When it comes to deciding on whether or not you should have your residential roof replaced, a lot of details go into making that final decision. First, you have to evaluate the quality and condition of your existing roof, and see if there’s anything you can do to keep it. Then, if your roofer inspects it and also considers that the old roof is not salvageable, you might have to consider having it replaced.

The main thing to consider is how old your roof is. A 70 year-old metal roof that has been repaired again and again on a frequent basis during the past 1-2 years might not be salvageable. It’s already reached the end of its life, and you’ll be wasting less money just buying a new roof. On the other hand, if your roof is in rough shape but it’s just 5-10 years old, then it could still be repaired or partially replaced by a good Centennial roofing professional. A roof that young usually doesn’t have to be replaced unless it has serious structural damage.

Other factors that could determine whether or not you should replace your roof include severe damage, too many missing shingles and poor workmanship on a newer roof. The latter case can happen often if you hire the wrong roofer to take care of your roof replacement job. So make sure you find the most dependable local roofing contractor to do it.
