Residential Roofing
Introduction to Residential Roofing
Residential roofing is a complex field that involves a variety of terms, materials, and processes. One of the first terms you’re likely to encounter is the “roofing square,” a unique unit of measurement used in the roofing industry. In roofing, one square equals 10 X 10 ft., or 100 sq. ft. This unit of measurement determines how many shingles you’ll need for every 100 sq. ft. of rooftop. As you prepare for your roofing project, you’ll use squares to determine the amount of roofing materials you need, from asphalt shingles down to the underlayment
Lifespan of Asphalt Shingles
There’s no specific “expiration date” for an asphalt shingle. Factors like weather, geographic location, manufacturer, moisture, UV rays, and others, can all factor into the condition of a particular roof. However, there are some easy-to-spot indicators to the overall condition of your shingles that can help determine when it is time for a new roof. It’s important to consider not only exterior roof damage like curling shingles or moss but also potential interior damage that could be more significant to your home’s health
Types of Asphalt Roof Shingles
When it comes to replacing your roof, you have a plethora of options. Asphalt roof shingles come in all different types, styles, and colors. For example, popular asphalt shingles like GAF Timberline HDZ typically require about three bundles to cover one roofing square. Understanding how shingles are bundled is the first step in accurately estimating the materials required for a roofing project
Estimating Roofing Costs
Estimating the cost of a roofing project involves considering many variables that are specific to your roof, your preferences, your budget and goals, and even where you live. The complexity of your roof, the type of shingles you choose, and the number of roofing squares needed are all factors that will influence the cost of your roofing project
Conclusion
Residential roofing is a significant investment, and making an informed decision is crucial. Understanding the basics of roofing measurements, the lifespan of your shingles, the types of shingles available, and how to estimate the cost of your project can help you navigate the process more effectively. Always remember to consult with a professional roofing contractor to ensure your roofing project is handled correctly and efficiently.

In California, anyone who contracts to perform work that is valued at $500 or more in combined labor and materials costs must hold a current, valid license from CSLB. ALERT Unlicensed operators pose a risk to you and your family’s financial security.
Contractor insurance acts as a safety net, covering any damages that may occur during the project. This means that if your property sustains damage due to the contractor’s work, their insurance will be responsible for covering the costs.
Contractors commonly use a surety bond (referred to as a “contractor license bond”) where a surety company promises the State of California that it will pay damages if the contractor violates contractors’ state license law.
