Roofs damaged by storms, falling trees, or other events need to be repaired or replaced. The decision rests with the homeowner and roofing contractor. Roofs have a limited lifespan, about 10 or 15 years. Some types of roofing last much longer. But, how does a homeowner know when it is time to replace the roof? Roof leaks, missing roof shingles, or a worn out roof are enough signals that your roof needs replacement or repair. Many homeowners can’t climb up on the roof to check it out. They need the help of a roofing company in Costa Mesa.
When a person first moves into a home with an older roof, it is good practice to hire a roofing contractor, such as Crank Waterproofing, to examine the roof and siding and provide a report on their condition. The roof and siding may be in good shape, but it is important to know for sure. Once both have been examined, the homeowner will receive a report to study, which can serve as the baseline for any future home improvement plans.
Sometimes, an older roof is still okay, but not very energy efficient. In such cases, new roofing materials can offset the cost of replacing the roof by providing energy savings and improving the overall look of the home. Installing a new roof can also make a home look newer and more attractive.
However, there are times when a roof will last for more years with just a few inexpensive repairs and a good cleaning. Therefore, it is important to consult a professional roofing contractor to determine the best course of action.
If the roof does need replacing, a Roofing Company in Costa Mesa can offer several types of new roofing including metal roofing, shingle roofing, and other choices. A good roofing contractor can offer the homeowner good roofing choices and professional installation at affordable pricing.
Most quality roofing contractors will give the homeowner a free roofing estimate. When the budget is low and the roof is questionable, having an inspection can actually save the homeowner money. The roof can be repaired enough to be leak-free while the homeowner saves the money or seeks a home improvement loan to pay for a new roof. For more information, contact Crank Waterproofing.
