Reasons Your Roof May Need to be Replaced

TRUST THE EXPERTS AT BIG BOY’S CONSTRUCTION

From storm damage and age to aesthetics or structural damage, there are various reasons for needing a new roof installed; but the reason for needing a new roof isn’t always obvious or visible. In some cases, damage can occur from a storm and it may not become visible until months or years later. The roofing contractors at Big Boy’s Construction understand that making the decision to get a new roof installed isn’t easy. It can greatly affect your finances, schedule, the value of your home, and the overall appearance of your home.

Whatever the specifics of your situation are, determining if you need a new roof will start with a complete roof inspection. Big Boy’s Construction uses drone technology to get a big picture of your roof, as well as close-up inspections of various elements of the structure of the roof. With a thorough inspection, we can look at whether your roof needs a full replacement or if repairs will suffice.

These are a few things our team will look for during your roof inspection:

Any shingles that are missing, torn, broken, cupped, or curled.
Significant granule loss on the shingles.
Mold or moss growth on large areas of the roof.
Leaks that have penetrated your home.
Soft or rotten roof sheathing.
Any damage to the roof’s flashing, dormers, side walls, eaves, or rakes.
Poor ventilation and any related damage.
Poor insulation and any related damage.

Depending on the results of the inspection, it is highly important that any necessary action is taken right away, whether it’s minor to large repairs or a new roof installation. If there has been any damage to the roof, or if wear and tear over the years have caused problems, they will only get worse the longer they are left untreated. Minor roof repairs can quickly become large issues that can cost significantly more. Regardless of what the inspection finds, you can trust the contractors at Big Boy’s Construction for honest and reliable opinions. We are a native Indiana, family-owned roofing company, and we are committed to treating your home as one of our own.

An aging roof is often the biggest reason for a new roof installation, but it’s not the only reason.

Severe Storm Damage

When a major storm comes through the Indianapolis area, it is incredibly important to schedule a roofing inspection in order to determine if damage has occurred that may require roof repairs or replacement. Storm damage can include wind blowing shingles off the roof, strong winds causing branches to fall on the roof, or hail has caused dimpling in the shingles or even damaged the underlying sheathing, skylights, put holes in the shingles, or damaged vents. Whatever damage a storm has caused your roof, the contractors at Big Boy’s Construction will ensure that your roof is fully repaired or professionally replaced in order to protect your home and belongings.

Factors Have Aged Your Roof Prematurely

It’s not just storm damage that can cause your roof to age before it’s time, aging can also be caused by normal weather conditions. Without proper ventilation, certain weather conditions can cause ice dams in the winter to form. If there is a particularly wet and humid spring and summer, it can cause mold or moss growth and expansion. These factors can lead to structural damage and leaks, putting your home and belongings at risk.

Increase Your Home Value

If you’re looking to put your house on the market, or getting ready to rent it out, a roof replacement could help improve the value of your home, or at the very least increase its curb appeal. You wouldn’t want to replace a roof without cause, of course, but if the roof is pushing 15 years or more, it could significantly help the selling or renting process. You will also be giving the new owner or renter peace of mind knowing that they don’t have to worry about the safety or efficiency of the roof.

Remodeling Project

If you’re planning a home addition or if you’re adding a skylight, dormers, or other feature to your home or roof, it may be the perfect time to have the roof replaced. With a home addition, there is often a difference in appearance between the old and new roof. With skylights or dormers, roof work will also need to be done. While it depends on the age and condition of the roof, many homeowners choose to simply replace the entire roof to keep everything looking consistent.
