Increasing your home’s value – Even when your roof doesn’t appear worn, it can make sense to replace your roof to increase the curb appeal of your home. Usually, this is done in preparation for selling a house. When roof replacement is combined with other exterior updates, it can make all the difference when it comes to upping the real estate value. 

Your roof is worn – Over time, your roof will begin to look worn. For example, asphalt roof shingles will typically last anywhere from 15 to 25 years. When you add storm damage, mold or moss growth, or any other natural factors, it can greatly diminish your roof’s lifespan. If you start to notice other signs that your roof is damaged, it is a good idea to replace. If you delay installing a new roof, you risk even more severe problems with your home.

Repairing storm damage – North Carolina isn’t a stranger to storms, especially during hurricane season. High winds will sometimes blow roof shingles off the roof, creating obvious empty areas that will need to be replaced. There can also be damage that is caused by tree branches or entire trees to land on the roof, which will damage the roof structure as well as roof shingles. Rather than just fixing several spots on your roof, it is usually a good idea to replace the entire roof. 

Completing a major remodel – When you’re doing a major remodel project on your home, you might be building an addition, dormers, or skylights. These types of changes require changes to your roofline and the installation of new roofing. Rather than having a mix of new and old roofing, many homeowners decide on installing a new roof in the process of their remodel.
