Long-Term Benefits of Timely Roof Replacement

Timely Roof Replacement - Discover the Benefits

We all know that the roof on our house keeps our homes safe for our families. When there is a problem with your roof that allows water and pests to come inside, you must take care of it quickly before damage to your house becomes hazardous and costly. Instead of repairing the roof, the age of the roof may indicate replacement is needed. A typical roof lasts up to 30 years so it’s likely you may only replace it once during your time in the home. Timely replacement of your roof when it has reached its useful life has not only short-term benefits of making your home safe but also benefits that are long-term like avoiding potential hazards, giving you peace of mind, saving costs, and improving the value of your home. 

At Allied Roofing Solutions, we are well aware how replacing your roof in a timely manner can produce long-term benefits. In this article, we want to give you five benefits you will get by  replacing your roof when it’s time and not waiting until the damage is excessive.

Benefits of Replacing Your Roof

These are the five biggest benefits you see when you replace your roof.

Return on Investment

One of the biggest benefits of replacing your roof is the return on the investment you get. Even though you may think the expense of replacing your roof is large and you may be considering repairing the roof, a new roof is one of the things you can do to increase your investment’s return when you sell the house. Spending money on a new roof can improve your home’s property value by as much as $12,000. It both increases the beauty of your home as well as the functional value which help you sell your home when it is time.

Saves Money Through Energy Efficiency

An old roof doesn’t do a very good job of keeping your energy bills down. Air conditioning and heat escape a roof that isn’t as strong as it was when it was newer because an old roof can have gaps and places where air leaks in or out. Newer shingles are designed better in keeping your house dry, warm in the winter, and cooler in the summer. This means your HVAC system works less to keep your home at a comfortable temperature all year long, thus saving you money in the long run.

Provides a Healthier, Safer Home

A new roof makes your home a healthier and safer one. An older roof doesn’t always repel water away from the house so water and moisture comes inside. Even though a leak may be small and slow, water and moisture build up over time to create mold and mildew that causes potential health problems for your family. Mold can cause problems with eyes, nose, throat, and lungs and is extremely harmful if someone has allergies or asthma. 

The roof also protects your home from debris, falling trees, and wind. An older roof begins to lose its structural soundness so it is less able to withstand hazards from the outdoors. If an old roof is close to the end of its lifespan it can be in danger of failing due to instability and it can even collapse. By replacing an old roof, you keep your home structurally sound, safe, and able to withstand the elements.

Solving Future Problems

If your roof is showing signs of roof damage, replacing it in its entirety allows you to fix everything. Instead of worrying when you have bad weather like rain storms or high winds, replacing your roof will give you peace of mind that your family and possessions are protected. As the problems get more severe, it is wise to get a new roof. Getting a professional roof inspection will provide accurate information about the current condition of your roof.

When you work with a professional reputable roofing company like Allied Roofing Solutions, your new roof will be covered under a manufacturer’s warranty for many years to come. Most warranties last anywhere from 25 to 50 years and will protect you if the materials break or become damaged. Faulty installation is not covered, so it is imperative that you choose a roof construction company that is experienced.

At Allied Roofing Solutions, our designation as an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred roofing contractor ensures that you are getting not only the very best product but also a 50-year warranty on shingles and workmanship.

Adding to the Curb Appeal of your Home

The curb appeal of your house will improve tremendously with a new roof. When you have a poorly maintained and patched-up roof, it is an eyesore that reduces the value of your home. Not only is the value of your home affected, so are the homes of your neighbors. A poorly maintained home affects the property values in an entire neighborhood. By keeping your home well maintained, you will keep the value of the homes around you up as well as yours.
