Roofing Questions for Circleville, OH Homes
How long does a roof replacement take?
Many residential roof replacements are finished in a single day once the crew arrives. Larger homes, steep or complex rooflines, more than one old layer to tear off, or damaged decking found underneath can add time. Weather also matters, because shingles go on in dry conditions. Your estimate covers the expected schedule for your house. Learn more about roof replacement in Circleville.
How much does a new roof cost?
The price of a new roof depends on the size of the roof, its pitch and shape, how many old layers come off, the condition of the wood decking and the shingle line you choose. Chimneys, skylights and vents also add flashing work. A free estimate gives you a written price for your home, with no hidden fees. See how new roof installation works.
What should I do if my roof starts leaking?
Move valuables away from the drip, catch water in a bucket and take photos of the ceiling and any wet spots. Avoid climbing onto a wet roof yourself. Then call (740) 823-2710 so a crew can find the source, which is often lifted shingles, worn flashing or a failed vent boot. Read about roof leak repair and what it involves.
Does Insurance Cover Storm Damage? Storm and Claim Questions
Will my homeowners insurance pay for storm damage?
Coverage depends on your policy and your deductible, so only your insurer can confirm it. Many policies cover sudden damage from wind, hail and falling trees, while wear and age are usually excluded. H&R Contractors LLC can inspect the roof and siding and help you document what the storm did before you file. Learn more about storm damage repair and claims.
What should I do right after a storm hits my house?
Stay safe first: keep clear of downed lines and do not climb onto the roof. From the ground, photograph missing shingles, dented gutters, torn siding and any limbs on the house, along with the date. Note water stains inside. Then call your insurer and call us at (740) 823-2710 so a crew can assess the hail damage roof repair or wind damage.
Can you cover an opening before the adjuster visits?
Yes. After wind, hail or tree damage, we can make emergency and temporary repairs, such as tarping an exposed area, to keep rain out of the house. Insurers generally expect homeowners to prevent further damage, so a temporary fix protects both the home and the claim. We document the damage first, so the adjuster can still see what happened.
Exterior and Remodeling Questions
Can I combine a new roof with siding or gutters?
Yes, and many homeowners do. Pairing a roof with new vinyl siding installation or new gutter installation lets one crew coordinate the flashing, trim and drip edge where the systems meet. It also means one estimate, one schedule and one cleanup. We can price each part separately, so you can decide what to do now and what can wait.
Do you handle indoor projects too?
Yes. Along with exterior work, H&R Contractors LLC takes on interior projects such as drywall, painting, flooring, trim carpentry, basements, and kitchen and bathroom updates. Interior repairs are common after a roof leak has stained a ceiling or damaged a wall. Learn more about our interior remodeling contractor services and how a project is planned.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
As a general guide, most homes need gutter cleaning at least twice a year, once in late spring and again after the leaves fall. Homes under large trees may need it more often. Clogged gutters overflow, soak the fascia and send water toward the foundation, so regular cleaning protects the roof edge and the basement. See our gutter cleaning service for details.
