Roof replacement: Everything you need to know before getting one

September 10th, 2020

What is a roof replacement?

A roof replacement involves removing old or damaged roofing materials and installing a new roof to ensure the structure remains safe, energy-efficient, and weather-resistant.

Full vs. partial roof replacement

  • Full Roof Replacement: This involves tearing off the entire existing roof and installing a completely new system. It is ideal when extensive damage is present.
  • Partial Roof Replacement: Only damaged sections are replaced, making it a cost-effective option when the majority of the roof remains in good condition.

Signs you need a new roof

If you notice any of the following signs, it may be time to consider a roof replacement:

Age of the roof

Most roofing materials have a lifespan of 20-30 years. If your roof is nearing this age, replacing it before significant issues arise is a smart decision.

Frequent leaks and water damage

Persistent leaks or water stains on ceilings and walls indicate a failing roof that is no longer providing adequate protection.

Missing, cracked, or curling shingles

Damaged shingles compromise the roof’s ability to protect against moisture and extreme weather conditions.

Sagging roof structure

A sagging roof indicates potential structural damage, often caused by water infiltration or weakened supports.

Granule loss

Excessive granules in gutters or downspouts mean your shingles are deteriorating, reducing their effectiveness and lifespan.

Increased energy bills

A failing roof can lead to poor insulation, causing heating and cooling costs to rise due to air escaping through damaged areas.

Mold or moss growth

Excessive moss or mold buildup indicates trapped moisture, which can weaken the roof’s integrity over time.

Roof replacement cost

The cost of a roof replacement depends on factors such as material, size, labor, and location. On average:

  • Asphalt Shingle Roof: $5,000 – $12,000
  • Metal Roof: $10,000 – $25,000
  • Tile Roof: $15,000 – $30,000
  • Flat Roof: $8,000 – $20,000

Additional costs may include structural repairs, permits, and disposal fees. Consulting with a professional ensures accurate cost estimates and proper installation.
