When Is The Right Time for Roof Replacement?
There’s no guarantee that at the time your roof needs to be replaced, you’ll be ready for it, financially or otherwise. So it’s a good idea to know how old your building’s existing roof is and to compare that with the typical lifespan of that material. Good maintenance and regular cleaning and repair will help to extend the life of your roof, but the time will eventually come when it’s not doing its job anymore, when it’s not keeping the elements out. If you notice a leak and the roof is already at the far end of its average lifespan, this is the point when replacement is crucial. But really, a roof can be replaced anytime that makes sense for you. If you’re trying to sell and want to preemptively opt for a new roof, or want to upgrade to metal, that can happen anytime you’re ready.
In general, it’s best to replace your home’s roof before the situation gets critical, so that you have time to think through options and make the best choices for your home or business, your needs, and your budget. Regardless of your situation, the pros at BMN Construction LLC are here to help, with expert suggestions and key considerations to help you make the best decision possible.
Your Roof's Lifespan
Materials
A key part of your roof’s lifespan equation depends on the type of roof you currently have. Asphalt shingles of all kinds have an average lifespan of 15-30 years. Metal roofs are estimated to last 50-70 years. Roof tiles can be expected to last around 50 years and wood shingles can have a lifespan of about 20-25 years. Clearly, knowing when your current roof was installed and its average lifespan can help you to know where you are on that timeline and how much time you can expect to have before you need to make a serious decision on a replacement roof.
Environment
It is your roof’s job to protect your building and its interior from the elements, but those same elements take their toll on the roof itself. Over time, sun exposure, contact with trees and other natural debris, and the weather conditions and events in your area will damage and degrade your roof to the point where replacement is necessary. This is to be expected, but the specific factors in your area will determine how long this might take. If trees are close to the roof and are in frequent contact with the roofing material, or if winds, storms, hail, and heavy snow are regular occurrences, it\’s usually best to lean toward the lower end of the lifespan estimate when assessing when a replacement roof will be necessary.
Emergency
All of the above considered, there are unexpected events that happen everyday. A strong storm or intense wind downs a tree and damages your roof. A freak hail storm or tornado damages your roof, perhaps beyond repair. It could be that previous owners didn\’t rely on a professional and installed a DIY roof poorly. Now that decision is coming home to roost on your watch. Whatever the case, rest assured that we can help. From natural disasters that precipitate an insurance claim, or personal decisions to replace, you can rely on the roofing pros at BMN Construction LLC. We know that not every occurrence can be within your control, and we work efficiently to ensure that your home or business is protected.
