Residential Roofing
Replacing a roof can be a complex and challenging task that requires a good understanding of construction techniques, building codes, and safety procedures. The difficulty of the project will depend on several factors such as the size and slope of the roof, the type of roofing materials being used, the accessibility of the roof, and the overall condition of the roof deck. Fortunately, Ratti Builders can help you with that process.
When to Replace a Roof
There are several signs that indicate it’s time to replace your roof, including:
Age
The average lifespan of a roof is 20-25 years, depending on the type of material used. If your roof is approaching or has exceeded this age, it may be time to consider replacement.
Sagging or buckling
If you notice your roof deck sagging or the shingles are buckling, it might be a sign of a structural problem and the roof needs to be replaced.
Missing or damaged shingles
Missing or broken shingles can allow water to seep into your roof, resulting in further damage to your house. If you observe missing or damaged shingles, it could be a sign that a roof replacement is in order.
Leaks
If your house is suffering from water infiltration, it might indicate that a roof replacement is necessary.
Excessive granules in gutters
An excessive amount of granules in your gutters may indicate that your shingles are deteriorating and the roof needs to be replaced.
In general, if your roof is showing signs of wear and tear, it is best to have a professional roofing contractor from Ratti Builders inspect it to determine whether it is time to replace it. Ignoring these signs can lead to more significant and costly problems down the road.
