2. Should I Replace The Shingles Or The Entire Roofing System?

2. Synthetic roof deck protection: Provides a second layer of protection to defend against roof rot.
3. Starter strip shingles: Prevents shingles from blowing off the roof.
4. Lifetime shingles: Top-of-the-line shingles that are designed to last a lifetime and provide the best value. High-quality asphalt roofing can yield a return on investment of 65.8%.

3. When Should I Replace My Roof?

Knowing when to replace a roof is one of our most popular questions. The optimum time to replace your roof is unquestionably when you've psychologically and financially budgeted for it. However, the time of year you choose to replace your roof also has a big impact on how well the process goes. You want to pick a time of year when roofers are easily accessible and the environment makes the process go well. Based on where you live the pros and cons will vary but bellow is our insight in Texas:

Spring

Ice and water damage are common throughout the winter months. Most homeowners are guilty of taking care of their roofs until after degradation has begun. The next spring season can be an excellent opportunity to replace your roof if you have been having leaks and cave-ins following the busy winter season. Positively, the spring season is not often hectic for roofers. However, because the weather is unpredictable, you can encounter rain delays that would cause your roof replacement job to be put off.

Summer

During the summer and early fall, we advise updating roofing systems. The weather is usually warm and reliable enough at this time to permit uninterrupted project execution. Unfortunately, a lot of roofing jobs have been scheduled during this great weather. The busiest time of year in Texas is often late spring to early summer. This implies that you'll likely have to cope with expensive roof replacement costs and constrained contractor availability.

Fall & Winter

Fall is renowned for having a steady and temperate climate, making it the best time of year for roofing replacement work. You could decide to do this throughout the fall season if you have a natural feeling to fully prepare for the winter season. You might notice that this time of year is a little busier than normal as homes scramble to get ready for the winter season. Due to the snow, ice, and chilly temperatures that make working on the roof difficult, winter is unquestionably the least desired season to repair your roof.

4. Is A New Roof A Good Investment ?

Quality roofing is one of the top home projects in the remodeling industry. New roof installation includes:

1. Increased curb appeal with varying shingle colors that add depth to the home.
2. Improved home value with 60%+ ROI.
3. Potential energy savings with professional roof installation and attic ventilation.
4. Ice and Water barrier protection for summer storm season.
5. Quality roofing replacement is designed to last for a lifetime

5. Will A New Roof Lower My Energy Bills?

If your roof is old and underperforming, roof replacement can help lower energy bills. It’s ideal that the attic remains close to the outside temperature, but overheating during the summer is a sign of inadequate ventilation. This can directly cause the HVAC to work in overdrive. A new roof lowers energy bills with ventilation and sound materials that prevent excess drafts and water leaks.
