The need for new roofing is sometimes obvious and sometimes not-so-obvious. But the decision is always an important one. Roof replacement is a significant investment that has a big impact on the appearance, value and function of your home. It is also important to replace your roof at the right time. Waiting too long to replace your roof or installing a new roof before it's necessary could end up costing you.

We’d like to take a moment tell you more about roof replacement and some of the situations that might warrant it:

It’s Old 
Typically, a roof usually last anywhere from 15 to 25 years. Unfortunately, factors such as storm damage, ice damming, and mold or moss growth can significantly shorten the life of any roof. If your roof has any signs of wear, it’ nay be a good idea to replace the roof. A trusted roofing company or home inspector can help you determine approximately how old or damaged your roof is if you aren’t quite sure.

It’s Broken 
High winds can blow roof shingles off the roof, creating obvious empty areas that need to be repaired or replaced. And, when large trees or branches come down on the roof during a storm, it can damage the roof on a structural level. Rather than make repairs following storm damage, it can often be smarter to invest in roof replacement.

It’s Ugly 
When combined with new exterior siding or an exterior paint job, new roofing can really make an older home look brand new. Even if your roof isn’t worn or damaged, it can make sense to replace your roofing to increase curb appeal and real estate value. Many home buyers shy away from homes with an older roof as they don’t want the responsibility of roof replacement to fall on them in a year’s time. A new roof offers a great deal of financial security to a prospective home buyer.

It’s Inefficient 
A new roof can also help you save money on your heating and cooling bills. Roof replacement done by professionals, like the ones at Eastern Roofing & Siding, could help decrease the amount of money you spend keeping your home comfortable throughout the year.
