ROOF INSTALLATION
Phoenix, Arizona

Roof installation is no small task. It’s one of the most significant investments you can make in your home. In Arizona, where the sun bakes the land and monsoons can be fierce, a well-installed roof is your first line of defense.

However, as with any major home improvement project, questions arise. Should you trust the job to a professional? What should you expect from a professional roof installation?

Let’s dive into these questions and explore why choosing a reputable, licensed roofing contractor like Overson Roofing is the best decision for your home’s future.

What to Expect During a Professional Roof Installation

A professional roof installation is not a one-size-fits-all process. At Overson Roofing, we tailor each project to meet the needs of the Arizona homeowner and his specific roof type. Here’s a quick breakdown of what you can expect from start to finish.

Initial consultation and inspection

The process starts with a thorough inspection. Our team will assess your roof’s current condition, check for any structural issues, and discuss your preferences for materials. Whether you’re interested in energy-efficient shingles or a tile roof that complements your home’s aesthetic, we’ll help you select the ideal option.

Material selection and planning

Once we’ve assessed your roof, we’ll help you select the right materials. In Arizona, you need a roof that can handle the harsh sun, and we’ll guide you through options – like reflective shingles or tile roofs – that keep your home cool. We’ll also discuss the cost and ensure we stay within your budget.

Preparation and tear-off

Before we begin installing your new roof, we’ll prep the area around your home. This means protecting your landscaping and surrounding structures from debris. If your current roof needs to be replaced, we’ll carefully tear it off and dispose of the materials properly. Our team works efficiently, ensuring minimal disruption to your daily routine.

Installation and quality checks

Once your old roof is removed, we’ll start installing your new one. This step involves laying down underlayment, adding flashing to prevent leaks, and then installing your new shingles or tiles.

Throughout the process, we’ll perform regular quality checks to ensure every detail is done right. At Overson Roofing, we don’t just throw a roof on your house – we take pride in our craftsmanship and want to make sure your roof is solid and reliable.

Final inspection and cleanup

Once your new roof is in place, we’ll conduct a final inspection to ensure the job meets our high standards. We don’t cut corners, and we want you to feel confident in the work we’ve done. Our team will also clean up thoroughly, leaving your property looking as good as new.

Throughout the entire process, you can count on clear communication. We keep you informed of the timeline, any potential challenges, and the steps we’re taking to ensure your roof is done right. At Overson Roofing, we believe that roof installation should be smooth and stress-free from start to finish.

Why Hiring a Licensed, Local Roofing Contractor Matters

When it comes to roof installation, hiring a professional contractor isn’t just about getting the job done – it’s about getting the job done right. Sure, you can always find a handyman or try to handle the job yourself, but doing so can lead to trouble in the long run.

A poorly installed roof doesn’t just look bad; it can lead to leaks, energy inefficiency, and even structural damage. Without a licensed professional on the job, you might find yourself in hot water down the road.

Hiring a licensed contractor like Overson Roofing ensures the job is done to the highest standards. Our team understands the unique conditions of Arizona’s climate – from the extreme heat of summer to the heavy rains of monsoon season.

We know what materials are best for your roof and how to install them properly, according to state and local building codes. By choosing a licensed contractor, you’re not just getting someone who knows his stuff; you’re also getting a warranty on the work, ensuring peace of mind for years to come.

Additionally, Overson Roofing’s reputation speaks for itself. We’ve been part of Arizona’s roofing community for years, and we take pride in building lasting relationships with our customers. Our work is backed by the trust we’ve earned in local neighborhoods, giving you peace of mind knowing that the job will be done professionally and on time.

Roofing Installation Costs: What Homeowners Need to Know

When it comes to roofing, one of the most common questions homeowners ask is: How much will it cost? Whether you’re dealing with a minor repair or a full roof replacement, understanding the costs involved can help you make an informed decision. Roof installation and repair prices can vary widely depending on various factors, including the size of your home, the materials used, and the complexity of the job.

Roof replacement costs

Replacing a roof is a significant investment, but it’s one that adds value to your home and ensures long-term protection from the elements.

Steeper roofs can be more difficult to work on, requiring additional safety precautions and labor, which can increase the price. If you’re replacing an old roof that has multiple layers, the cost can rise due to the need for additional labor and disposal of the old materials.

Additionally, the material you choose for your roof plays a huge role in the overall cost. The complete replacement could range from $8,000 to $22,000 for an average-sized home.

Labor is also a significant portion of roofing costs, and the price varies based on location, roof size, and the complexity of the job. Roofs difficult to access or higher off the ground may require specialized equipment like scaffolding or cranes, adding to the overall labor costs.

Additional costs

In addition to the main costs of materials and labor, there are other expenses to consider when replacing a roof:

Permits: Depending on your location, you may need a permit to replace your roof. Permit fees can range from $100 to $500 or more.
Removal and disposal: If you’re replacing an old roof, contractors may charge for the removal and disposal of the existing materials. This can add $1,000 to $2,000 to the total cost.
Inspection and repairs: If there is hidden damage under the existing roof, repairs may be needed before the new roof can be installed. This can add additional costs, often ranging from $500 to $2,000.

The Hidden Dangers of DIY Roof Installation

It’s tempting, isn’t it? You see a problem with your roof and think, “I can fix this myself.” While it’s tempting to roll up your sleeves and tackle a roof repair or replacement yourself, doing so would be a dangerous gamble that could quickly spiral into a costly and time-consuming mistake.

Many homeowners underestimate the complexity of roofing, thinking it’s just a matter of slapping on some shingles or tiles. But if you try to take on the job yourself, you might end up doing more harm than good.

First, consider safety. Without the right tools and experience, you risk serious injury to yourself. Falling off the roof is a real danger, and that’s not something you want to deal with, especially when professional installation would be much safer. An emergency room visit from a fall could cost anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 or more, depending on the severity of the injury.

Climbing onto a roof is already risky, but Arizona’s extreme heat makes it even more dangerous. Temperatures can easily exceed 100°F and, without proper protection, you’re putting yourself at risk for heatstroke or worse.

Then, there’s the lack of experience. Roofing involves more than just laying down materials. There are layers to install, flashing to seal, and proper ventilation to ensure airflow. If mistakes are made, they might not be obvious at first, but they can lead to leaks, higher energy bills, and expensive repairs later on.

Lastly, most professional roofing companies offer warranties that protect your roof for years. Many manufacturers also require professional installation to honor their warranties.

If you try to do it yourself and your roof fails, you’ll have to pay for repairs out of pocket. Overson Roofing provides financing options to pay for your new roof as well as warranties on both materials and labor, so you have protection if something goes wrong.

While DIY roof installation might seem like a way to save money, it’s important to consider all the hidden costs involved. In the end, the cost of professional installation is an investment in the quality, durability, and safety of your roof. You’re not just paying for materials and labor – you’re paying for peace of mind and a job done right the first time.
