At E&E we know replacing your roof is a big deal. To help you make the right decision, here’s what to look for when determining if a new roof is right for you.
Asphalt and wood-shingled roofs generally last anywhere from 20 to 50 years. It’s important to know a roof’s life expectancy in your area. That way you can replace before you have additional issues.
Shingle damage and granule loss may be a sign your roof needs replaced. Shingles should lay flat against the roof without curling, disfiguration, broken pieces or lifting. These issues may just need repaid, but may be signs of bigger problems.
If you’re noticing leaks in your attic or home it’s likely your roof needs to be replaced. Left unchecked, water can lead to costly damages—including higher utilities and hazardous mold growth. If you see water, call a professional.
If you see moss on your roof, pay attention. Sometimes greenery can be washed away without needing repair, but vegetation may also be a sign of trapped moisture and water damage. The same goes for black streaks of algae, which can shorten the lifespan of shingles.
Not all roofs are replaced because they’re failing. If you have the budget and are ready for something different, a new roof is one of the best ways to give your home a striking new look that’s one of a kind.
