A roof replacement is an investment in your homes future

Storm Protection & Insurance Claims

There are several reasons why you should consider repairing or replacing your roof:

  1. To protect your home: Your roof is the first line of defense against the elements, and if it is damaged or in poor condition, it can allow water and other elements to enter your home, causing damage to your walls, ceiling, and other structures.

  2. To prevent further damage: If you ignore a small roof repair, it can turn into a larger and more expensive problem in the future. For example, a small leak can lead to water damage and mold growth, which can be costly to repair.

  3. To improve energy efficiency: An old or damaged roof can be a source of energy loss, as it may not be properly insulated or sealed. Upgrading to a new roof or repairing your existing roof can improve the energy efficiency of your home and potentially lower your energy bills.

  4. To increase the value of your home: A new roof or a well-maintained roof can increase the value of your home. Potential buyers will be more likely to purchase a home with a roof that is in good condition, rather than one that needs repairs or replacement.

  5. To enhance the appearance of your home: A new roof can improve the overall appearance of your home and give it a fresh, new look. This can be especially important if you are trying to sell your home or just want to improve its curb appeal.

There are several signs that may indicate that your roof needs replacing. Some of these signs include:

  1. Age: If your roof is more than 20 years old, it may be time to consider replacing it. As a roof ages, it becomes more prone to leaks and other problems.

  2. Sagging: If your roof is sagging or has visible dips, this could be a sign that the roof structure is weakened and needs to be replaced.

  3. Missing or damaged shingles: If you have missing or damaged shingles, it’s important to address this issue as soon as possible. Allowing damaged or missing shingles to remain unrepaired can lead to leaks and further damage to your roof and home.

  4. Leaks: If you notice water stains on your ceiling or walls, or if you experience leaks during rainstorms, this could be a sign that your roof needs to be replaced.

  5. Curling or buckling shingles: If the shingles on your roof are curling or buckling, this could be a sign that they are no longer providing adequate protection for your home.

The time it takes to replace a roof can vary depending on a number of factors, including the size and pitch of the roof, the complexity of the roof design, and the type of material being used. On average, it can take anywhere from one to five days to replace a roof, although larger or more complex roofs may take longer.

There are several steps involved in replacing a roof, including:

  1. Removing the old roof: The old roofing material will need to be removed, which may include tearing off shingles, pulling up underlayment, and removing any flashing or other components.

  2. Inspecting the roof deck: Once the old roof has been removed, the roof deck (the underlying structure of the roof) will be inspected to ensure that it is in good condition and ready to support the new roof.

  3. Installing new underlayment: A new layer of underlayment will be installed over the roof deck to provide an additional layer of protection against water and moisture.

  4. Installing the new roof: The new roofing material will be installed, which may include laying down new shingles, installing flashing, and attaching any other necessary components.

  5. Cleaning up: Once the new roof has been installed, any debris from the old roof and the installation process will be cleaned up and disposed of.

It’s possible that your insurance policy will cover the cost of a new roof, depending on the circumstances. In general, insurance policies will cover the cost of a new roof if it is damaged by a covered event, such as a storm or fire.

If you have a standard homeowners insurance policy, it may cover the cost of a new roof if it is damaged by hail, wind, lightning, or a fallen tree. However, it’s important to note that insurance policies typically have limits on the amount they will pay for roof damage, and you may need to pay a deductible before coverage kicks in.

It’s also worth noting that insurance policies generally do not cover the cost of replacing a roof due to wear and tear or age. If your roof needs to be replaced due to normal wear and tear or because it has reached the end of its lifespan, you will likely be responsible for paying for the replacement yourself.

If you’re not sure whether your insurance policy will cover the cost of a new roof, it’s a good idea to review your policy or contact your insurance company to ask. They will be able to provide more information on what is and is not covered under your policy.

Roof Replacements

There are many reasons our customers choose to replace their roofs. When selling a home, the look of a new roof provides more curb appeal which is often seen in a higher asking price. A new roof will also eliminate inspection issues after an offer is accepted. Cracking or buckling shingles will show signs of a replacement in the near future which leads people to be proactive with a roof replacement. The most obvious reason is water damage to the home caused by deteriorated shingles. This may lead to mold growth in your attic, insulation replacement, and costly drywall repairs.

01.

Protecting your home: A roof is the first line of defense against the elements, and it is responsible for protecting the rest of your home from rain, wind, and snow. If your roof is damaged or in poor condition, it may not be able to effectively protect your home, which could lead to further damage and costly repairs.

02.

Improving energy efficiency: An old or damaged roof can be a major source of energy loss in a home. Replacing an old roof with a new, energy-efficient one can help to reduce energy bills and improve the overall energy efficiency of your home.

03.

Increasing home value: A new roof can significantly increase the value of your home, making it more attractive to potential buyers if you decide to sell in the future.

04.

Enhancing curb appeal: A new roof can also improve the appearance of your home, making it more attractive to neighbors and passersby.
