When Should You Consider Re-Roofing?
Knowing when to re-roof your home is crucial to maintaining its structural integrity and protecting your investment. Here are some signs that it might be time for a re-roof:
Age of Your Roof: Most roofs last between 20 and 25 years. If your roof is approaching or surpassing this age, it's time to consider re-roofing.
Visible Wear & Tear: Look for signs such as curling, buckling, or missing shingles, as well as granule loss. These indicate that your shingles are no longer effectively protecting your home.
Leaks & Water Damage: Water stains on your ceilings or walls are often a sign of a compromised roof. If you notice leaks or moisture inside your home, re-roofing may be necessary.
Storm Damage: Severe weather can cause significant damage to your roof. If you've experienced a storm, it's essential to have your roof inspected to determine if a re-roof is needed.
Understanding the Difference Between Re-Roofs & Roof Installations
While both processes involve adding new layers to your roof, they serve different purposes and are suited for different situations:
Re-Roofing: This process involves layering new shingles over existing ones, provided the roof structure is sound and there are no underlying issues. Re-roofing is typically more cost-effective and quicker than a full roof installation. It's ideal for homes with minor wear and tear or for those looking to refresh the appearance of their home without the expense of a complete overhaul.
Roof Installations: A roof installation involves removing the existing roof down to the deck and installing a brand-new roof. This process is necessary when the roof has extensive damage or structural issues or when a homeowner desires a complete change in roofing material or style. Roof installations ensure that any hidden problems are addressed, providing a fresh start for your home's protection.
