Don't ignore repairing or replacing your roof when there are signs that it needs work. It will lead to damaging the entire structure of your home as it becomes more exposed to the elements, which is detrimental to your siding, interior, and foundation.

If you're noticing leaks in your roof, then it has already been compromised. It is recommended by the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) that you get your home's roof inspected at least twice a year – preferably every spring and fall. Inspecting the roof for certain signs will help prevent total roof damage. Signs are:

• Missing or cracked shingles
• Blistering or peeling paint 
• Soggy and damp shingles 
• Leakage in the attic 
• Chimney leaks
• Discoloration of shingles

There are many other signs that your home's roof needs to be replaced. We can help find them and point them out (if any).

A roof has an average lifespan of about 20 years. It may vary depending on the roof material and roof type, as some materials have a longer lifespan and some roof types and materials don't last as long.

It's always best when replacing a roof to TEAR OFF the existing one rather than ROOF OVER the old one. Most of the time we recommend your old roof be completely removed, as we need to address the root of the problem before covering it up again. Unless the initial roof is a single, problem-free layer (which we check for), or a standing seam metal roof, it's best to avoid having more problems in the future by removing the old roof. 

It's hard to give an exact answer without looking at your roof, as the time it will take depends on the type of roof. With most residential properties, we are able to replace a roof anywhere from one day to a week. 

We STRONGLY recommend you don't do this, as the labor and logistics are sometimes overwhelming for the untrained and inexperienced. It's also very unsafe to be on your roof without proper equipment and training. 

What is the best roof? As this is a subjective question, we wish we had a simple answer for this – what may be best for your neighbor's roof might not be best for your roof. It depends on your roof's pitch, shape, and style.

Metal is one of the most practical roofing materials on the market today. It offers a lifelong alternative to the problem-plagued roofing materials such as asphalt, clay, wood, and gravel.

Roof Masters Premium steel products are manufactured from Galvalume, which is the most rust-resistant coating on the market today. In addition, they are painted with high-performance Kynar 500 or Hylar 5000 baked enamel.

All Roof Masters premium painted products carry a lifetime, non-prorated transferable warranty. The Kynar 500 / Hylar 5000 finish is warranted against fade for 35 years. There are metal roofs that have been protecting structures for more than 100 years.

One of the benefits of metal roofing is its lightweight, which allows it to be installed over existing roofing materials.

Metal roofing offers homeowners a lifelong solution. It is an investment in your home's future. Over the life of your home, metal roofing is probably the most economical roofing material because it will be the last roof you'll install. Traditional roofing materials have a limited life expectancy before one is faced with the expense of another roofing project.

Metal reflects 70% of the sun's energy. This minimizes heat retention, and as a result, less heat is transferred into the building's structure. Additionally, research done in 1985 by the Florida Solar Energy Center showed that metal experiences 34% less heat gain than asphalt shingles. Results also indicated that metal roofing offers an effect similar to R-11 insulation on top of the roof during sunny conditions.

Lightning is attracted to the highest point, not necessarily metal. A metal roof has no greater chance of being hit by lightning than any other type of roof. A metal roof struck by lightning can help prevent your home from catching fire because it can dissipate the electrical charge. Very importantly, it is noncombustible.

Metal is a preferred roofing material in hail-prone areas. Hail causes extensive damage to roofs because it can break, split and cause tear-off damage to traditional roofing materials. Hail will not penetrate a metal roof. In the most severe case, the various styles and finishes available in metal roofing can even help camouflage any cosmetic damage.
