The 3 Best Reasons to Install New Roofing
As your roof ages, the shingles can deteriorate, get blown off, or start to buckle. A typical asphalt roof should last roughly 20 to 25 years, after which it needs to be replaced. Below, the staff at Highmark Exteriors, an experienced roofing and siding company in Savage, MN, explains some of the benefits of getting a new roof.
3 Benefits of Installing New Roofing
1. Improved Curb Appeal
As it loses shingles and becomes discolored in the sun, an aging roof can start to look faded, patchy, and generally unattractive. Moreover, if the old roof is starting to sag, it can make the house seem "tired" or worn down. New roofing materials and a firmer roof deck will help the house look brighter and crisper, improving its curb appeal overall.
2. Lower Insurance Premiums
It depends on the insurer, but in many cases, you can qualify for a reduced insurance premium by installing a new roof. Insurance companies realize that a professionally installed roof comprised of state-of-the-art materials will better withstand wind, hail, and other hazards. This reduces their risk, so they frequently return the favor with a discounted rate. Ask your agent if you'll qualify for this type of discount.
3. Fewer Energy Costs
A new roof typically includes better insulation. This means the house is easier to keep cool in the summer and warm in the winter, so you can enjoy lower energy bills throughout the year. Additionally, less winter heat loss means snow on the roof won't melt and form ice dams, which can endanger passersby and damage both the roofing and gutter system.
A new roof offers the benefits above as well as peace of mind that your home is safer from water and storm damage.
