TOP REASONS FOR A ROOF REPLACEMENT
Unless there are obvious signs that you might need a new roof, like water coming into your home, you may be unsure whether roof replacement is the right answer. Besides having a leaky roof, there are other reasons why it might be smart to consider a new roof.
THERE ARE FOUR MAIN REASONS TO HAVE NEW ROOFING INSTALLED ON YOUR HOUSE:
REPAIRING STORM DAMAGE
Storms can damage roofing in several ways. High winds sometimes blow roof shingles off the roof, creating obvious empty or broken areas that need to be reroofed. Indirect damage is also common; wind causes tree branches or entire trees to come down on the roof, often damaging the roof structure as well as roof shingles. Rather than make spot repairs following significant storm damage, it’s often smarter to replace the roof.
INCREASING HOME VALUE
Even if your asphalt shingle roof isn’t worn or damaged, it can make sense to replace your roofing to increase curb appeal and real estate value. Some homeowners install new roofing in preparation of selling a house. When combined with new, exterior siding or an exterior paint job, new roofing can really make an older home look brand new. Apart from its aesthetic impact, a new roof offers a great deal of financial security to a prospective home buyer.
REPLACING A WORN ROOF
Asphalt roof shingles typically last anywhere from 15 to 25 years. Unfortunately, factors such as storm damage, low slope, ice damming, and mold or moss growth can significantly shorten the life of any asphalt roof. If your roof has any of the characteristics described in the section below, it’s a good idea to replace the roof. Otherwise, you risk even more severe problems,like rotted roof framing and leaks that can damage the house and its contents.
COMPLETING A MAJOR REMODEL
Are you planning to build an addition? How about adding some dormers or skylights? These major remodeling projects involve changes to your roofline and the installation of new roofing. Rather than have an unattractive mix of new and old roofing, many homeowners elect to have a total reroof done as part of the project. Make sure your house looks finished and uniform without having to try to match different roofing.
