New Roof

Your roof has a lifespan of 20 to 30 years. Exceeding this can lead to serious weather damage. A full replacement also prevents the need for constant repairs

If your roof is in poor condition, a complete tear-off and replacement are necessary. Signs of a damaged roof include severely curled tabs, granule loss or bald spots, and sagging.

If your roof doesn’t have proper air flow, its lifespan will reduce quickly; especially in hotter regions. Poor ventilation can also impact your manufacturer’s warranty. A general rule of thumb is to have 1 square foot of ventilation for every 100 square feet of attic space, with the ventilation evenly distributed between intake and exhaust.

If your roof has more than one layer of roofing, it must be removed. In most cases, this is a building code requirement, which typically does not allow more than two layers of roofing.

If you find yourself dealing with multiple leaks, whether in the same location or across different areas of your home, it’s crucial to have your roof thoroughly evaluated. Leaks can also appear as dry rot on the fascia, caused by water seeping under your roof and exiting through the fascia. Addressing the issue can help protect your home and ensure its longevity.

Sagging areas and soft spots between rafters or trusses typically indicate damaged or deteriorated wood. If there is any suspicion of poor decking, a complete tear-off should be considered to prevent larger issues in the future.
