What callers askabout a new roof
How much does a roof replacement cost in El Paso?
Four things set it. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso prices each new roof after a free inspection. Roof size and pitch, the layers to tear off, the decking’s condition, and the roofing material decide the number on your written estimate.
What is the 25% rule for roofing?
Here, it’s a permit line. Inside the City of El Paso, a residential roof covering permit is required when 25% or more is replaced. A full roof replacement from Lifetime Roofing of El Paso is over that line.
Does homeowners insurance pay for a new roof?
Your policy decides. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso doesn’t need a claim to inspect your roof. If you file one, we document the damage and write the estimate, and your insurance company makes the call.
How do I replace my roof if I can’t afford it all at once?
Ask about financing. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso has financing available for a new roof, and we offer a 5% military discount. Ask about both when you call (915) 353-3934.
Daniel Smith, our manager, is your one contact from the first call on your roof replacement through cleanup. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso has been family owned since 2009 and in El Paso since 2019. Our prices sit in the fair middle of the market.
How a roof replacement goes,roof inspection to warranty paper
1
Call for a free roof inspection
Dial (915) 353-3934 at any hour. Every caller gets a free inspection, insurance claim or not.
2
Free estimate in writing within 48 hours
You get our price on paper within 48 hours of the inspection. Line it up against other quotes on shingle grade, underlayment, flashing, deck work, and warranty, since quotes aren’t always like for like.
3
Tear-off of the old roof
The old roof comes off, layers and all, down to the decking, the boards your roof sits on. Any open roof gets tarped each night, and that matters most in the June 15 to Sept. 30 monsoon.
4
Decking check, then the new roof
With the decking bare, we check it for soft, wet, or rotted boards. Our own crew then installs the new roof. The 2021 International Residential Code, which El Paso has adopted, calls for drip edge at the eaves and rakes.
5
Magnet sweep and warranty paper
We run a magnet sweep for nails, then hand you the warranty paper at the end of the job.
Lifetime Roofing of El Paso rates a roof slope by slope and quotes a repair when a repair will do. How much is damaged, the roof’s age, and the decking decide it.
An aged roof opened at the ridge
We quote a repair when
The damage sits in one spot or on one slope.
The decking under that damage is still solid.
The shingles around it still flex without cracking, so we can tie a repair in.
We quote a new roof when
The damage runs across a slope.
The decking is soft or rotted.
The shingles crack when flexed, or show alligatoring (surface cracking), stair-step splits, or granule loss that bares the asphalt.
26 daysat 100 degrees in an average year (1991-2020)
Heat ages asphalt shingles, south-facing slopes first. IKO’s Cool Colors Plus shingles carry an SRI of 20 or more, a measure of how well a roof rejects sun heat. IKO sells them only in certain regions.
Wind
84 mphpeak gust on record
IKO rates its Dynasty shingles at 130 mph, and Cambridge at 110 mph, or 130 mph with High Wind Application. Its Marathon Plus AR 3-tab is rated at 60 mph.
Hail and storm damage
Class 3 or Class 4
IKO lists its Cambridge and Dynasty shingles at Class 3 for impact and Nordic at Class 4. Nordic is sold only in select markets.
On foam roofs and roof coatings, the lifetime warranty covers our workmanship, and recoating on schedule is normal maintenance the owner pays for. Tarping and inspections carry no warranty.
More questions aboutreplacing your roof
Can you put new shingles over my old roof?
We tear it off. Every replacement from Lifetime Roofing of El Paso includes tear-off of the old roof. The 2021 International Residential Code bars a recover where the old roof is water-soaked or deteriorated, or already has two or more layers.
Will impact-rated shingles lower my insurance?
Ask your agent first. The Texas Department of Insurance says tested roofing may be eligible for a discount, with Class 4 earning the highest credit. Each insurer sets its own amount, so get that number before Lifetime Roofing of El Paso writes your estimate.
Does the shingle warranty cover hail?
No. IKO says hail damage isn’t covered under its limited warranty, and its impact rating isn’t a guarantee against hail. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso prints the maker’s warranty beside ours, so you can read those terms yourself.
Does a Limited Lifetime warranty mean forever?
Read the maker’s terms. IKO puts its own definition of “Lifetime” in a footnote, and its blow-off cover runs 3 to 15 years depending on the product. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso hands you the maker’s warranty on the terms in effect at install.
A roofer knocked after a storm. Should I sign?
Not that day. Texas trade sources warn about same-day signing and “free inspection” papers that turn out to be contracts. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso gives you a written estimate within 48 hours of a free inspection, so you’ve got time to compare it.
Do roofers need a license in Texas?
No. Texas doesn’t require a license for roofers, says the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas, so ask for proof of insurance. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso carries $1M general liability and $2M workers’ comp.
