Did you know that if your roof is over 20 years old, it’s overdue for a replacement? Replacing old roofs can be intimidating and costly, but it doesn’t have to be.
If you learn about your options and plan properly, you can make getting your new roof simple and a dream come true. A newer roof is a better-looking roof, after all.
Read on for the roof buying guide that covers the most important things you need to know.
One of the signs you can look for is broken, cracked, curling, or lost shingles. If you have experienced more than one leak lately, you may also need a new roof.
If you don’t have any of these signs and your roof is nearing 20 years old, consider getting a roof inspection to evaluate whether it needs to be replaced.
Comparing roof costs is also a good way to get an idea of how much you can expect to reasonably spend on your ideal roof. On average, a new roof may cost around $5,421 – $11,123, but yours may be different.
Many factors influence roof cost, including the size and shape of your roof, the type of material you choose, and whether the support structure needs repair as well.
It’s also worth considering if you live in a very sunny environment as this might affect the roof color you want. Darker colors attract sunlight and might make your home hotter.
You also want your contractor to have the experience to get your roof done within a reasonable timeline, especially if you’ll be living away from home during the installation.
