A new roof can be a costly investment. However, the roof of your home is essential for protecting you against the harsh outdoor elements. Furthermore, a roof can significantly impact your home’s curb appeal in the eyes of future buyers. That’s why the Boise roofers at Madison Roofing would like to provide you with the following reasons to get a new roof in 2021.
Signs You Need a New Roof
Below are several factors that may indicate the need for a new roof.
Visibly Worn Shingles
Does your roof have visibly worn shingles? Are there areas of your roof that look bald with missing granules? While your roof may be keeping moisture out, worn shingles and granule loss allows hot or cold air into your home, raising or lowering the temperature inside, thus increasing your heating and cooling costs. Furthermore, once exposed your roof’s underlying materials will eventually dry out and crack, making your roof susceptible to leaks.
Cracked, Cupped, Or Curled Shingles
Cracked, cupped, or curled shingles not only look bad, but they also allow water to quickly get underneath and into your roof deck, resulting in leaks and rot.
Your Neighbors Are Getting New Roofs
When your neighbors are getting new roofs, it’s more than just about one-upping one another. Homes are often built around the same time, which means that your roof is probably about due if your neighbors are re-roofing.
Your Roof Leaks
Your roof is made up of several layers, not just the shingles. These layers include underlayment, flashing, moisture barriers, insulation, and other major components. As a roof ages, several of these components will start to fail and need to be replaced.
Major Damage
If more than 35% of your roof is damaged due to wind or hail, then it’s best to replace it altogether. Repairing a damaged roof can cost you more because it’s more time-consuming to integrate new shingles into an existing roof. Furthermore, mixing new and old shingles won’t be aesthetically pleasing.
Aesthetic Issues
Aesthetics and curb appeal matter to Treasure Valley homeowners and potential buyers. If your roof is old, worn, or stained, boosting its appearance with a new layer of shingles will make a huge difference.
How Much Does a New Roof Cost?
There’s a wide range of costs when it comes to a new roof. Factors include the type and grade of materials used, and your roof’s complexity, including peaks, valleys, slope, and size. In short, the more complicated your roof, the more time and materials are required. That’s why it’s essential to get a full on-site estimate from the experienced Boise roofers at Madison Roofing.
