It is recommended to inspect your roof at least twice a year, typically in the spring and fall. Additionally, you should inspect your roof after any major storm or severe weather event.
The lifespan of a roof depends on the materials used. Asphalt shingles typically last 20-30 years, wood shingles can last up to 30 years, metal roofs last 40-70 years, and slate roofs can last over 100 years with proper maintenance.
Common signs include missing, cracked, or curling shingles, roof leaks, dark streaks from algae, sagging roof areas, and excessive granules in gutters.
The cost of a new roof can vary widely based on factors like the size of the roof, the materials chosen, and labor costs. On average, a new asphalt shingle roof can cost between $5,000 and $10,000, while metal roofs can range from $10,000 to $25,000.
In some cases, yes. If your existing roof is in good condition with no major issues, you may be able to install new shingles over it. However, if there are multiple layers of shingles or significant damage, it’s better to remove the old roof first.
