You’ve lived in your house for decades and it’s finally time for you to replace your roof. Before jumping into the process, there are a few key questions to ask your trusted roofing contractor. In Anchorage, Action Roofing Services is the leading provider of roof installation services, and they know what’s important to find out before beginning any re-roofing.

Check out these smart questions to ask before your roof replacement:

• How Long Will the Replacement Take? This is a basic question you have to ask with every construction or renovation project you undertake, but it’s even more important information when your home will be exposed to the elements. Knowing how long the job will take allows you to plan your schedule in advance so you can either free up that time to be present or find other ways to occupy your time if you don’t want to be home. Weather considerations are also a factor—work with your contractor to determine the best time to perform the replacement on your home.
• Will the Home Be Livable During the Replacement? This is especially important if you have young ones at home. Roof replacement makes a bit of a ruckus, so you might need to make arrangements to stay someplace else if you don’t want to be disturbed. If you don’t mind some activity going on around you, the good news is that most jobs would not require you to move out, unless a considerable amount of structural work needs to be done.
• Should I Upgrade to a More Eco-Friendly or Efficient Material? Eco-friendly roofing materials are now available to homeowners in every region. Upfront costs tend to be higher than conventional roofing options but eco-friendly roofs are more heat reflective, efficient, and durable. You should also ask your contractor if it’s a good idea to switch to these options because some might work better in specific types of climates.

If you want your roof replacement to go smoothly and your roofing system to last longer, asking the right questions can help.
