Investing in a New Roof for Your Home or Business
The Benefits of Investing in a New Roof for Your Home or Business Most building owners need to replace their roofs more often. However, with roofs lasting up to 30 years or more, we often encounter those who have never gone through this process. If you're looking for a new roof, this is most likely your first time looking. Most people get overwhelmed by the expense. Replacing your roof is quite an investment, but did you see we called it an investment, not an expense? That's because the benefits of replacing your bad roof are more of an investment than an expense. Let's go over some of the benefits of getting a new roof. Getting a New Roof You may need to realize that choosing a new roof is just as important, if not more important, than painting walls, updating a kitchen, or making other interior home improvements. Unfortunately, [...]
How to Spot & Fix Small Roofing Issues
How to Spot and Fix Small Roofing Issues Before They Become Major Problems Unfortunately, our roofs don't last forever. However, there are situations when something you believe warrants a replacement needs to be repaired. Unfortunately, when we see a leak, the first thing that comes to mind is the expense. However, many types of repairs are not that big of a deal or that costly. If you catch a small issue before it becomes a huge problem, you can save yourself a lot of money. If you are aware of what to look for, you can prevent a costly problem from occurring. Your home's roof protects the things inside and the people there. Therefore, it is essential to monitor the condition of your roof and address any problems as soon as possible before they escalate into costly roof replacements. Lifted Shingles Lifted shingles typically occur after a storm. These can [...]
What Affects the Life Span of Asphalt Shingles?
The term "weathering" refers to the impact of the elements on your asphalt roof shingles. This is a natural process that causes your shingles to deteriorate over time. Not all shingles, however, degenerate at the same rate. Let's take a look at things that will have a direct effect on your asphalt shingles' lifespan. Shingle Quality This is arguably the most significant factor. Lower-quality shingles will decay faster than higher-quality shingles. Choosing the latter is always a good idea because it saves money by reducing the need for frequent repairs. Typically, a better-quality shingle is relatively inexpensive when looking at the overall cost. Color of the Roof The color of your roof also influences how quickly or slowly shingles deteriorate. Roof shingles in darker hues absorb more heat than lighter shades. This heat can shorten the life of your shingles. This is important as our client's roofs are enduring the [...]
Can Shingles Replace a Tile Roof?
When searching for a property in Texas, you may discover that many have tile roofs. This is because tile is one of the more durable roofing solutions for this climate. However, you might not love the aesthetic of the tile roof, especially if you are from the Midwest or other locations where you are not used to it. Tile roofing is far more durable, complex, and expensive than shingle roofing. A tile roof, if done correctly, will endure a lifetime. However, they have a different artistic look. This could be the reason why shingles should be used instead of tile. However, we rarely see people replacing tiles for shingles. This is due to the cost. Shingle roofs pale in comparison to tile roofs. Furthermore, the roof itself is designed to fit the weight of the tile. This implies that the roofing system would need to be upgraded if we [...]
Should I Stay Home During a Roof Replacement?
A common question homeowners may consider when getting a roof replacement is whether they can stay home. The answer depends on the type of roof that needs to be replaced and how much work needs to be done. If your current roof is only a few years old, you can likely stay in your house for most or all of the replacement process. However, suppose you have an older home or want to upgrade your roofing material (to something like metal). More extensive repair may involve removing and replacing a part of the structure, such as decking or rafters. In these instances, it's probably better to consider renting a room in a motel while your new roof gets installed. There are also circumstances in which a homeowner can stay in their home during the replacement process. If you were to make this decision, it is extremely important to ensure [...]
