ROOF REPLACEMENT

When Do You Need A Roof Replacement?

Sometimes you can get your roof repaired to make it last longer, but that’s not always an option. You might need a completely new roof. When? It depends on what kind of roof you have, how old it is, what climate you’re in, and what issues you’re seeing.

How Old Is Your Roof?

How long a roof lasts will mainly depend on the materials that were installed on the roof in the first place. When we’re talking about shingles, you can get products that are meant to last 20-25 years, the standard 30 years, or even 50 years.
Compare this number with when the house was built or when the latest roof was installed. If you’re not sure about which products are on there or when they were installed, it’s worth doing a quick check to see if you can find that paperwork. But don’t stress — we can always come by and take a look ourselves to see if you need a new roof or not. We can tell age pretty quickly from the condition it’s in.

Has Weather Shortened Your Roof’s Lifespan?

There are some climates that are known to be bad for roofs. Windy areas that see lots of wind damage and frequent temperature changes can age a roof, as well. This could knock a few years off the expected lifespan of your roof, depending on the quality of the product that’s on there.

What Issues Are You Seeing?

If you’re considering a roof replacement, you likely saw something wrong with your current roof. There’s a few signs that can indicate the need for a re-roof, like empty patches, curling shingles, or a loss of granules on shingles. If you’re unsure, request an estimate and we’ll come take a look. The eye of a professional is always worth the time, especially on such an important part of your home or business property.
