You can't afford to ignore your roofing needs. Your roof is an expensive and physically large part of your home. The choices you make concerning your roof will impact your home and budget for years to come. You should give careful thought and research to roofing choices. Even though a new roof is one type of exterior project that usually recovers 100% of your costs, according to Ruby Home, you still need to make thoughtful decisions. Here are three good reasons you might want to consider getting a roofing estimate.

Aging Roof

Like most aspects of your home, your roof has an age limit on it. The lifespan of most roofs is about 25-30 years depending on the type of material you use and the maintenance that's performed on it over the years, according to Forbes. You don't want to wait until the roof starts to deteriorate, though. You want to start planning a roof replacement early. This way you won't wind up wasting money on roof repairs that aren't really addressing the problem.

Storm Damage

When storms and severe weather come through your area, it can negatively impact your roof. Debris can penetrate the roof and cause leaks while high winds can blow shingles right off. If your roof has sustained damage recently, you'll want to call in local roofers for a roofing estimate. They'll be able to inspect the roof and determine what, if any, repairs need to be made. You should do this soon after severe weather so that any damage that may be present doesn't get worse over time. Remember, roofing damage is always progressive. This means that the problems get bigger and more expensive if you ignore them.

Leaks

If you've noticed interior leaks in your home coming from the roof, you need a roofing estimate immediately. An interior leak means that you have severe roof damage somewhere. The damage is so severe that moisture has gotten through the shingles, flashing, attic, insulation, and ceiling. This calls for not only roof repairs or replacement but also interior repairs to your attic, insulation, ceiling, and possibly walls.

These are just a few signs that you might want to schedule a roofing estimate with local roofing contractors. If you're looking for professionals in your area, please contact us at Kirkey Roofing Inc today. Our team with over 70 years of experience looks forward to helping you!
