Roof Replacements could be needed based on a variety of factors.
When making the decision to have your roof replaced there are various items to look for. Some may notice loose granules from your roofing material that shed over time, if you notice heavy granular loss this can lead to leaks or other roof issues.
With older roofs you may notice vegetation growth, this can show that you do have an older roof, but it may not need to be replaced immediately but should be on the list of items to tackle.
Roof leaks into the attic or the home can be an emergency replacement or an item that moves a roof replacement to the top of your list.
Dark Spots or Dark Streaking on the inside of the roof on the roof decking means that moisture is making it past the roofing material and is saturating the roof decking. This may not be a visible interior leak, but the interior is receiving water.
Lifted, Cracked, or curled shingles can be a telltale sign that the roof is showing signs of wear and age. Lifted, cracked, or missing shingles invite the possibility of weather elements making it past the roofing material.
Some Roofs may not need a full replacement. Some areas can be replaced in singular fixes or by replacing a section of the roofing material.
Other roofing repairs can be preventative repairs like removing debris buildup, corrective repairs to fix structural elements of the roof, and shingle/skylight/gutter repairs to assist in weather resistance, aesthetics, or structural elements.
There are many different types of roofing materials available for all different types of aesthetics, use, building types, and desired resiliency & maintenance.
Metal Roofing can be one of the most useful and popular roofing materials in colder climates & it is one of the most resilient and long-lasting materials available. Metal roofing is a great choice for extreme weather conditions, fireproofing, commercial buildings, & homes looking for long-lasting, low maintenance, & protective options for roofing. Metal roofs commonly last 30-50 years. The installation of metal roofing can require specialty knowledge for installation procedures.
Metal Shingles & Shakes carry the same long-lasting resistance, weather benefits, and fireproofing. The benefit of Metal Shingles & Shakes is the finish and the more traditional look as a roofing material.
Standing Seam Metal Roofing is a cleaner & different design from your standard metal roofing. Standing Seam Metal roofs are attached to the substructure with concealed fasteners. These metal roofs can fit many different types of roof designs and can work on curved roof lines and your standard roof structures.
This roof option is mainly used on any roof design but mainly seen on steep or low slope roofs or on roof areas that are of an unusual design
Slate Roofing is an attractive and aesthetically pleasing roofing material that is typically seen on more luxury homes or homes that fit a specific design concept like ski towns or mountain towns. Slate can deliver a one-of-a-kind look for your home but can require specialty installation and can last 75-150 years in some cases as long as damaged tiles are repaired correctly and monitored over time.
Concrete is the alternative to Clay tiles. The installation techniques and advantages are similar. Different shapes, sizes, and designs are available and carry the same benefits as clay tiles. The life expectancy is expected to be 50 years or more.
