Having your roof replaced is a big job – and it’s one that you can’t trust to just anyone. You need to work with a roofing company that can give you the peace of mind you need.
You need Brotherhood Roofing.
Every roof has a lifespan – after a certain amount of time, roofing materials stop protecting your home the way they should.
Whether you have asphalt shingles, tile, slate or wood on your rooftop, you’ll eventually need a roof replacement.
Many people use their neighbors as a guide. If your neighbors are getting their roofs replaced and your home is about the same age as theirs, it may be time for you to look into a roof replacement.
However, the best way to determine whether you need a roof replacement is to consult with the professionals at Brotherhood Roofing.
We can send a qualified inspector to your home to check out every aspect of your roof and the materials that support it. Your inspector will look for signs of damage or material failure and put together a report that tells you exactly what condition your roof is in.
You should have your roof inspected every year. Brotherhood Roofing offers free inspections, so take advantage of it! You’ll find out your roof’s condition, whether it has any issues that need to be addressed right away, and even whether you can put off a complete roof replacement for the foreseeable future.
Without an annual roof inspection, you may be able to tell if your roof is damaged from inside and outside your home. Look for these signs, which could indicate that it’s time for a roof replacement:
Though it’s sometimes possible to make minor repairs and put off a roof replacement, that’s only a temporary solution. All roofing materials age, and as they become older, they become less capable of protecting your home and everything in it. Sometimes, when one component of a roof fails, it causes catastrophic damage to other areas. For example, if some of your roofing materials – like the supports that hold up your entire roof – have been damaged by water, they decay quickly. If the supports fail, your roof can cave in. Other issues, such as mold and mildew, missing shingles and leaks inside your home can all spiral out of control quickly, causing damage to other roof components and making your home vulnerable to the elements.
Every manufacturer is different, and so is every type of roofing material. Generally speaking, here’s how long you can expect common roofing materials to last:
Many roofing material manufacturers offer warranties on their products. Usually, the warranties last as long as they expect the products to last with natural wear and tear. When you are in the market for a roof replacement, talk to your roofing contractor about the warranty available on the products you choose. These warranties typically cover manufacturer defects; though these defects are rare, having a warranty provides you with a good measure of protection just in case something goes wrong.
Sometimes things like storm damage change a roof’s lifespan. Because we experience a wide range of weather in Frisco and the surrounding communities, your roof may start to give out before you expect it to – but in many cases, simple repairs can push a complete roof replacement a few years down the road.
When it comes to maintenance, you can ensure you give your roof its best chance at a long lifespan by:
Every roof replacement job is different. The length of time yours will take depends on several factors, including the size of your roof, the materials you choose, and even the season.
