4 Ways to Make Sure You Make the Most of Your Roof Replacement

Let’s be real, nobody wants to deal with all the headaches that come with a new roof. You might find yourself wondering if you should just wait until your roof collapses to even consider calling a roofer.

If you think your roof needs replaced, you might find yourself doing it at the worst time of year, using low-quality shingles, and miss the many opportunities that a roof replacement only provides once every 20 years.

Now, imagine getting a brand new roof that looks good, serves its purpose, and makes you wish you had it done 5 years ago. You drive home to a house that is protected from the elements with the highest quality shingles & craftsmanship, knowing you made the most of your roof replacement.

Replacing a roof is a rare opportunity that might only present itself a couple times in a homeowners life. You are not alone in wanting to take complete advantage of that opportunity.

1. Opportunity for Upgrades

Getting a new roof unlocks the unique opportunity to upgrade other parts of your house. This includes your bathroom fan venting caps, attic ventilation, plumbing vent boots, critter guards, and more!

Upgrading venting caps will ensure proper airflow and prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to mold and other issues. Proper attic ventilation can extend the lifespan of your roof by preventing heat and moisture buildup. High-quality plumbing boots protect against leaks and are essential for maintaining the roof’s integrity over time.  Installing critter guards over plumbing vents can prevent animals from entering or nesting in your vent pipes.

2. Gutter and Downspout

With the roof off, it’s an opportune time to install or upgrade gutter protection systems, like leaf guards, to prevent debris buildup and improve water drainage. You might also consider extending your downspouts to direct water further away from your foundation, reducing the risk of water damage.

3. More Manufacturer Warranty Options

Instead of just hiring any roofer, consider seeking out master-certified roofers through shingle manufacturers. These roofers are often required to adhere to strict installation guidelines, which can qualify your new roof for extended manufacturer warranties. This extra layer of protection can be invaluable.

4. Energy Efficiency Improvements

If your attic insulation is old or insufficient, replacing your roof is a great opportunity to upgrade it. Better insulation will reduce heat loss in the winter and keep your home cooler in the summer, lowering energy costs. Also, consider opting for reflective shingles or cool roofing materials that reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat, reducing your home’s cooling costs.

Knowing how to make sure you make the most of your roof replacement is one thing, but making it happen is another!
