What to Consider When Reroofing?
Contractor Selection
Hiring a reputable and experienced roofing contractor is crucial for a quality reroofing job. Look for licensed and insured professionals with a track record of successful projects. Obtain multiple quotes, ask for references, and verify their credentials before making a decision.
Roofing Material
Choose the right roofing material based on your budget, climate, and aesthetic preferences. Common options include asphalt shingles, metal roofing, clay or concrete tiles, and wood shakes. Each material has its own pros and cons in terms of durability, cost, and appearance.
Roofing Design and Aesthetics
When reroofing, think about the design and aesthetics of your roof. Your roof plays a significant role in the overall appearance of your home. Consider architectural styles, color palettes, and materials that complement the existing design or match your desired aesthetic. Explore different roofing profiles, such as gable, hip, or flat roofs, and determine which style suits your home best. Taking design and aesthetics into account can enhance the curb appeal and value of your property.
Ventilation and Insulation
Proper ventilation and insulation are critical for maintaining a comfortable and energy-efficient home. Ensure that your reroofing project includes adequate ventilation systems to regulate temperature and prevent moisture buildup. Additionally, consider improving insulation levels to enhance energy efficiency and reduce heating/cooling costs.
Roofing Inspections
Before reroofing, it's essential to conduct a thorough inspection of the existing roof. Identify any underlying issues, such as leaks, rot, or structural damage, and address them before installing the new roof. Ignoring pre-existing problems can compromise the integrity of the new roof and lead to further issues down the line.
Warranty and Maintenance
Inquire about warranties offered by both the roofing material manufacturer and the contractor. Understand the terms and coverage provided, as warranties can vary significantly. Additionally, discuss maintenance requirements with the contractor to ensure you understand how to care for your new roof properly.
What to Consider When Residing?
ARCHITECTURAL STYLe
It's important to think about the style, architecture, and time period of your home. Cape Cod, Colonial and Craftsman style homes traditionally use horizontal siding and shakes. Farmhouse style homes tend to use vertical siding like board and batten.
https://diamondkotesiding.com/find-your-style/
Climate Considerations
Consider the climate of your area when choosing siding materials. Some materials may be better suited for certain climates than others. For example, vinyl siding is generally more resistant to moisture and humidity, while fiber cement is more durable and can withstand extreme weather conditions. Make sure the chosen material can withstand the local climate and provide adequate protection against moisture, wind, and temperature fluctuations.
Budget
Determine your budget for the residing project. Siding costs can vary significantly depending on the material, quality, size of the home, and any additional features or customization. It's important to have a clear understanding of your budget to ensure you can afford the desired siding material and complete the project without any financial strain.
Maintenance Requirements
Evaluate the maintenance needs of the siding materials you're considering. Some materials may require regular painting or staining, while others may be low maintenance and only need occasional cleaning. Consider the time, effort, and cost involved in maintaining the siding over the long term and choose a material that aligns with your maintenance preferences and abilities.
Aesthetic Appeal
Think about the overall look and aesthetic appeal you want to achieve for your home. Siding plays a crucial role in enhancing the curb appeal and visual impact of your house. Consider the architectural style of your home, the surrounding neighborhood, and your personal taste when selecting the siding material, color, texture, and style. Take into account how the new siding will harmonize with the existing exterior features.
Professional Installation
Research and choose a reputable and experienced contractor for the installation. Proper installation is essential for the longevity and performance of the siding. You can choose the best product and design, if it is not installed properly it will not last and/or have the desired appearance. Everyone will have their own buying process. Do what makes you comfortable to make the right decision.
There are many sources that give tips of finding the right contractor. Here are a couple of links to reference when you are choosing your contractor.

Steps for a Successful Claim
Step One: Mitigation of Damages
The homeowner is typically responsible for protecting their property from additional damage. Super Siders will, first and foremost, mitigate any immediate concerns. We have many trusted trade partners through almost all aspects of the construction industry, saving you the time and headache of searching for a contractor to prevent further damage.
Step Two: Inspection of Damages
Inspecting the damages sustained and recognizing the repairs necessary to bring your home to pre-loss conditions is crucial. Super Siders will document damages found to your property. We will prepare a damage report for your insurance company if additional evidence is requested to prove the loss to your property.
Step Three: Initiate a Recovery Plan
The claims process will take time. This step ensures our efforts are going towards aspects of the loss that are important to you. After our inspection, we will present all damages and necessary repairs. This will allow the most educated decision to be made for you and your home. We call this your "Claims Road Map."
Step Four: Claim Documents
Often homeowners are required to provide an itemized breakdown of the repairs necessary. Like anyone else, your insurance company will not want to pay for items or costs unless they are justified. Super Siders will provide a detailed itemized estimate, with each item having an explanation/description. For items commonly missed or overlooked, we will provide additional explanations to justify the item's necessity to the project and supporting documentation or photo evidence to reference when reviewing our estimated repairs. Proper documentation can drastically reduce the time the insurance company needs to decide whether coverage applies.
