Professional Roof Replacements by Allstate Exteriors
Over time, your roof endures damage from weather, debris, and general wear and tear. Most roofs last 15-25 years before needing replacement. If your roof is nearing that age threshold or you’ve noticed signs of roof damage like leaking, missing shingles, or dark stains, it may be time for roof replacement. While installing a new roof can seem like a major hassle and expense, this guide from Allstate Exteriors will provide you with the key information you need to tackle a roof replacement with confidence.
When to Replace Your Roof
As a roof ages, even with proper maintenance, the materials break down from exposure to the elements. Once a roof reaches 10-15 years old, have professional inspections done every 5 years to assess its condition and identify any needed repairs. Typical signs your roof needs full replacing include:
- Leaks
- Damaged, cracked, or missing shingles
- Curled or buckling shingles
- Dark stains on the roof
- Exposed roofing felt or underlayment
- Sagging roofline
- Excessive granule loss leaving bald spots
If you spot any of these issues, the time for roof replacement has likely come. Replacing your roof promptly can prevent further damage to your home.
Roof Replacement Process Overview
A roof replacement typically involves the following:
- A complete roof inspection and measurements
- Selecting new roof materials that meet your needs and budget
- Obtaining necessary permits
- Tearing off and disposing of the old roof
- Replacing any rotted or damaged decking
- Installing roof underlayments
- Putting on the new roofing material
- Adding proper flashings, vents, and seals
- Final inspections/closing permits
With an experienced roofing company, the entire replacement process usually takes 2-3 days. Planning ahead helps minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Choosing Roofing Materials
Today’s options for roofing materials include:
- Asphalt shingles – affordable, come in many colors and styles, last 20-30 years
- Metal roofing – durable, fire resistant, energy efficient, 50+ year lifespan
- Tile roofing – aesthetically appealing, very durable if properly installed
- Slate roofing – beautiful, extremely durable, but expensive
Consult a trustworthy roofer on the best materials for your specific home and climate. Also, consider long-term costs, not just upfront costs. While metal or slate roofs have higher initial price tags, their long lifespans can provide better value over decades.
