When To Hire A Marietta Roof Replacement Company

By Andrew B. Spates


In order to protect the structure of your home, it is important to ensure that the roof remains in good condition. Inspecting roofs every year is essential. Most roofs also need to be replaced after twenty to fifty years depending on the material used. Most experts agree that typical asphalt shingle roofs last between twenty and twenty five years. If your home has asphalt shingles, you should replace the roofing system if it is older than 20 years. For the best outcome, you should use the services of a reputable Marietta roof replacement company.

Other than aging, you can seek the assistance of a roofing replacement firm for various reasons. You can hire such a company if there are several missing shingles. This could be a sign of a failing roofing system. The other sign is shingles which appear dull and flat. Roofing shingles do not drain water well when their granules wear out.

You may also replace your roofing system if the edges of the shingles have started curling. This is usually a result of poor ventilation or an asphalt shingle base that has dried out. When you notice curling, it is a good idea to replace the roofing system because once this process starts it cannot be reversed.

The other reason why you should hire a roofer is when you notice bubbled or cracked shingles. When shingles are damaged in this manner, they are likely to come loose. This can damage your roofing system further or cause injuries.

Another sign that consumers should hire a roofing replacement company is when moss starts growing on shingles. Moss needs moisture to thrive. Therefore, if there is moisture on a roof, this is a sign that the shingles are damaged. However, before they decide to replace such a roofing system, homeowners should first remove the moss and check the condition of the shingles beneath it.

Another indication that your roof needs to be replaced is the presence of shingle granules in the guttering system. When shingles become very old, they usually lose a higher number of granules. The other indications that you need to replace your roofing system include a light that comes through the roofing boards and damages to flashings around the skylights, stacks, chimneys and racks.

After you decide to hire a roofing replacement firm, you should get estimates from several roofing companies. The estimates should include the cost of removing and disposing the old roofing materials, hourly rates for structural repairs and the costs of installing or replacing gutters. If possible, you should schedule a roofing replacement project during dry weather.
