Why You Shouldn’t Delay a Roof Replacement Project

Roof replacement can do a lot of things for your home. There comes a time when replacing your roof is necessary, but what exactly happens if you don’t get a new roof when you need to? Unfortunately, roofing issues don’t go away just because you don’t want to deal with them or don’t even know they are there in the first place, resulting in even more problems. 

Our residential and  commercial roof repair  specialists, Larry Walty Roofing & Guttering Inc. give you the rundown on the dangers of delaying replacements.

1. Structural Damage

Leaks left to worsen will eventually lead to structural damage, as moisture continues to seep into roof decking and other supporting structures. Structural damage is a big deal because it may have started with your roof but it’s not going to end there, affecting your entire home down the line.

2. Health Risk

Excessive moisture and humidity in your home can encourage mold and mildew growth. They can also allow pests into your living spaces. These growths and pests can cause different health problems. The presence of mold can also add to the cost of your  roof repair  or replacement project. 

3. Water Leaks

Leaks typically occur when the protective barrier of roofing materials starts to deteriorate. For instance, when shingle granules wear off or roof tiles develop cracks, water could easily find a way into your home. It’s crucial to address leaks immediately because they can turn into bigger problems quickly. Sooner or later, you’ll likely be dealing with structural damage.

4. Lower Home Value

Whether you’ve had your house on the market or you’re planning to list it in a couple of years, it’s a good idea to have your roof inspected by an expert to see whether it might be holding you back from fielding a good offer. Although roof replacement isn’t always necessary before selling, a home that’s in dire need of a roof replacement could fail to sell for a fair price.

If you’re wondering if it’s time for a new roof for your home, the best way to know for sure is to call an ethical and experienced roof replacement company.
