Is your roof leaking? There are various reasons for a leak, some of which are easily repaired. There are factors professionals use to determine whether a roof requires replacement or not, and a leak is only one factor to consider. A simple roof repair may fix your leak but understanding when the time is right for replacement can save you time, money and damage in the long run.  

WARNING SIGNS

Just like your car, there are warning signs to watch for before a total breakdown of your roof. Changing out a couple of shingles solves your issue for a brief time, but more drastic work may be required. These early warning signs could help save you money and time:

  • Age – Age is the most significant factor to consider when replacing a roof. If your roof is more than two decades old, wear and tear may be showing.
  • Shingles – The appearance of your shingles will make a significant difference. A close-up examination of your roof’s shingles will tell whether damage or decay have begun to set in.
  • Rising Energy Bills – The right roof could save you money on your monthly energy bills. A roof with issues, on the other hand, could ultimately cost you money each month. You may notice these mounting bills due to an air conditioner or heater working harder than usual.

ROOF LIFESPAN

A typical roof will last for around twenty years. Most roofing materials come with a manufacturer’s warranty for this period. It’s not unheard of for a roof to naturally reach the end of its lifespan without a catastrophic roof failure.

If undergoing a replacement is delayed, however, bigger issues may be experienced down the road. It’s important to understand your roof and its lifespan so you may plan accordingly.

INSURANCE IS REQUIRED

When selecting a professional roofing company, make sure they have insurance. This is a must.

Ask to see certificates and call the insurance carrier to confirm their validity before any work is performed.

IGNORE PRICING

EVERYTHING IN WRITING

Before settling on a company, get everything in writing. The roof and home belong to you, which means you should be in total control. Furthermore, do not offer any funds until the work is complete. You want to be satisfied with the results before paying out of pocket.

Where possible, acquire a contract, a quote, and an agreement from the company clearly stating the work they intend to complete and for what price. Be sure you are satisfied with everything, first and foremost.
