Read Roofing Guides for Homeowners →Before you call a roofer
Most homeowners buy a roof once or twice in their lives. The National Roofing Directory's guides walk through the common projects, from repairs and full replacements to storm damage, metal and flat roofs, so you know what to expect before a contractor arrives.
- Know whether you need a repair or a replacement before you collect quotes.
- Ask every contractor to itemize tear-off, underlayment, flashing, ventilation and disposal.
- Storm damage may be covered by insurance, so document it before anything is repaired.

The Complete Roof Repair GuideWhat repairs actually cost — from $150 shingle patches to $3,000 structural fixes — the warning signs worth acting on early, and how insurers treat storm damage differently from ordinary wear and tear.
