety of their UV coating. You also need to pay attention to the amount of granules your shingles are losing. If it is an excessive amount, then that is a tell-tale sign that your old shingles need to be replaced for new ones.
Leaks. You may be able to stretch the life of a leaky roof with repairs, but if you notice that the leaks seem to be larger, or multiplying, it is likely that you will need to replace your roof altogether. Keep in mind that some leaks are easier to spot than others. While a puddle in the floor is obvious, you also need to be on the lookout for discolorations on your ceiling. Any brown spots are indicative of moisture, which could be coming from a leaky roof.

How to Know What Type of Roof to Choose for Your Home

Are you looking How to know what type of roof to choose for your home?There are numerous factors to consider when purchasing a new roof. For that reason, the decision can be a confusing one, especially if you don’t know where to begin. Need some guidance?

Here are tips for how to know what type of roof to choose for your home

Style. The type of home you have will have a lot to do with determining which roof style you should choose, and different roof styles can dramatically alter the appearance of your home. You may choose from a gable, hip, A-frame, flat, or other less common style; additionally, you will need to decide how steep of a pitch you want your roof to be. Consult with a designer or architect to help make these important structural decisions.
Material. There is a variety of roofing materials to choose from, and the material you use will go a long way toward your home’s aesthetic appeal. Consider shingles, wood shake, tile, and metal when weighing out your options. Also, remember that each material may come in an array of colors and textures. Again, ask a designer for guidance if you are having a hard time visualizing your choices.
Cost. Each type of roofing material comes at a different price point. Asphalt shingles are by far the least expensive roofing material you can choose. Slate is the most expensive. Although cost should not be your deciding factor, it is definitely something you want to consider when weighing out the pros and cons of each type of roof.
Lifespan. It goes without saying that roofs are expensive, and that you will probably want to avoid replacing your roof for as long as possible. Therefore, you need to consider the lifespan of the type of roof you choose . . . and there is a big difference between different materials. For example, you may get over a hundred years out of a slate roof, but only fifteen years out of a cedar roof.
Maintenance. How often do you want to be cleaning your roof? Do you have a lot of overhanging trees that may cause the buildup of debris? Do you live in a humid climate where mildew growth is likely? Are you willing to make small repairs yourself, or will you need to hire a professional? These are all questions you need to consider when weighing out your roofing options, as you will be the one responsible for caring for your roof.

Roof Repair in 3 Easy Steps

Roofs are expensive to begin with. Replacing them can be even more expensive, when you consider the tough job of removing the existing roof to make way for the new one. If you’re a homeowner, then it is in your best interest to avoid a roof replacement for as long as you possibly can. The best way of doing that is to maintain your roof properly. That means cleaning it regularly and repairing it as needed, before small problems erupt into larger, more expensive problems. If you notice that it might be time to pay your roof some TLC, then you will be thrilled to know that fixing a leaky roof is simple enough for you to do yourself. Here is a guide to roof repair in three easy steps:
Find problem areas. Of course, the easiest way to find a roof problem is to identify the source of the leak from the inside of the home. However, you can also easily spot roof problems on the outside of the home, especially if you know what to look for. Carefully examine every row of shingles and look for shingles that are curling up, out of place, or missing altogether. Also, if a shingle comes right off when you pull on it, then it needs to be replaced.
Reshape curled shingles. This part is super easy. Shingles that are curled due to extreme weather conditions are often structurally sound and just need to be reshaped with your hands. If the weather is warm, the shingles should be malleable and fairly easy to bend back into their appropriate shape. During cold weather, shingles become brittle; if this is the case, heat the curled shingles with a blow dryer before reforming them.
Replace damaged shingles. To do this, simply remove any nails that are holding the damaged shingles in place and slide the old shingles out to make way for the new ones. Slide new shingles into place and attach them at the corners (as the previous shingles were attached) using galvanized roofing nails. Cover the back edge of the shingle, as well as the nail heads, with roof cement to seal them and prevent water leakage.
