Trusted Anne Arundel County Roof Replacement Professionals

Your roof serves as the front line of defense for your home. While often the most neglected and forgotten about piece of your home until a leak springs, it is truly one of the most important parts to your house! It keeps your family and belongings dry from the elements!

There tends to be a few reasons that you may be considering hiring a roofing contractor, or having a free roof inspection for your home:

Storm Damage to Your Roof

Your roof faces the elements year after year. Whether it endures hailstorms, windstorms, gusting hurricane winds, blizzards, or ice dams, your roof never takes a day off. As your roof ages, hail and wind can start to wear down your roof, which impacts its ability to serve its primary function: shedding water away from your home. It is important to have your roof inspected quickly after a storm as the longer it is pushed off, the more expensive long-term repairs can become. What starts as a small leak can quickly exacerbate as your roof faces future wind storms and direct UV rays.

Missing shingles? Curling or broken shingles? Hail indents evident on your roof or gutters or siding? Water spots developing on your ceiling or experiencing leaks after a storm? It may be a good idea for a roof inspection from licensed professionals!

Improper Roof Installation

Unfortunately, not every roof is properly installed to manufacturer guidelines or code by every roofing contractor. As such, an improperly installed roof may lead to swift roof failure in just a matter of a few short years – well short of it’s expected life expectancy. This may be evident if your roof starts leaking shortly after being replaced, or water-spots begin developing. Improper installation could be a sign of the workmanship, or potentially defective materials. Other times, a leaky roof may just be a symptom of a minor problem, such as flashing or water leaking through your skylight.

Aging Roof

As much as we wish roofs would last forever, the reality is that they only have a limited lifespan. A shingles asphalt roof may last 15-20 years, while a metal roof may last for 40 years or longer! If you have an aging roof, particularly if it has endured numerous storms over its lifespan, it may be time to have your roof replaced. Patch up repairs tend to be risky on aging roofs as it could do more harm, and hold-up for only a short period. As such, repairs can become more costly versus having an older roof replaced.

Selling/Buying Home

Your roof helps add to the curb appeal of your home. A new roof can increase your home’s curb appeal and selling value, which can make it a good idea to have your roof replaced prior to listing. On the other hand, you may be purchasing a new home, and as part of the negotiation process, you agreed to replace the roof on your own after purchase. Or, perhaps you aren’t sure how old the roof is on a new home that you purchased. We can help put on a brand-new roof for your home that will last for years!
