The state of Kentucky does not have any formal licensing requirements for roofers, but contractors can optionally get certified by the Kentucky Roofing Contractors Association (KRCA). To be certified by the KRCA, roofing contractors must be insured and bonded and must participate in ongoing education.
You can use a number of criteria to choose the best roofer near you, including:
The best way to estimate how much roof repairs might cost is to talk to a contractor directly, as a large number of factors can influence the price tag. On average, Kentucky homeowners pay about $823 for roof repairs.
Roof replacement costs fluctuate depending on your location, and are affected by factors like the size and accessibility of your roof, the material used, and how many stories your home has. The average cost of roof replacement in Kentucky is about $7,546.
Roof replacement can take between one and five days. The weather in your part of Kentucky can affect how long it takes, in addition to things like the size of your roof and how many levels your home has.
After installation, do a visual examination of your new roof. Make sure that the roof is even and uniform, and that your contractor didn’t reuse any flashing, because this could make your roof susceptible to leaks. Also check for underlayment between the shingles and the sheathing of your house. This also reduces the chance of leaks, and it extends the lifespan of your roof.
