Why You Might Want to Add a New Roof to Your 2022 To-Do List

Now more than ever before, having a roof over your head is something to be incredibly grateful for – but can you be confident that your roof is as safe, solid, and strong as it should be? Roof issues can run the gamut from significant storm damage to other, far less obvious problems, often making it challenging to know when it’s time to repair or replacement.  

And yet, something as seemingly simple as a few exposed nails can quickly turn into a serious leak, water damage, and even the loss of your home’s structural integrity. Add that to the fact that many potential problems are virtually impossible to see from the ground, and you can see why so many homeowners are surprised to learn that their roof is in bad shape.

When it comes to checking in on the health of your roof, there’s really no such thing as too early or too often. Keep reading for a handy guide covering some of the most important signs you need a new roof and what you can do to ensure your roof is ready for that next big spring or summer storm.

 

Why You Might Want to Add a New Roof Might to Your 2022 To-Do List

When was the last time you thought about your roof? If you’re anything like most people, it’s probably been a while since you wondered about the roof on your home or business. Usually, unless a storm or another major event causes significant damage, many people go years without ever considering the integrity of their roof – but we’re here to explain why that needs to change.

Signs You Need a New Roof or Roof Repairs

You need to be able to depend on your roof, mainly because it’s the only thing standing between you, your family (or customers), and Mother Nature. Regularly-scheduled roof inspections are a key part of home maintenance, but you should immediately schedule a visit from a roofing expert if:

●      You can see exposed nails on your roof

●      Your roof has missing or loose shingles/tiles

●      You’ve noticed a buildup of shingle granules in your gutters

●      There is sagging in the middle or along the ridges of the roof

●      Your roof has a leak

Even if your roof seems to be holding up just fine, if it’s more than 15 years old, a professional can tell you about how long it has left.

What to Do if Your Roof is Damaged in a Storm

Sometimes, you don’t have to look for the signs of roof damage – because the damage is painfully obvious. After a severe storm, your home may be worse for wear. Whether you’re dealing with hail damage, a lightning strike, a large leak, or any other issue, your first step should be contacting a trusted storm damage restoration team.

Ideally, you’ll want to work with a company experienced in both storm damage and roofing repair/replacement. That way, you can ensure a speedy service experience that minimizes stress and expense. A professional inspection is essential even if your home recently weathered a major weather event, but you aren’t sure if the roof sustained any damage.
