Hearing the news that you need a roof replacement doesn’t scream fun, but if you hire an experienced roofing contractor, the process is easier and—dare we say—fun. Maybe that’s a stretch, but look at your new roof as an opportunity to give your house an updated look and curb appeal, not to mention the protection your home needs.

The wide selection of materials and colors to choose from may seem overwhelming, so let’s take a look at some of the top roofing trends of 2024:

1. Eco-friendly Materials – homeowners are opting for sustainable materials such as recycled shingles and metal and sustainable wood. Durability, long-term savings and energy efficiency are some of the benefits sustainable materials offer.

2. Statement Colors: even roofs can add to your home’s curb appeal. Gone are the days of just brown and gray roofs. From robust reds to blue and even green hues, the options to make a statement with your roof are abundant.

3. Metal Roofs – metal roofs offer a modern and sleek look that come in a variety of styles including metal tiles, corrugated panels and standing seam.

4. Shingle Roofs – architectural shingles add a luxury look to your home white staying at an affordable price point. Adding texture to roofs, the shingles add another dimension to a roof’s aesthetics.

5. Solar Roofs – in an effort to reduce environmental impact, reduce bills and improve energy efficiency, solar roofs are on the rise. Solar shingles are a popular choice as they sit flush with the other shingles, seamlessly blending your roof, so all you’ll see are the savings!

6. Accents – don’t forget about the gutters and trim. Black is in, and many homeowners are choosing black gutters and trim, over the standard white, to add a pop to their home.

Whether your focus is on sustainability, curb appeal, or budget, you’re sure to find a roof that best suits you and your home. And now you know what’s up – with roofs in 2024.

When purchasing your homeowner’s insurance policy, it’s helpful to know that there are different options of coverage for various parts of your home, including your roof. The two most common types of coverage are Actual Cash Value (ACV) and Replacement Cost Value (RCV) policies. 

Let’s compare the two:

ACV

• Provides coverage for the cost of replacing your roof minus depreciation
• Will payout based on the current value of your roof
• The age and condition of your roof is taken into account when determining how much to pay out for a claim
• Generally have lower premiums

If you have a roof with a 20-year lifespan, and it is damaged to the point of needing a replacement after 10 years, you will likely receive about 50% of the cost of replacement.

RCV

• Pays out the entire cost to replace your roof without accounting for depreciation, minus deductible
• Generally have higher premiums

What should you consider when choosing the type of roof replacement coverage?

• Age and condition of the roof
• Weather elements where you live
• Budget for premiums

Protecting your home’s structural integrity starts with your roof. But, where do you start with knowing what’s going on up there? 

By hiring a qualified roofing contractor. A roofing contractor will inspect your roof for tears, holes, rot or any other damage that can be a threat to the integrity of your home. 

We all likely feel the same – house issue = a headache. Hiring an experienced and trusted roofing contractor will lessen any headaches and help with a smooth repair or replacement process. 

Here are some top tips for what to look for and ask when seeking out a roofing contractor:

1. Are they licensed and insured?

2. Does the company have manufacturer certifications?

3. Did the contractor provide an estimated lead time and project timeline?

4. Did the contractor do a thorough inspection of the roof, attic, and surrounding property with before photos?

5. Did the contractor provide a detailed scope of work?

6. Does the company have a good reputation with verified reviews online?

7. Are they willing to provide addresses of other completed projects in the area?

8. Did the contractor allow you to ask questions and voice any concerns during the estimating process?

Lastly, research. Research and compare contractors, ask family, friends, and neighbors about their experiences, read online reviews, and visit contractor’s websites to read about their services and company
