Is a residential roof replacement truly what you need?

Getting a brand new roof installed is an exciting, yet an unnerving exterior renovation project. After all, a roof replacement isn’t cheap and you want to make sure you actually need one — rather than a few simple repairs — before actually committing to it.

At Iron Shield Roofing, we’ll take the time to help you make sure that a residential roof replacement is the right move for you and your home’s roof.

When should you consider a residential roof replacement?

That being said, getting a new roof when you need one is a critical part of protecting your home and the ones who live in it. So, how do you know if you need a new roof? Chances are, unless you know you’ve got a leak or some other major defect, you probably aren’t sure whether or not roof replacement is the right way to go. That’s why it is so important to work with a roofing contractor you can trust.

However, there are some indicators you can use to help determine whether or not it’s time to get a roof inspection going. Here are some of them:

Your Roof Is Over 20 Years Old

While an old roof is not necessarily a sign that something’s wrong, a roof that has hit its 20-year mark is far more likely to have problems than a newer roof — especially if a subpar roofing company performed the first installation and used shoddy materials.

While most materials are designed for durability (a 50-year shingle is not unheard of), a host of factors can play into shingle life. Factors such as weather, poor roof ventilation, and neglect of routine roof maintenance are tell-tale signs.

You Can See Beams Of Light In Your Attic

It’s time to grab your flashlight and head into the attic. Once there, take a look at your roof from the inside to see if you can see any light shining through. If you can see light, then it’s almost certain that water can get through as well.

While Edmonton isn’t particularly known for rainy weather, all it takes is one bad storm for water damage to start taking place. Once water gets inside your home, it’ll not only damage your drywall and electric, it’s also a breeding ground for mold or mildew. If this is true of your roof, it’s time to call a professional right away.

Your Shingle Health Is Deteriorating

Over time asphalt shingles begin to show signs of aging. When your shingles are healthy, they lie flat against the roof. However as wind, water, and the sun begin to have an effect on these materials, they begin curling (lifting up at the edges), cupping (concaving in the middle), and cracking. Particularly bad storms can even tear shingles right off your roof.

It’s also important to check to see if your shingles are balding. A great way to do this is to check your gutters and downspouts to see if you can find any shingle granules.

Your Roof Is Sagging

If your roof is sagging, chances are you’re long overdue for a replacement. Sags often occur because the roof has been consistently bearing a heavier load, especially snow and ice, than the structure can support.

This type of repair is usually more than just getting on the roof and replacing the shingles. It usually requires boosting the strength of the frame — or replacing it entirely — as well as the old roofing material.

Get The Right Roofer

Before work even begins, we are going to take the time to make sure that your new roof is exactly what you need, at the price you want. But, even before that, we’re going to do a thorough inspection, and if there are any issues that demand immediate attention, we’re going to implement a fast, effective, and inexpensive fix. We won’t let your roof keep leaking while we’re waiting for supplies. We won’t just let that raccoon keep nesting in your attic. We’ll make sure that your home is safe and secure before anything else.

Benefits Of A Roof Replacement

While roof replacements are a significant part of the expenses of your home, they shouldn’t be considered a waste of money in any sense. In fact, a new roof installation should be thought of as an investment in the health of your home.

Here are some potential benefits you could experience with a roof replacement:

BOOST YOUR HOME’S CURB APPEAL

A new roof is a great way to give your home’s exterior a fresh new look. Modern shingles are not only durable, but designed with aesthetic appeal in mind. At Iron Shield, we use industry-leading GAF shingles that come in a wide variety of color options. In fact, Realtors estimate that 40% of the curb appeal of your home is linked to how your roof looks.

Installing a new roof is also a great time to put in additions like chimneys or skylights. It’s a lot more cost-effective to have these installed when your entire roof is already being torn off, rather than trying to get them done as a stand-alone exterior renovation project.

INCREASED HOME ENERGY EFFICIENCY

This benefit comes as a surprise to many homeowners. However, a roof that is in a poor condition can actually cause you to lose a lot of the heat in your home during the winter. This causes your energy costs to spike because your heating system has to work that much harder to keep you warm.

A new roof installation provides a strong seal against the elements and will make your home’s temperature more stable all year round.

GREAT RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT

A new roof has one of the strongest returns on investment when it comes time to sell your home with an ROI of around 60-70%. On top of that, a new roof can help your home sell quicker because it gives potential buyers a sense of security that they won’t have to make this particular major home renovation until years down the line.

New roofing systems also come with a manufacturer’s warranty. And if you choose a top-tier roofing company, they’ll also offer a workmanship warranty. At Iron Shield, we stand behind our work with an industry-leading lifetime installation warranty.
