Everyday, your roof is exposed to the elements. It undergoes the harsh UV rays of the summer, and the snow and ice in the winter. Due to the constant exposure of harsh weather conditions, the lifetime of a roof is typically around 20-25 years. As a roof shows signs of damage, it often indicates that it has been undergoing damage for an extended amount of time. Other times, signs of damage to a roof can be hard to spot, which is why is it essential to find a roofing contractor who provides inspections, repairs, and full replacement services. If your roof is older, or shows potential signs of damage, it may be time to get a roof replacement.

Here are the advantages of getting a roof replacement:

Yields a high ROI. Overall, home improvement projects made to the exterior of your home yield the highest return on investment. A new roof can have an impressive 62.9 percent return. Although it may not be as exciting as other home improvement projects, a new roof is one of the best investments you can add to your home.

Enhanced Curb Appeal. Your roof can account for a large portion of the overall look of your home's curb appeal. It is estimated that about 40 percent of your home's exterior aesthetic is largely due to your roof.

Cost Effective. A new roof, if properly installed, can help to save you money on your energy bills each month. Professionally installed insulation to your roof system will save you $$$ on heating and cooling costs. Some roofing manufactures offer Energy Star Shingles, such as CertainTeed.

Health and Safety. A roof that shows signs of deterioration can be a major health hazard. If not replaced in time, that old dilapidated roof can cause sections of your home to be unstable-and possibly even collapse. A new roof will keep your home and family safe.
