What To Expect During A Roof Replacement & Tips and Tricks To Help

When Should You Get A Roof Replacement

There are certain signs that occur and confirm that it is time to get a roof replacement like:

• Storm Damage: Severe storms can take a toll on roofs. The most common type of damage is rain, and when rainwater collects for a while, it can lead to the growth of mold and attract insects. High winds can blow roof shingles off, leaving the space empty. Sometimes because of the high winds, tree branches or the entire tree will come down onto the roof and cause major damage. If you have a metal roof, then an intense hail storm can dent your roofing and cause damage as well. A large amount of snow can put pressure on your roof panels and destroy them, and also, snow turning into ice can later be deadly for the roof. So, it is recommended to get your whole roof replaced rather than just the storm damage spot.
• Worn Roof: Storm damage, low slope, ice damming, or mold growth can shorten the lifespan of an asphalt roof. If you ignore the signs of a worn roof, you risk even more severe problems like a rotten roof frame and leaks which will cost most to fix.
• Increasing House Value: If you are looking to put your house on the market, then redoing your roof is an excellent option. It will not only increase your house’s value but also give it a more fresh and vibrant appearance. Besides the aesthetic impact, potential home buyers will consider your house more due to the fact that they will not have to spend money and fix a roof anytime soon.
