    Roofing

    How do I know if I need a new roof?

    There are often critical signs that your roof needs to be replaced. Red flags can include:

    Subtle roof damage. Missing or damaged shingles, shingle flotsam in your gutters and rusted or missing roof flashing are all key indicators that the health of your roof is waning. Any roof more than 10-15 years old is a prime candidate for replacement.

    Double layering. A double-layered roof has a stack of shingles and other roofing material built directly on top of an older roof system. This is an inexpensive, albeit unprofessional, way to solve immediate roof issues.

    In the long term, however, the added weight and corroding material covered by the double layering can cause serious problems to your roof deck and the very structure of your home. Double-layered roofs should be replaced as soon as possible.

    You’re putting your house up for sale. A new roof can be a crucial selling point for homebuyers. On the other hand, an older roof can kill an otherwise done deal.

    Homebuyers do not want to invest in a new roof shortly after purchasing a new home; they often will, however, happily pay your asking price if they know the roof is rock-solid and carries a transferable warranty.

    Sellers can often recoup 100 percent of the roof replacement cost. Replace your roof before you sell your home.

    How much does a new roof cost?

    There’s no single answer to this question. The cost of roof replacement depends on the size of your roof, the materials you select and the ease or difficulty of installation, among other factors.

    To give you even a rough estimate without visiting your home, viewing the condition of your roof or understanding your specific wants and needs for your roof replacement would be, we believe, irresponsible. Having a conversation with all of the decision-makers in your household is an important component of the LONG process.

    If you would like to find out more about the cost of roof replacement and arrange a home visit, contact us today.

    Siding

    Is siding my house worth the investment?

    If you are interested in improving the look, efficiency and value of your home, then yes, vinyl siding installation is worth the investment. Consider:

    Adding vinyl siding can improve your home’s ability to retain heat. As much as 25 percent of home heating can be lost through under-insulated walls.
