Timing a roof replacement doesn’t have to be challenging. The goal should be to reroof your home before you exceed the manufacturer’s lifespan estimate for the material. Waiting beyond that point is essentially waiting for the roof to fail. You may squeeze more life out of the roof. You may also experience water damage and other serious, expensive issues.
If you’re unsure of the condition or how old the roof is, schedule an inspection. A skilled, experienced inspector can perform a comprehensive evaluation of your roof. If it’s time to replace your roof, the inspector can show you why. If you don’t need reroofing yet, the inspector can provide you with an estimated timeline so that you can prepare.
Homeowners who opt for a roof replacement have a wide selection of options. It’s also important to note that you’re not limited to your current material. Converting to a different material is a practical option in most cases. Asphalt shingles are by far the most prevalent choice for new roofs. Basic three-tab shingles are among the cheapest roofing options. Architectural shingles are thicker and last longer. They’re also available in a wider selection of colors and styles, including designs that mimic other roofing materials.
Metal roofing systems are a trendy alternative to asphalt shingles. Traditional standing seam roofs can last 50 years. There are high-end metal roofs, including zinc, that can last 100 years or more. Cedar shingles and shakes provide a 50-year lifespan as well. Synthetic materials are also an alternative to asphalt. Among both asphalt and synthetic shingles, options like cool roofing materials help to improve comfort and lower heating and cooling costs.
Asphalt shingles and metal panels are popular options for many commercial buildings, too. For low-pitch roofs, TPO and EPDM are effective choices. These are both single-ply roofing membranes that are Class A fire-resistant. EPDM is usually cheaper by square foot than TPO, and the material generally lasts longer. The advantage of TPO is that it’s more durable and puncture-resistant.
