Signs Your Roof Needs to be Replaced

Posted by admin on

Your roof plays an integral role in the comfort, safety, and functionality of your home. It can be easy to forget just how important a good roof is until yours has a major issue. If your own comfort and protection isn’t enough reason to schedule a roof replacement, installing a new roof is a home improvement project that offers a great return on investment in terms of resale value. Instead of waiting for disaster to strike, look out for these signs that your roof needs to be replaced ASAP. 

 

Your Roof is More Than 20 Years Old 

One of the easiest ways to determine if your roof needs to be replaced is to look at the roof’s age. If your roof is old enough to buy a drink legally, it needs to be replaced. Asphalt roofs typically last 20 to 25 years. While some can last longer, it’s better to be proactive than reactive when your roof develops a major issue due to its age. 

 

You Can See Light or Water Coming in Through the Attic 

Examining the health of your roof can start without taking a step outside. Go into your attic during the day and look up. The ceiling of your attic is actually the backside of your roof. If you can see daylight shining through, call a roofing contractor right away. You can use the same method during a heavy rainfall to check for any water making its way inside the home. 

 

Damaged or Missing Shingles 

Your roof should be inspected at least once a year to check for shingles that are damaged or missing. Damaged or missing shingles leaves your home at risk of water damage, pest infestations, and poor temperature control. You can try to do the inspection yourself, but it’s best to leave it to an experienced roofing contractor. If you do examine the roof on your own, make a note of where you find any signs of damage or missing shingles. 

 

Moss Growth 

If you notice moss or algae growing on your roof, it’s a sign your roof needs to be replaced. Moss growth only occurs when your roof isn’t properly draining water. Water could be backed up under the shingles for a variety of reasons ranging from clogged gutters to poor attic insulation. Your roofing contractor can dive in deeper to determine the specific cause. Once the issue is resolved, your current roof will need to be replaced.

They reached out to our team looking to replace their home’s old siding with a beautiful new material that would keep their home protected from all of Medford’s unpredictable weather!

We met with these homeowners to discuss their replacement project, and informed them about all of our available options. After discussing all of our team’s options, the homeowners decided on a unique design for their exterior. They wanted to use CertainTeed’s Cedar Impressions shingles on the front of the home, above their existing brick siding, and then use Monogram vinyl siding around the sides and perimeter of the home!

This design looks fantastic, and the homeowners were thrilled with the finished product! We’re happy we could help them complete their vision, and the home’s exterior looks beautiful! If you’re interested in learning a bit more about the materials our team used on this job, keep reading below for more information!

For their siding replacement, these homeowners chose a beautiful shade called Natural Clay, which looks fantastic on the home, complementing the white trim on their windows. We removed the old siding and made quick work of the install, giving the home a beautiful face-lift!

However, there was one more side of the home that needed attending to; the front! Which brings us to the next material we used for the replacement!

CertainTeed Cedar Impressions

For the front of the home, the homeowners wanted to install a material with just a bit of extra curb appeal, to complement their brick siding on the first story! Rather than using Monogram siding, the homeowners decided to use beautiful Cedar Impressions siding shingles in the same shade of Natural Clay! This made the siding look cohesive with the rest of the home, but provided that extra bit of beauty to the front of the home.

They had the idea of using both siding materials to craft a unique two-tone siding approach that truly helped this home’s exterior pop.

We installed Mountain Cedar Impressions siding shingles on the top half of the home, with the Monogram siding in Cypress installed along the lower half of the home! Both options, built by CertainTeed, have plenty of curb appeal and offer impeccable protection against all of Massachusetts’ inclement weather.

The homeowners were thrilled with the finished siding, but we still had more work to do on this home!

Marvin Double-Hung Windows

In addition to the new siding, our team installed new Marvin replacement windows in the home. The homeowners were looking to update their home’s windows along with the siding, and they elected to install new Marvin Essential Double-Hung windows around the home! The new windows complement the siding beautifully, and truly help bring the home’s exterior together in a cohesive manner. However, this home still needed one more finishing touch.

Therma-Tru Entry Door

Lastly, our team installed a new Therma-Tru entry door on the home! The homeowners decided to replace their old entry door while they were remodeling the rest of the home’s exterior, and they had us install a beautiful new black Therma-Tru entry door, providing the home with another focal point to draw your eye.
