Roof Replacement in Downtown Newark, OH: what actually fails

Downtown, a replacement is usually a commercial job on a masonry building from the 1870s to the 1920s. Where the roof is low slope behind a parapet, the membrane, the parapet caps and the outlets are priced together, and getting materials up from a street around Courthouse Square is planned before the start date.

The Newark Downtown Historic District, listed in 2002: a commercial core built from the 1870s to the 1920s around Courthouse Square and the 1878 Second Empire Licking County Courthouse.

03Sequence

From first call to finished

Every job ends with its paperwork: written quote, permit record, warranty papers and photos of the work.

01

Call with what you are seeing

The address, what is happening, and anything you already hold: an old invoice, a warranty card, the year the roof went on.

02

Look before any price

The slopes, the details that fail, then the attic where there is one.

03

A written quote, offices checked

The work in plain language, the materials by name, and on a replacement what the City of Newark and Licking County need for the job, settled before anything starts.

04

The work, then the folder

Photographs of the deck, underlayment and flashing before they are covered, a walkaround before the final payment, and the paperwork handed over: contract, permit record, warranty papers, workmanship terms.

04Before we arrive

What to do before anybody climbs a ladder

  1. Catch the water and photograph itA bucket under the drip, belongings moved, and a few dated photographs of the stain before anything is touched. Keep clear of wet ceilings near a light fixture and switch that circuit off if it is safe to.
  2. Find whatever paperwork the roof hasAn old invoice, a warranty card, the year it went on, the name of whoever did it. Even a partial record narrows the search and can keep an existing warranty in play.

Note 01How often should a roof be replaced?

When it stops being repairable, not on a calendar. Asphalt shingles are generally rated at 15 to 30 years and metal at 40 to 70, but a roof is done when it leaks in several places, sags, or needs a new repair every season, and not before.

Note 02What is the most expensive part of replacing a roof?

Usually labor on a complicated roof, and decking nobody could see until the old roof came off. Valleys, dormers, chimneys and steep pitches add cutting and flashing, and soft sheathing is priced per sheet once it has been counted and photographed.

Note 03Is a 10 year old roof considered old?

No. Against a rated life of 15 to 30 years for asphalt shingle, a ten-year-old roof is in its middle years. If it is leaking or shedding shingles at ten, the cause is usually a detail or the installation, which is exactly when its warranty papers and installer's name matter.
