HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED A NEW ROOF?

Sometimes, the signs of an aging roof are crystal clear. Other times, they’re more difficult to spot. For instance, storm damage can take several weeks or even years to reveal itself. No matter the reason, committing to a roof replacement is a big decision.

Signs you need a new roof include:

  • Roof warranty has expired
  • Roof is nearing or has passed its estimated lifespan
  • Broken or missing shingles or tiles
  • Some shingles are buckling or curling
  • “Balding” shingles, which have lost some of their granules
  • Shingle staining from algae, moss, mildew, and mold on your shingles
  • Damaged or missing flashing between your roof and chimney or siding
  • Cracks in roof sheathing or underlayment that allow light or water to leak through
  • Roof leaks

RETEX ROOFING & EXTERIORS can help you determine if the timing is right for your roof. Call us today at (352) 222-8777 .

THE TOP 5 REASONS TO CONSIDER A ROOF REPLACEMENT

Maybe you know you need a new roof, but you’ve put it off since it’s not leaking. But an older roof cannot protect your home as well as it should, and most shingle roofs in the Gainesville, FL area only last about 20 to 25 years due to Mother Nature’s wear and tear.

Being proactive can save you a lot of headache, interior damage, and money down the line.

Here are the top 5 reasons to consider a roof replacement:

Severe Storm Damage

Mother Nature can be hard on roofs:

  • Windstorms can cause shingles to tear away or hurl debris onto your roof.
  • Hail can cause dimples, crack the sheathing, damage vents, and shatter skylights.
  •  Heavy precipitation – whether rain, ice, or snow storms – can cause moisture to seep past your shingles.

It’s important to inspect your roof after any major storm to help prevent more costly repairs in the future.

Premature Aging

While a roofing material may come with an expected lifespan, natural wear-and-tear can decrease a roof’s longevity.

No matter your roof’s age, moss or mold growth, ice dams, and storm damage can drastically reduce its lifespan. Signs of premature aging are similar to those of a roof reaching the end of its life, including granule loss; loose, curling, or damaged shingles’ and excessive staining. Therefore, it’s important to inspect your roof periodically throughout its lifetime.

Home Value Improvement

Replacing your roof may boost its curb appeal and increase its resale value. A newly installed roof has a great return on your investment and may attract more homebuyers, increasing your home’s value.

Your Roof Is Turning Green – And Not In An Environmentally-Friendly Way

While most moss, mold, or mildews that grow on your roof are more superficial than damaging, allowing them to continue to grow on your roof neglects the underlying cause of their growth: The presence of moisture in or on your roof. While this algal growth doesn’t necessarily mean you need a new roof, you should consider a roof inspection by a reputable roofing contractor or hire a professional to clean the roof of its growing greenery to prevent your shingles from deteriorating.

Your Neighbors Are Replacing Their Roofs

Homes built around the same time, in the same neighborhood, have all experienced the same weather phenomena yours has. If your neighbors are replacing their roofs, it may signify that your roof is getting toward the end of its life expectancy.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN A RETEX ROOF REPLACEMENT

A full roof replacement requires more than stripping off your old roof and putting on a new one. Here’s what you can expect from our roof installation process:

  1. Preparation. Our crews will roll out tarps around your home to assist in our cleanup process and to protect your garden, siding, and air conditioner units. They will pay special attention to any furniture or possessions and protect them or ask you if they can move them out of the way.
  2. Tear-Off. They will then tear off your existing roof, starting from the ridge and moving down to the eaves. You may hear a lot of shoveling noises. It’s also the point at which the crew is able to assess the wood decking underneath for any damage or need for replacement.
  3. Moisture Barrier Installation. At this stage, the crew will install Ice & Water Shield, synthetic underlayment, drip edge, and any attic ventilation components.
  4. Roofing Material Installation. This step also includes the installation of flashing, pipe collars, and any skylights you may have.
  5. Cleanup. The crew will take time to clean your yard of debris, including old roofing materials, nails, and any plastic or paper waste. They will run a nail rake 2-3 times throughout your yard to ensure a clean and safe environment. They will wrap up the project by hauling away and disposing of debris.
