Residential roofing systems have varying lifespans, depending on the material and environmental factors. Asphalt shingles, for instance, can last for 20-30 years before needing replacement. Metal roofs last even longer. Regardless of the type of roof that you have, it’s important to replace it when the time comes.
Delaying roof replacement can lead to several problems. Keep reading to learn some of the possible consequences when you fail to replace your roof on time.
Neglecting an old roof requiring replacement could lead to water damage. Any moisture that finds its way into your home can be dangerous as it can cause rot in your roof structure as well as electrical damage or hazards. We strongly recommend calling local roof repair contractors to have your roof replaced before severe damage occurs.
Structural damage can result from water infiltration. Once it reaches the inside of your home, moisture will cause the structural beams to wear and rot away. If you leave this problem unaddressed for a long time, it could potentially lead to a roof collapse and compromise your home’s structural integrity. Make sure to act quickly and don’t delay roof replacement.
If you’re selling your home, an old roof allows homebuyers to negotiate a lower price. After all, they’ll have to shoulder the cost of roof replacement when they purchase the house. Installing a new roof before listing your home can help boost property value and attract more buyers. It may even help to sell your home more quickly.
