How long will a new roof last?

A roof can last anywhere from 15 to 100 years or more, depending primarily on the roofing material used, but also on factors like climate, installation quality, and maintenance.

Severe weather, such as hail, high winds, and extreme temperatures, can reduce a roof's longevity. Maintenance like regular inspections and prompt repairs are crucial for extending a roof's life. 

Cheaper materials may have a lower upfront cost but can lead to a shorter lifespan. Poor installation can also significantly shorten a roof's lifespan. We ensure every roof is properly installed to manufacturers specifications and warranty requirements. All of our shingles are rated for 130 MPH+ winds.

Should I Repair or Replace the Roof?

Full replacement becomes necessary when over 25 percent of the roof is flawed. A full replacement utilizes the latest technological developments in roofing systems and is a long-term solution.

Minor repairs extend the life of the roof and can be done when the shingles are deemed to be in repairable condition.

How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced?

You can tell your roof needs to be replaced by looking for signs like age (over 20 years for many asphalt shingles), shingle damage (curling, cracking, or missing pieces), granule loss (found in gutters), and roof sagging. Look for water stains or damage on ceilings and walls, especially in the attic. Check for damp insulation or wet rafters in the attic as well.

Algae, moss, or lichen growth on the roof can trap moisture and damage shingles over time. While a cleaning may be a first step, excessive growth can signal a need for replacement.

A damaged or old roof can be less efficient, leading to higher heating and cooling costs. A sudden increase in energy bills could also be a symptom.
