Summer is here and the season of home improvement has begun. Most people dread this time of year when it comes to checking on their home’s health because of the costly winter damage. However, having these semi-annual inspections and improvements help keep you and your home protected. If you think that you could be in need of a roof replacement, here are some things to consider!
-
Does your roof need to be replaced or repaired?
Is your roof at its full term of service? Are there damaged or missing shingles? Do you notice any curling, waving, or sagging shingles or interior water spots on your ceilings? These are all major signs that your roof is at the end of its life and is in need of restoration. Scheduling a free inspection could help you determine if your roof needs to be fully replaced or minor repairs.
-
Is your house properly ventilated?
Have you noticed your attic is hot and/or humid? This could be due to insufficient ventilation. Poor ventilation can trap moisture and heat inside your attic and lead to the premature deterioration of your roof. During an inspection, roofing contractors understand how to properly ventilate and ensure your home is ventilated before your roof replacement.

Make sure to use the right materials
Next, you should consider the material choices you have. Using the right materials can ensure the longevity of your roof rather than costing you in the long run. If you’re looking for a roof to last more than 25 years, choose materials that align with that goal! Researching the different types of shingles and materials used in roofing could help you avoid unnecessary repairs or another replacement down the line. Using an Ownens Corning Platinum contractor is a great first step to choosing the best materials for your roof.
-
Two Warranties Provide
When your roof replacement is underway or complete, make sure that you have received at least two warranties. One warranty is provided by the roofing company; this covers the workmanship. The other warranty covers the materials from the manufacturer. If you are missing either of these warranties, you should reassess the project.
-
Are you prepared for the project?
Projects like roof replacements can take a while and involve noise and people throughout your home and property. Finding arrangements for pets and other family members that would be bothered by the noise, duration, and people is something to remember for their safety and comfortability.
