Replace my shingle roof

Every year, homeowners must ask themselves, “Will I need to repair my shingle roof before winter sets in?” Roof replacement can be the most important investment that homeowners can make after their homes are purchased. If you recently purchased your home, it is important to remember that a lot of homes that sat for years because they went unsold in a down market may have undetected roof damage. Banks that hold repossessed homes and investors that flip houses normally do not replace the roof before the home is sold. They know full well how expensive it is to replace a roof. Ultimately, over time, the responsibility of repairing the roof will fall to the new owner of the home.

Hire a professional

When it is time for repairs or replacement, it is important to find a trustworthy and reputable contractor to do the work and to do it right. Hiring a professional and licensed contractor is the only viable option if you want to maintain the roofing material warranty. In addition, a professional contractor has years of experience, so the work will be completed in a timely and professional manner. Annual maintenance is a routine part of owning a home, just like regular maintenance is part of owning a car.

Regular maintenance is important

Just as you would check your tire tread or change the oil in your car, you need to make a visual inspection of the roofing shingles. It is never recommended that a homeowner get atop of a roof without safety equipment. Instead, you can inspect shingles with a set of binoculars; however, the best roofing contractors in the Greensboro area will be more than happy to perform roof assessments for homeowners at a small cost.

There are also thousands of homeowners that let their roof go for years without repair, thinking that their roof will never be damaged. The ice, rain, and hailstones that are common in summer storms, as well as the ice dams and snow pack during winter, can easily break down a roof. In this area, every year your home and roof is exposed to high winds and deterioration from relentless exposure to the sun. This is why you must have your shingles evaluated annually, or even semi-annually.
