Some roofing material is expected to last only 20 years on average. If you have been living in your present home for a considerable period of time and the roof seems to look worn and in decline, you might have to consider roof replacement. Roof replacement is a significant expense and the process is both time consuming and inconvenient. To save money, a home owner might mull over repairs or partial re-roofing as a cheaper and less invasive alternative, but re-roofing will only provide a temporary solution if extensive damage has set in.
You may need roof replacement if the following indications are detected:
1.The roof deck is in a poor condition
2.The existing roofing appears to be shoddy and extensively worn down
3.The existing roof has too many layers present
4.Shingles have gone missing or the granules on the topping are missing
5.If the roof ridge does not appear straight and is lop sided the structure may no longer be strong enough to bear additional load if there is a heavy snowfall or ice load
A replacement job can potentially cost thousands. However, on the flip side, timely replacement can protect the structure of your home and prevent further damage to the whole home. A roof replacement that is properly installed will provide years and years of carefree protection to your home.
When you choose roof replacement, you also remove all water leaks and water damage that could have been contributing to the development of mold and mildew. Not only will your home be more structurally sound, but the house will be healthier to reside in.
