Top 3 Reasons For Roof Replacement
A new roof is a significant investment that most people only make once in their lives. Taking care of that investment can help extend the life of your roof and prevent it from deteriorating prematurely. That’s why it’s best that you know when your roof needs repairs and when you need a roof replacement. Here are some top reasons to replace and not repair your roof.
Your Roof Fell Prey to Storm Damage
Strong storms with hail and high winds can cause big problems for your home. In Oklahoma, we see a lot of sever weather events such as high winds, hail, heavy rains, and other detrimental factors that cause damage. Severe heat can lead to cracked and curling shingles. Snow fall can damage your fascia, soffits, and flashing. Even if you’re diligent about home maintenance. When a storm takes out too many of your roof’s shingles, it’s best to replace the roof. Do not try to patch it with mismatched shingles.
Your Asphalt Shingle Roof Has Turned 30
You can expect a roof life span of 25 years if you have an asphalt shingle roof. If your roof is older than 25, it’s best to replace the roof and not make frequent repairs to an old roof. As a bonus, you’ll get the benefits of new roofing materials that guarantee a higher roof life span.
Your Roof Leaks in Many Places and There’s Water Damage
Water damage can ruin your home’s walls, furnishings, and framing. If you’ve got a roof that leaks in several places, you’ll save more money in the long run if you replace your roof. It’s best to not make several smaller repairs.
If you’re still not sure if your home needs a roof replacement get a second opinion from the experts. At Solid Roofing, our experienced roofing contractors will check your roof. We give you options that fit your needs and budget.
