At Rebel Roofer, we are pioneering BS Malarkey shingles in the eastern region, offering homeowners superior roofing solutions. Here are the top five most frequently asked questions:
The cost of a new roof depends on various factors, including the size of your roof, the complexity of the installation, the slope of the roof, and the materials and accessories used. On average, a roof replacement for a typical family home (20 squares), defined as a 10′-0″ x 10′-0″ = 100 SF of roof area, costs around $12,675–$14,875. While premium options like SBS Malarkey shingles are priced higher due to their superior quality and durability, we are excited to offer them at a special introductory rate comparable to oxidized asphalt shingles, which offer less lifespan and fewer benefits.
This limited-time offer is available until the end of summer to introduce the exceptional value of SBS Malarkey shingles.
The lifespan of your roof is determined by the materials used and the local climate. Traditional asphalt shingles typically last between 12 and 20 years, while SBS Malarkey shingles can last upwards of 30 years due to their advanced polymer modification, offering enhanced durability and weather resistance. Standard shingles, although stated to last 30 years, often offer less lifespan and fewer benefits in practice.
Common signs of a failing roof include loose or missing shingles, sagging, exposed nail heads, curled or cracked shingles, and water leaks. Granules in your gutters can also indicate shingle deterioration. SBS Malarkey shingles are designed to resist these issues, providing superior protection and longevity. SEE OUR BLOG
The timeline for replacing a roof can vary, but most projects are completed in 1-2 days. Factors affecting this timeline include the size and complexity of the roof, weather conditions, and whether the existing roof needs to be removed. SBS Malarkey shingles are designed for efficient installation, ensuring a quick and hassle-free process.
At Rebel Roofer, we combine quality, durability, and aesthetic appeal in our roofing solutions. If you have any more questions or need a quote, don’t hesitate to reach out!
Shoddy installations are a significant cause of roof failures. Poor installation practices, including inadequate training, improper techniques, and failure to follow manufacturer guidelines, contribute to many of these failures. These issues can result in weak spots, gaps, and inadequate drainage, compromising the roof’s integrity and making it more susceptible to damage from weather conditions. Ensuring that your roof is installed by trained and certified professionals who adhere to industry best practices is crucial to preventing these types of failures.
At Rebel Roofer, we prioritize quality and precision in every installation. Our team is trained, ensuring that we follow the highest standards and manufacturer guidelines to provide you with a durable and reliable roof.
SECURE CHOICE - HIGH-PERFORMANCE ROOFING SYSTEM
A new roof is a cohesive, coordinated system, consisting of 5 key components. In order of installation, they are:
1) Ice and water barrier at eaves, rakes, valleys, and penetrations
2) Malarkey Underlayment – Secure Start Plus
3) Malarkey Starter Shingles
4) Roofing shingles, and
5) Hip & ridge shingles.
We call the complete system, Secure Choice™.
Installed together, the roof performs better, and can be eligible for enhanced warranty coverage via Malarkey Certified Contractors.
PROTECTING YOUR HOME AND YOUR LOVED ONES: 21 POINTS ROOF INSPECTION
During our roof inspections, we carefully examine the interior and exterior of a roof. Each one is different, so our inspection process will vary
- Assessing the roof’s structural integrity
- Evaluating the condition of the roofing materials
- Checking soffits, fascia, flashing, and other roof components
- Inspecting attics and upper floors to assess the roof’s ventilation
- Looking for signs of leaks
- Inspecting areas where vents, chimneys, skylights, and other features penetrate the roof
- Examining gutters and downspouts for blockages or damage…..
