Lakeland’s Top Roofing Company is CB Roofing

A roof inspection typically costs about $216. An average homeowner will pay between $119 and $313, although it can cost up to $600 in some cases. Specific sorts of investigations, such as drones or infrared, may demand an increase in cost.

While you can do a limited roof inspection yourself, you’ll need to call a professional to get a comprehensive inspection done.

There are a number of resources you can use to choose the best roofer for your Lakeland home. 

Friends, family and relatives, coworkers and neighbors may all be excellent sources of knowledge. The Better Business Bureau, local business groups, local licensing bodies and local building material suppliers are other good sources.

Verification of the roofer’s license is also key to hiring the right roofing contractor. This can be accomplished by contacting the licensing board. They should also demonstrate their legal status by providing you with the business address, tax identification number or phone number.

Finally, check to see if they have sufficient insurance coverage. Worker's compensation and liability coverage should be included in the insurance. Hiring an uninsured contractor is a bad idea.

Not every roofing material is suitable for every roof. A flat roof or one with a modest slope may necessitate a different surface than one with a higher pitch. Ultimately, your professional roofer will help you choose the right roof to put on your Lakeland area home. 

Consider the following choices before consulting with your designer and obtaining project estimates.

1. Asphalt. This is the most widely utilized roof material, most likely because it is the least costly and needs the least amount of ability to install. 
2. Wood. For years, wood was the primary material of choice, and it is still a viable alternative, albeit it is prohibited in some locations due to fire restrictions. They have a life expectancy of 25 years (similar to asphalt shingles), but cost twice as much.
3. Metal. Aluminum, steel, copper, copper-and-asphalt and lead are all long-lasting — and pricey — roofing materials. These roofs start at around $250 per square foot but may easily cost twice or three times that amount.
4. Slate and tile. Ceramic and stone are heavy materials; they look great and last a long time, but are expensive and the construction of many homes is inadequate to support their weight.
