Benefits of Residential Roof Replacements
While roof replacement is a big home improvement project, the benefits that accrue from it outweigh the cost in the long run. Here are a few benefits you’ll gain by getting a new roof over your head.
Enhanced energy efficiency: Thanks to advancements in roofing technology there are numerous roofing options today. Many have reflective coatings that limit solar heat, reducing the work on your HVAC system and lowering cooling costs. In some cases, up to 50% reduction!
Prevents future repair: No matter how many bandages you put on a cracked or damaged roof; it will ultimately need replacement. Delaying roof replacement can result in leaks that can damage the roofing structure, the interior of your home, and even threaten the health of your family. If your roof shows signs of damage or deterioration it is best to have it assessed immediately.
Increased curb appeal and home value: Replacing your roof is a cost-effective and easy way to give your home a fresh new look. In addition to improving your home’s curb appeal, potential buyers have a bias on homes with a new roof, boosting its resale value.
Safety and security: Beyond boosting your home’s value and energy savings, a roof replacement also ups your safety and security. Old roofs nearing the end of their usable life present some possible safety hazards like water damage and toxic mold and mildew. Also, an old roof is far more likely to suffer significant damage during periods of bad weather like heavy snowfall, severe storms, or high winds.
When Should You Replace the Roof?
Knowing when to replace your roof is vital to protecting the structural integrity of your home. Some common signs that your roof needs to be replaced include curling or buckling shingles. Besides shingle wear, a roof with rotting fascia board, damaged flashing, or a decomposing deck might also require replacement. Left unattended, these issues can lead to extensive roof damage and more serious structural issues to your home.
Older materials are more susceptible to damage than newer and stronger materials. Roof damage isn’t always localized to a specific area and may spread out to other parts of your roof. When there’s severe damage, you’ll have to replace roofing materials for better performance and integrity.
Ultimately, more durable materials are used and these offer better protection to your roof against rough weather and the elements. We use stronger roofing materials that have longer roof life and better performance.
