Roof Replacement in Boise

Replacing the roof on a home is one of the most important aspects of homeownership in the Boise area. Although it is not quite as exciting as some other decisions related to homes might be, it is a decision that increases home value and boosts the longevity of your home. In order to keep your home properly protected, having a fully functioning roof is critical. While it can be one of the more expensive replacements on your home, postponing the inevitable will only cause more harm to your home.

When to Repair and When to Replace

Deciding whether to repair or replace your roof can leave you extremely confused. When looking on the internet, you can find all sorts of articles that lead you to believe you should get your roof repaired, when it should really be replaced. If you are ever unsure of whether it is time to make this decision, consulting a reputable, professional company will be able to give you the correct advice on the integrity of your roof – and therefore, whether it is really time to make the plunge or it can simply be repaired. On the one hand, you might be hoping that your roof only needs to be repaired as it tends to be a much cheaper option than completely replacing your roof. However, there are some telltale signs that will hint to you that it makes more sense to replace.

When your roof is already aged (anywhere between 15 and 30 years for asphalt shingles) and you are having leaks or damage that need repairing, it is probably time to replace the entire roof anyway. In the long run, this will pay off as there will not be a need for any repairs until further down the road. Leaks on relatively young roofs are cause for concern but can generally be repaired quickly when isolated. Although if the roof is leaking in multiple areas, that could be a signal that it is time to replace. Damaged shingles tend to be inexpensive, easy fixes, unless many shingles are damaged or unsealed – in which case, replacement might be the way to go.

Maintaining Your Roof

As a responsible homeowner, it is important to maintain your roof properly in order to encourage a long lifespan. Most maintenance can be done quickly and easily, although for anyone not healthy enough to climb a ladder we recommend hiring a professional to routinely inspect your roof for you. For those that can, checking up on your shingles frequently will cause you to notice when any have been damaged or go missing sooner. Taking the time to clean the debris off your roof is another way to maintain its structural soundness, as well as preventatively trimming overhanging trees that a storm might knock branches off of.

Keeping the gutters free of leaves and objects allows rain to properly flow off the roof and away from your home, preventing moisture accumulation and eventually water damage on the interior. Likewise, by inspecting and (when needed) replacing the sealant around your roof you can protect from future expensive leaks. Getting your roof professionally cleaned every year or so is a great option for roofs that collect smaller debris and algae – this relatively inexpensive maintenance option can greatly extend the life of your roof, and the professionals will be able to tell you themselves the state your roof is in. All in all, keeping your roof maintained throughout its life is the best way to maximize your initial investment into the roof.
