Trusted, Local Roofing Company
We encourage homeowners to look at their roofs from the ground at least once a month. Call us for an inspection if you notice any issues. Even if you don’t notice anything, you should schedule an inspection annually. Most roofs will require some upkeep throughout their lives. That includes resecuring loose shingles and replacing damaged ones.
You should also take care of any repair issues in a timely manner. If you experience extensive storm damage, don’t wait for the storm to end to call for a roofer. Get on the schedule before the post-storm rush, as even minor water intrusion can cause significant damage.
A common homeowner question concerns timing your roof replacement. The goal should be to replace your roof before it reaches its expected lifespan. Don’t exceed it because you already risk water damage and other issues at that point.
You have many options for roof replacement, and your current material doesn’t limit you. The most popular material is asphalt shingles. Basic asphalt shingles are the cheapest reroofing option. There are also architectural asphalt shingles. They cost more but last twice as long and provide a wider selection of design options.
Wood roofs are a popular alternative to asphalt roofing. Cedar is a common material for wood roofs, and you can choose between shingles and shakes. Shingles provide a home with a more uniform aesthetic. Rough-hewn shakes give your home a more rustic appearance. In both cases, the cedar becomes more beautiful as it ages, distinguishing it from other roofing materials.
