Understanding Shingle Roof Replacement
An asphalt shingle roof is, by far, the most common roof material in the United States. Its combination of affordability and durability means it can be installed in different types of structures across different locations. It is strong enough to last many years amidst hot summers, damaging storms, and freezing winters.
However, if not properly maintained, asphalt shingles can deteriorate rather quickly. Its extended exposure to the elements can cause its granules to lose oils, which makes it brittle. Cracks and other damages can then form, which will cause more issues like water damage, molds, mildew, and more.
For most homeowners, it becomes necessary to replace an old, brittle roof to ensure that the rest of the house will not be damaged.
Here are a few things that you should remember when conducting roof replacement.
- Cost – Roof options come at various quality and price. Standard three-tab asphalt shingles can cost anywhere from $7,000 to $12,000. These usually last from 10 – 15 years. Premium shingle materials which last up to 30 years can cost up to $15,000. Top-quality shingles which last up to 50 years are usually up to $20,000. The pitch and number of roof faces will all play a role in your roof replacement cost.
- Weather – One of the most important considerations in conducting a roof replacement project is the weather. You do not want your roof contractors to work under extreme conditions. That is why it is ideal to start the replacement during late spring or early fall when the temperature is generally mild. Watch out for heavy showers on the weather forecast.
- Local Building Codes – In the past, it was a common practice to lay the new shingle roof on top of the existing ones (sometimes up to two layers). However, recent updates in building codes in some jurisdictions do not allow such practices anymore. One major concern is the additional weight which can cause structural issues, especially for older houses. Moreover, irregularities from the old shingles may be repeated in the new installation, which will not solve any underlying issues.
Deterioration of asphalt shingles is of the major reasons for total roof replacement. Fortunately, membrane provides an easier option.
