Time to replace your Roofing

Time to replace your roof? Canadian residents, here are the seven top reasons why it might be time to invest in new roofing.
1. Aging Roofing Materials wear out as they face the elements and the natural weakening that comes with the passing of time. Asphalt roofs can last 25 years or more, beyond that limit, it might be wise to replace it. If your have multiple layers of roofing on your house, you normally need to replace shingles in around 20 years.
2. Storm Damage The Prairies get hit with frequent storms, tornadoes, and seasonal high winds and thunder or hail storms. When storm damage is sufficiently localized to one part of your roof or is scattered and light, a repair job may suffice. But more extensive damage may merit full roof replacement.
3. Curled Shingles
When heat, wind, and other factors have forced numerous shingles to buckle back or curl up, it may be impractical to just cherry pick the damaged shingles and replace them. Mold and moss growth may also be extensive. It may be more cost-effective to just replace roofing in that condition rather than repair.
4. Worn Out Shingles It may be you aren’t missing shingles or experiencing “curl up”, but yet, the roof looks bare and patchy at points. Look in the gutters, and you may see granules piling up – that’s a sign that the roofing is simply past its life expectancy. Don't wait for water damage to the roof decking and to your home’s interior, act now.
5. Remodeling Once you are upgrading the rest of your home or your business, it may make sense to just go ahead and replace the roofing too. You want a new color to better match the rest of the remodel (exterior finish).
6. Switching Roofing Maybe you’re planning to switch to a metal roof or tiles, for example, instead of asphalt shingles. Unless your roofing is new, it may be worthwhile to make these changes before the life of the roof has expired.
7. Increase Resale Value Many homeowners opt to replace a roof when they are getting ready to list their home on the market. The added curb appeal and the ability to show it has a new roof may help attract buyers and get a higher sell price.If any of the above applies to you then it may be time to consider roof replacement.
