Why it might be time to replace your roof
We totally understand that as a home or business owner, you are dread to hear the news that not only your roof needs work, the whole thing needs to be replaced. However, roofs are just like any other structure that will be affected by time, wear and tear, and nature—essentially the three biggest culprits of substantial roof damage that will lead to a necessary roof replacement. Let’s take a look at each.
Time
When your roof is old, your roof is old. Based upon the material that comprises the primary layer of your roof, your roof has a life span that may range from 15 to 100 years. According to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development as well as the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors, roofs typically have the following life spans:
- Asphalt shingles (most common type of residential roof): 25-50 years
- Metal: 40-80 years
- Wood shakes and shingles: 25-30 years (typically common in older homes)
- Clay and concrete tile: 50-100 years
- Slate: 60-175 years
The overwhelming majority of homeowners have asphalt shingle roofs. Keep in mind, however, Houston’s climate may affect these stated approximated life spans. Also, consider that roofs typically have time-limited warranties, and thus your roof may no longer have warranty coverage.
Nature
Houston’s climate is notorious for three things—heat, humidity, and storms. All three of these things can do a number on a roof over time and in the case of storms, can do severe, acute damage that can cause shingles and other protective coverings to be damaged, allowing moisture to get in corrupt the integrity of the support structure of your roof.
You may start to notice significant leaks within your home, clogged gutters, and fallen shingles among other things. Altogether, these are tell tale signs that it is time to replace your roof.
Wear and tear
As a consequence of time and nature, your roof will experience significant wear and tear. Shingles may become curled, warped, and fall off. Metal may have dings and dents from storms. Clay and concrete tile may crack due to time and weather. Regardless of what exacerbates the wear and tear, a clearly damaged, compromised roof will eventually have to be replaced.
