How much does it cost to replace a roof?

There is no simple answer to how much the bottom line will be for your roofing project.

The average cost to replace a roof runs from approximately $2.500.00 to $12,000.00 depending on the size of the roof and the quality of the workmanship and materials.

Should I have my chimney looked at before I have roof work done? 

If the chimney requires any maintenance or repair, the best time to work on it is before a new roof is installed. Coordinate the chimney mason with the roofing contractor and yourself to make sure all chimney flashing and chimney repairs are completed properly before the new roof is installed. Apex Roofing can assist you with the coordination of these projects.

How do I know when I need a new roof? 

When evaluating composition roofing look for gradual loss of granules that may accumulate in the gutters. As the roof ages you may notice that the edges of the shingles start to curl or split. This is caused by the asphalt leaching out of the shingle over many years. 

What measures are taken by Apex to protect my home and landscaping during the roof removal or repair?

We are very conscientious and have many techniques to protect your property. We strive to keep most the roof debris from falling to the ground, by using plywood, tarps and good judgment to protect your siding, landscape, gutters and outdoor lighting.

Do you use stapes or nails?

Though some companies use staples to install their shingles because it is cheaper, Apex only uses treated roofing nails specifically made for roofing. Nails will secure the shingles to the roof deck better and you will have less chance of your shingles blowing off from high winds.

What causes the stains on my old roof?

The stains you see on your old roof are a result of algae growth. More time than not this algae growth is more prevalent on the North and East facing slopes, due to less sun exposure. Apex shingles are treated to resist algae, to prevent the staining.

What is an ice dam?

An ice dam is an area on the roof that tends to build up with ice. Water can then back up under the shingles. This is a direct result from poor ventilation and constricted drainage areas. Apex can often eliminate ice dams through ventilation and installation of ice shield along the eaves , valleys and other roof projections.
