Have you thought about when you last renovated your roof? If it’s been a while, you’re not alone. Most people tend to neglect their roofs until they’re beyond repair. However, renovating your roof comes with a cost that is worth it, especially during hot summers in Texas.
Without further ado, let’s look at some key reasons why you should remodel your roof:
Why Should You Renovate Your Roof?
There are several reasons why your roof may require renovation. Here are the four most common reasons why you should consider roof maintenance:
1. Damaged Roof
2. Your Roof Is Old
A standard roof will last about two decades or so. The materials used in roofing projects have a shelf life, meaning they only last for a while. This means that eventually, the materials show their age, regardless of how skilled your roofing contractor is.
Although repairs only last a short while, some older roofs still have some life left and don’t require quick replacement, making simple repairs a more accessible alternative. Signs of an aging roof include sagging areas, water leaks, water damage, dark stains/streaks, daylight coming through your roof boards, etc.
3. You'll Avoid Potential Health Risks
Toxic mold and mildew growth resulting from a leaky roof are among the most significant health risks. It poses a severe hazard to the health of your family and employees. If you haven’t renovated your top in a while, consider doing so to avoid potential health risks such as:
– swelling of the eyes
– asthma
– increased risk for bronchitis
– respiratory infections
– skin & lung infections
– neurological problems.
4. Increased Lifespan
Roof renovation is guaranteed to extend your roof’s lifespan. How so?
- Roof renovation can fix any leaks or damages that may have occurred over time, preventing further damage to the roof structure and interior of the building.
- Roof renovation can replace outdated or worn-out materials with newer and more durable materials, such as metal roofing, which can last up to 5 decades.
- Regular maintenance and inspections can help you catch issues early on, allowing for timely repairs and preventing the need for significant renovations or replacements.
So, If you notice a few missing shingles or water stains inside your home, it’s best to renovate and repair your roof. Doing so will extend your roof’s lifespan and save money in the long run.
