Springtime is among us which is a great time to plan home improvement projects to complete this year. If you have been talking about or putting off a roof replacement, now is the time to do it. Planning now for a new roof this year will give you plenty of time to find the best contractor, a reasonably priced quote, and to prepare your home for a new roof. Keep reading for our top reasons to replace your roof this year! 

Your Roof Is Damaged

A roof that has sustained significant damage is a great reason to completely replace it versus repair. When a roof has been damaged and not repaired in a timely fashion, the damage will only get worse. This is especially true for water damage as it poses a large threat to your entire roofing system. 

While it is possible to repair and patch a roof that has suffered damage. However, there is a point where it is smarter to replace the roof. If your ceilings and walls show signs of a leak, likely your roof system has been significantly damaged.

A roofer will need to completely replace the roofing material, underlayment, roof deck, and possibly other pieces of the system. Discuss your options with a professional roofer to determine if the damage is enough to justify a complete replacement.

Your Roof Is Old

Each roofing material has its own expected lifespan, which can be upwards of 50 years with professional maintenance and repair. The key to keeping your roof in good condition is to have regular inspections completed along with timely repair. If your roof is 20 plus years old, you will want to have it inspected to see if it is time to replace it. 

An older roof will slowly deteriorate and continue to be affected by the elements. If you  live in an area that sees snow and extremely cold temperatures, it can cause leaks to form or grow. Other areas with extreme heat can cause UV damage, drying of shingles, and cracking of tile. Regardless of where you live, if  your roof has not had any professional care and is more than 20 years old, it could be time for a replacement.

Your Roof Looks Rough

If your roof is starting to look a little rough, it is time for a replacement. Significant damage, debris collecting on a roof, missing materials, and age can contribute to a roof that just does not look all that great. The more wear, tear, and damage a roof suffers, the worse it is going to look. This is  especially true if you live in an area with extreme weather, such as snow, rain, or heat. A roof that looks rough is a great reason to replace it. 

Not only will your roof be an eyesore for you, but also for your neighbors. Many neighborhoods have an HOA with bylaws that require your home to be kept to specific standards. Your roof is likely a part of this. Make your house look good with a new roof!

You Are Selling Your House

When selling a house, homeowners want to make sure they put their best foot forward and provide a great first impression to buyers. If you are planning to list your house for sale this year, a new roof should be on top of your to do list. 

The roof is an important part of your home’s curb appeal and needs to look its best for buyers. Doing so can help you receive top dollar for your home and avoid scrambling to meet the needs of a potential buyer. Selling a house comes with several necessary updates, including replacing the roof.

Do not let a roof replacement slip through the cracks again this year.

A roof that is old and damaged likely needs to be replaced sooner than later. Prevent further damage to the rest of  your home too with a complete re-roof. Other reasons to replace your roof this year include if your roof does not look its best, especially if you are planning to list your home for sale soon.
