Pictured here is a worn out asphalt shingle roof. Asphalt shingles are the most popular type of roofing material used in the United States. They are designed with a lifespan of 20-25 years. When a roof wears out, it allows water to penetrate the home which leads to interior damage. Protect your house by inspecting for signs of roof wear and either repair them, or replace the roof if it is beyond its lifespan.
Here are some reasons to replace a worn-out asphalt shingle roof:
Prevent Leaks: As shingles age, they crack or curl, allowing water to seep underneath. Replacing a worn-out asphalt shingle roof prevents leaks and protects your home from water damage.
Improve Energy Efficiency: Worn-out roofs contribute to higher energy bills by allowing hot air to escape in the winter and cool air to escape in the summer. By replacing your roof, you improve your home’s energy efficiency and lower your energy bills.
Enhance Curb Appeal: A new roof improves the look of your home and enhances its curb appeal.
Increase Property Value: In addition to improving curb appeal, a new roof increases your property value. Homebuyers will pay more for a home with a new roof because they know it requires less maintenance.
Ensure Safety: A worn-out roof can be a safety hazard, particularly in areas with high winds or heavy snowfall. By replacing your roof, you can ensure the safety of your family and your property.
When needed, a new roof is an important investment that will protect your home, enhance its appearance, increase its value, and ensure your family’s safety.
