KNOW WHEN IT IS TIME TO REPLACE YOUR ROOF

At some point, the exterior of all home roofs will need roofing services. Exposure to sun, temperatures and moisture will eventually wear on parts of the outside of your home. The roof is no exception, so homeowners should evaluate it on a regular basis. Anyone not able to inspect their roof should have someone inspect it for them.

Companies that provide roofing services can also do a roof evaluation for you. There are signs that indicate the need for roofing repair or total roof replacement. Check inside ceilings for any sign of water stains. The attic is another place that can show signs of roof deterioration. If only a few small areas exist, it is likely that roofing repair targeting those areas will take care of the problem.

If you detect multiple large spots, you should consider a total roof replacement. If you find damage signs, do not make any decisions before inspecting the exterior of the roof. Signs of wear include shingles that are missing or broken and loose or broken roofing tiles. If your roof has a shallow pitch versus a steep one, it will weather faster.

A steep pitch allows moisture to escape faster, so it decreases the speed of deterioration. Inspect the roof side that receives the most weather exposure and the edges that can break off from falling limbs. When roof replacement is imminent, consider new products on the market. Roofing services can recommend products that last longer, yet make your home more energy efficient.
