How do I know if it’s time for a new roof?
The following factors will help you determine if a full roof replacement is the best option for your home.
Water Leaks
Brown or yellow stains on your interior ceilings are an indication that your roof is no longer holding up as it should. A small, single leak can be easily repaired, however, if the roof has multiple areas of weakness, a complete replacement is recommended.
Missing or damaged shingles
It is wise to inspect the roof after every storm and replace the damaged or bent shingles. Unfortunately, there are times when the damage is larger than expected, and a full roof replacement is the best option.
Age of Your Roof
The duration of roofing materials differs. Asphalt shingles last approximately 20 years, while a metal roofing system can last 40 to 70 years. It is wise to learn how much life is left in your roof, and keep a close eye on whether it is best to upgrade your roofing system so you don’t have to worry about replacing it later in life.
Here are the benefits of replacing your roof this year.
Increased Home Value
A new roof can certainly increase the value of your home. According to 2022 Remodeling Magazine, a new roof can boost your home value by nearly $12,000.
Improve Energy Efficiency
Installing a new roof will seal up any damaged areas, creating a new solid barrier between your home and the elements. At the same time, adding any needed insulation will ensure added protection against the changing temperatures of each season. Many roofing materials are now ENERGY STAR-rated, so make sure to inquire about this when speaking with a trusted roofing contractor.
Selling Your Home?
Are you considering moving in 2023? If so, a new roof will be an exceptional selling benefit. The buyer will notice the sharp, fresh look when approaching the home. A level of comfort is granted knowing that a solid roof will keep the new owners safe and comfortable.
Damage
Is your current roof showing signs of damage or wear? There are times when a repair can extend the life of your roof. However, if the damage is too much, a completely new roof is best. The only way to completely learn how much life is left in your current roof is to have it professionally inspected.
