Roof Replacements

Roof Replacements The RemodelMe Way

 

High-quality, well-installed roofs can last for a very long time! Most homeowners will only need to replace their roof every 25 years. Over those 25 years, it may be possible to get away with roof repairs for smaller issues. However, there comes a time in the lifespan of any roof when it becomes necessary to replace your roof entirely to effectively protect your home and belongings.

The key to understanding

roof replacements:

 

Homeowners often make the assumption that a roof replacement is just the act of replacing shingles. In reality, your roof is a multifaceted system!

The deck, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, soffits, fascias, and ridge caps are just a few elements that go into a total roof replacement!

What are the most popular

roof replacement materials?

In addition to the standard of workmanship employed during the installation process, the materials you choose for your roof will also have a significant impact on how long it lasts. Roof replacement is an investment, not a recurring expense. This means it is essential to weigh up the benefits of each material.

Asphalt Shingles

 

By far, the most common roofing material used in the United States is asphalt. Asphalt shingles can easily last between 15 and 25 years with proper maintenance and they are relatively affordable. With this material, it’s important to assess impact ratings, as some asphalt shingles are built to withstand a lot more of the elements than others.

Metal Shingles

 

Metallic materials are becoming an increasingly popular choice for homeowners in Southern California. Although pricier than asphalt shingles, metals such as steel, aluminum, copper, and zinc can all last upwards of 50 years! They also provide built-in fire protection. The primary drawback of a metal roof is the increased noise during heavy rain.

Slate Shingles

 

Slate has an incredibly long life span and isn’t too dissimilar in price to other roofing materials such as aluminum. With proper care, a slate roof can last for more than a century! They also have the added benefit of being fireproof, but their weakness comes from their susceptibility to cracking under intense weather such as hail.

How can you tell when it is time for a roof replacement?

Find out when it was built

The first indicator with any roof should be its age. If you have records of the previous roof installation and it was over 20 years ago, chances are it will be ready for a replacement soon. Of course, not all roofs will last that long; many have suffered visible damage, which may necessitate a replacement earlier than intended.

Take a look at the shingles

When assessing your roof, we will evaluate the current state of your shingles. Has a severe weather event damaged your shingles? Has oppressive heat bubbled and cracked several of your shingles? Unkempt shingles can lead to water seeping into your roof deck through small cracks, and widespread moisture damage could leave you with no alternative but to replace the roof entirely. During our assessment, we’ll also check for the presence and spread of moss and algae, which could be an indication that you have a moisture problem.