STEP FIVE: Supplementing
Often there will be differences between the estimates provided by a contractor and your insurance company. Super Siders will provide reasoning for each item and the cost we estimate you will incur when the repairs occur. Super Siders will explain why code requirements or repair methods are needed. We aim to agree on an "Apples to Apples" repair with your insurance company. We can not make arguments about coverage. If your insurance company is giving you a hard time with coverage, we can provide you with efficient steps and people to contact.
STEP SIX: Restoration of Property
Super Siders is a contracting company. We are here to make repairs to your property. With steps made earlier, the repairs necessary will be provided. We will not drive a single nail until you approve. All repairs completed by Super Siders will have a lifetime installation warranty!
What Is A Price List?
Price list are a downloadable pricing tool to provide the market price for approximately 13,000 items for about 430 markets in the United States. Price list are uploaded to account for any change in the market price of any of the 430 areas in the United States and are downloadable at least once a month.
Why are Price List Useful?
Xactimate's price lists provide the construction cost for different areas across the country. It can be a daunting task to stay updated on the changing material and labor costs for a single market, yet a lone 430 markets across the country. It can be very useful for companies dealing with markets across the entire country to have a software to update them month for any market they are in.
What Price List Should Be Used?
A couple of price list might be used to ensure that your insurance company provides the most accurate market price for your damaged property. The initial estimate is to determine the actual cash value (ACV) of your loss. This portion on the claim is where price list come in most handy for insurance companies, as they can determine the market value of the damaged property at the time (month) of the loss and the location of the loss. An updated estimate should be provided to account for the replacement cost value (RCV) amount of the loss. The price list should change to the time (month) the repairs were started.
Price list are more of a tool to gauge roughly what should be the cost of the repair, rather than a set in stone measurement of coverage. If you have a contractor that is charging more than what your insurance company is charging there should be justifications to those prices. Most policies allow for the cost actually incurred for the repairs to be completed. If your insurance company is giving you a hard time, just remember this is a tool, not a contracted agreement to determine coverage. When ever you have questions on something like this, speak with your agent and figure out exactly what you policy allows for coverage.

Limit Your Environmental Impact
Energy Consumption and Emissions
The production of asphalt shingles requires significant energy inputs, primarily for the extraction and refining of raw materials such as asphalt and aggregates. The energy-intensive manufacturing process contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, including carbon dioxide and other pollutants, which contribute to climate change.
Raw Material Extraction
The production of asphalt shingles relies on the extraction of raw materials such as asphalt, limestone, and sand. Extracting these materials can result in habitat destruction, soil erosion, and disruption of ecosystems. It can also lead to the loss of natural resources and contribute to the depletion of non-renewable resources.
Waste Generation
Asphalt shingles have a limited lifespan, typically around 20 to 30 years. When they are removed from roofs during replacements or repairs, they generate significant amounts of waste. In many cases, these shingles end up in landfills, where they take up space and can potentially leach harmful chemicals into the environment. Although some recycling initiatives exist, the majority of used asphalt shingles are not recycled.
Heat Island Effect
Asphalt shingles, especially dark-colored ones, absorb and retain heat, contributing to the urban heat island effect. This effect raises local temperatures in urban areas, leading to increased energy consumption for cooling and potentially affecting the surrounding microclimate.
Water Pollution
Runoff from roofs with asphalt shingles can contain pollutants such as asphalt residue, oils, heavy metals, and other chemicals present in the shingles. When rainwater flows over shingles and into water bodies, it can contaminate lakes, rivers, and groundwater, impacting aquatic ecosystems and potentially harming human health.
Lack of Sustainability
Asphalt shingles are not a renewable or sustainable roofing option. The reliance on fossil fuel-derived asphalt and other non-renewable resources makes them less environmentally friendly compared to alternative roofing materials with lower carbon footprints.
Green Since 1948.
Energy Efficiency
Aluminum is a highly energy-efficient material. It requires a relatively low amount of energy to produce compared to other metals. By using aluminum building products, you can contribute to reducing energy consumption during the manufacturing process.
Reduced Carbon Footprint
Aluminum has a lower carbon footprint compared to many other construction materials. The primary production of aluminum requires less energy and emits fewer greenhouse gases compared to materials like steel or concrete. By choosing aluminum, you can help reduce carbon emissions associated with construction.
Recyclability
Aluminum is one of the most recyclable materials available. It can be recycled repeatedly without losing its quality or properties. By using aluminum building products, you support a closed-loop recycling system, which helps conserve natural resources and reduce waste.
Lightweight and Versatile
Aluminum is lightweight and has high strength-to-weight ratio. This characteristic makes it easier to transport and handle during construction. Its versatility allows for innovative design possibilities, which can lead to reduced material usage and waste.
Durability
Aluminum building products are highly durable and resistant to corrosion. They have a long lifespan and require minimal maintenance. By using durable materials like aluminum, you reduce the need for frequent replacements, conserving resources in the long run.
Reflectivity and Insulation
Aluminum is an excellent reflector of light and heat. It can be used in building products like roofing and cladding to enhance energy efficiency. Reflective aluminum surfaces can reduce the cooling load in buildings by reflecting solar heat, leading to lower energy consumption for air conditioning.
