Do I Need a New Roof?
This is a common question among homeowners experiencing a roof problem. Many wonder when the problem can be repaired and when reroofing is necessary. There are a few factors that indicate when replacing the roof is a better option than repair. Our roofers will inspect your roof, provide a free estimate, and answer your questions about the process of replacing your existing roof.
You may need a new roof if:
- The roof is more than 20 years old
- There are missing shingles
- Light can be seen through the roof boards
- The shingles are buckling or curling
- Roof shingles are falling apart in the valleys of the roof
- You have noticed granules from your shingles accumulating in the gutters
The Reroofing Process
Reroofing can be done in a few different ways, either by tearing off the existing roof shingles and laying a new roof or adding a new layer of shingles directly on top of the existing shingles. There are advantages to simply laying new shingles over the old roof. This is less labor intensive and does not require disposal of the existing roof shingles, so the cost is generally lower than completely tearing off and replacing the entire roof.
However, there are situations when it is necessary to tear off and replace the existing roof. If there are already shingles from a previous roof under the outer roof shingles, you may need to tear off and replace the roof. Additionally, if there is damage to the roof sheathing, you should strip the roof to the bare sheathing and repair the damage before replacing the roof. Our roofing contractors will inspect your roof to determine the best method for your home.
