Wisconsin homeowners, like those everywhere, know how important it is to have a sturdy roof to keep water damage, pest infestation, and other problems at bay. Depending on the quality of the shingles and how well they were installed, the average lifespan of a shingle roof is between 20 and 25 years.
Unfortunately, shingle roofs can degrade as time passes. Over time, the shingles on your roof may deteriorate and possibly warp. If your shingles have developed dark stains, bald areas, or moss, it will be best to have them replaced. Damage to your roof might result in water leaks and mold growth in your attic. Without the proper attention, the mold's negative effects on human health will become more apparent as it spreads across your home.
Even if you haven't had any problems with your roof, you should probably start thinking about replacing it if it has been over two decades since it was first installed.
When it comes to replacing your shingle roof, the Wisconsin-based experts at Bulldog Builders offer the experience and expertise you can rely on at prices that won't break the bank. Get in touch with us so we can schedule an appointment for one of our professionals to give you a free estimate for a shingle roof replacement in Wisconsin.
Replace or Repair the Shingle Roof?
It's not the same thing to have your roof repaired as having it replaced.
When a roof is repaired, the damaged or deteriorating section is usually replaced. Roof repairs may be more cost-effective than replacement if your roof is less than two decades old, has been well-maintained, and has only sustained localized damage. If, for instance, only a few of your roof's shingles have curled, but the rest are in fine shape, it's possible to fix or replace the damaged ones without tearing off the entire roof.
To replace a roof, you must remove the old one completely. Fixing individual leaks can be less expensive in the short term, but if the roof regularly leaks, the repair expenses will pile up quickly. After 20 years from installation, if your roof has suffered significant wear and tear, our experts would likely advise you to get it replaced. Instead of making constant, small repairs to your roof, it may be more cost-effective to replace it entirely.
When Should I Replace My Shingle Roof?
There should be no question about the significance of a solid roof that protects the house's occupants. The winters in Wisconsin may be brutal, so a good roof is essential for keeping warm air inside. Moreover, it can shield you from extreme weather and block the entry of pests you'd rather not have in your home.
Here are several ways in which a new roof can improve your property:
- With a new roof, you won't have to worry about water damage or mold growth in the attic.
- By showing your insurance provider that you are actively taking measures to keep your home secure, such as installing a new roof, you may be able to reduce your premiums.
- Your home's curb appeal and resale value will rise when a new roof is installed.
Contact a Wisconsin roofing expert at Bulldog Builders if you have persistent water damage and pest problems, shingles that are curling, splitting, and forming bald patches, or other evidence of damage. We will walk you through all your options.
