No necessarily. If there is some leaking, depending on the source and the extent of damage sometimes this will only warrant a repair rather than a full replacement. We will complete a full inspection and evaluation of your roof and provide you with the best, most cost effective and quality recommendation.

The average lifespan of your roof depends on a few importance factors. The first factor to consider is the type of materials used on your roof and their durability. However, no matter what type of roof materials you decide to use on your residence, there are low and high quality versions of each material. Low quality roofing materials typically lead to more repairs and lower roof life expectancy, so it’s best to choose a superior product. Hiring a reputable contractor that uses high quality materials will help you make a decision to get the most out of your roof. Another   crucial component of roof replacements is roofing underlayment. Underlayment is a layer of waterproofing protection in the event that the exterior roof gets damaged. This additional layer of defense prevents moisture buildup and mold issues and is essential so your materials don’t start to rot away.  Lastly, the climate (wind, hail, storms, tornadoes, etc)  and sun exposure to your roof are large factors that impact a roof’s lifespan. 

Your home insurance often pays for roof-related damages, but typically only for covered perils such as damages from severe weather, falling objects or fire. Your homeowners insurance does not typically cover damages or leaks caused because an older or poorly maintained roof is failing. 

However, homeowners insurance will cover roof leaks if they're caused by a sudden, accidental event such as a storm or fallen tree. We will work with your insurance company in order to assist you in receiving the highest reimbursment possible. 

The most common time to get your roof serviced is late Spring, Sumer and Fall. However, it's completely possible for a successful roof replacement to take place during the winter months. In fact, when a significant leak or roof damage is discovered during the winter, we recommend replacing your roof as soon as possible in order to minimize the risk of further damage.
