WHEN IS IT TIME TO GET A NEW ROOF?

Especially after a hailstorm, a wind storm, or a heavy snowstorm, this question crosses homeowners’ minds. You may be asking yourself, “Is it time to replace my roof?” The following pointers can help you gauge whether or not it’s time for a roof replacement.

CONSIDER THE AGE OF YOUR HOME

Our region is graced by established neighborhoods with charming older homes, many of them historic. While the architectural styles and mature landscaping add to the beauty of these communities, the advanced age of many of these homes points to the need for maintenance, including roof replacement.

How old is your house? If your home is over 20 years old and the roof has never been replaced, it’s probably time to get a new one. If you notice nearby neighbors getting a new roof, that’s an indication that you may need new roofing, too. Typically, homes within the same neighborhood were built at around the same time; the fact that neighbors are replacing their roofs means that, age-wise, the roofing materials in your development have reached the limit of their lifespan, and your roof’s structural integrity may be compromised.

Wear and Tear Factors

Regardless of the age of your house, wear and tear can significantly impact the integrity of your roof. In many of our communities, we’ve been experiencing more weather extremes in recent years. We’re seeing longer-duration hailstorms and larger hailstones. Strong windstorms with microbursts are not uncommon, and not just in the spring. Snowstorms with large accumulations are also becoming more commonplace.

These acts of nature can diminish your roofing materials’ durability, especially when both the frequency and duration of these events increases. Even on a year when storms are mild, there’s another culprit to consider — the sun. Intense heat and ultraviolet radiation beating down day in and day out degrades your roof. So, even if you’re not experiencing extreme weather, your roof is going through significant wear and tear just from sunlight.

• Expansion and Contraction: Daily temperature fluctuations can cause a significant degree of expansion and contraction in each tile. Moisture also has a noticeable effect.
• Cracking: Everything from intense sun to repeated cycles of getting wet (from rain, snow, or fog) and drying up (from sunshine and wind) can lead to shingles and other roof components cracking.
• Worn Shingles: Over time, weather wreaks havoc on shingles’ protective coatings, wearing them thin and leading to roof degradation.

GETTING AN ESTIMATE DOESN’T COST YOU ANYTHING!

If you’re not sure if it’s time to get a new roof, the best thing you can do is get an estimate. It’s absolutely free, so it costs nothing to find out if you need a roof replacement in the near future, or if it can wait several years. Get a free estimate for your own peace of mind. And, if it turns out that you do need your roof replaced now, it’s better to take care of it in a timely manner before your roof leaks and you have a bigger, more costly problem on your hands.

ROOF REPLACEMENT VERSUS ROOF REPAIR

Another question homeowners may ask themselves is, “Should I replace my roof, or should I simply have it repaired?” There are cases where the repair option exists, and you’ll have to weigh the pros and cons carefully before reaching a decision. Sometimes, though, you don’t have a choice; the roof is degraded to such an extent that you have to replace it. In general, here are things to consider when you’re wondering whether to repair or replace.

How much of the roof surface needs to be addressed?

If most of your roof is still relatively new and in good condition, then roof repair may be the appropriate choice. Perhaps there’s just a small portion of your roof that’s showing significant wear; it could be a few tiles that have blown off in a strong windstorm, for example. There’s no need to replace the entire roof when only a few pieces here and there need to be swapped out with new materials.

ASPHALT SHINGLE ROOFING

The most popular type of residential roofing material, asphalt shingle roofing is also very cost effective. There are many types of shingles to choose from, including designer styles. You can choose from many different colors, and we can match the current color of your roof, if you prefer.

Asphalt shingles are highly durable, able to resist both moisture and heat. These shingles have a protective coating for optimum performance and durability. At Adept Construction, we recommend fiberglass asphalt shingles for a superior, long-lasting product. For a terrific look, opt for architectural shingles, which are also called three-dimensional or laminate shingles. They create a textured appearance that enhances a home’s beauty.

FLAT ROOFING

It’s not uncommon to find homes with flat roofs in our region, especially older, historic properties. Flat roofing offers certain advantages in terms of increasing a home’s usable space, since flat roofs can be used as living areas. Possibilities include rooftop patios or gardens.

As you’d expect, there are unique challenges associated with flat roof designs. Roofers have to design and build a slight incline into any new flat roof installation, since pooling water is not acceptable. Installing a flat roof involves adding plywood sheathing, topping with an underlayment, beveling corners, dry-fitting the roofing, gluing down roofing material, and finishing the edges. It takes a great deal of skill to do the job right. At Adept Construction, our roofers possess that level of skill to complete the job expertly.

CEDAR SHAKE ROOFING

Another popular option is cedar shake roofing, which comes in shakes or shingles. These quality wood shingles hold up well in harsh weather because, being made of wood, they “breathe.” What’s more, cedar is known to be a natural insulator, which can save you money on your energy bills.

Cedar shake roofing comes in many different styles and colors you can choose from, with a range of finishes to achieve the look you want. Cedar wood can beautifully complement your home’s architectural design, and it holds up well to moisture, wind, and intense sun. Cedar shakes and shingles are treated at the factory to resist fire, fungus, and other dangers, and their natural preservatives make them insect resistant, too.

COMPOSITE ROOFS

As local roofers serving Naperville and beyond, Adept Construction also does many composite roof installations. This type of roofing makes use of a combination of materials, which may include asphalt, fiber cement, and recycled plastic. The result is a highly durable roof that contributes to your home’s aesthetics while being lighter and less expensive than slate or clay roofs.

Our customers choose composite roofing for its strength, beauty, and performance, and also for cost savings. With composite roofs, you won’t see the material warp or peel. We’ll help you select the right types of composite roofing material to accentuate your home’s curb-appeal while performing well in our Illinois climate.

Roof Weight

Some roof types are not practical because they add too much weight to the house. The new roofing materials can’t be too heavy for the existing framing. Reputable roofers will know if a specific roof will be too heavy for the structure it’ll sit upon, and they’ll let you know that this choice is not a practical one.

Building Codes

You may have a great idea for a unique roof that will complement your home beautifully, but the question is, will it meet local building codes? Again, local roofers with ample experience in this area will know what is and what isn’t possible in terms of local rules and ordinances.

Environmentally Friendly

Increasingly, roofing material is made to be more eco-friendly. Customers may opt to choose natural materials, or roofing shingles made from recycled materials. In addition, some materials can be recycled when the roof is replaced.

Fire Resistant

The last thing anybody wants to worry about is a fire, but it should give you peace of mind to know that your roof is made from fire-resistant materials. Ask about the fire-resistant quality of the roof type you plan to have installed. In particular, fiberglass asphalt shingles and treated wood have excellent fire-retardant properties.

Ask your friendly local roofers about other roofing considerations you should keep in mind. The roofing specialists at Adept Construction are ready to share our extensive knowledge with you so you can make the right roof replacement decision you’ll be happy with throughout the life of your new roof!
