If you are a homeowner, it’s always important to make sure to keep your roof in good condition. Installing a new roof on your home is a very big decision. Here are a few things to consider when deciding to replace your home’s roof.
- One of the most important benefits is the visual/curb appeal of a new roof. In New England, we typically advise an architectural shingle. Three Sons Window & Door offers roof shingles from CertainTeed or GAF.
-
How old is the existing roof? If installed properly and with good materials, an asphalt shingle roof should last 20 to 25 years, sometimes longer. It also depends on how many shingle layers you have and if it was properly ventilated. If you’ve lived there for many years and don’t know when the roof was last replaced, consider having a roof inspection.
-
Installing a new roof will increase your property value and will make it easier to sell your home when you’re ready.
-
Your existing roof could be so worn that there is deterioration and you could begin to experience water damage and other problems. A sag in a roof would indicate that the sheathing underneath is rotting. Pay close attention to the valleys, which are one of the most important parts of your roof because it’s where snow and rain flow to the gutters. A new roof will help eliminate those problems.
