How do I know if my roof should be replaced?

Posted in Roofing June 18, 2012. 0 Comments

There are many ways to determine the life cycle of your roof.

The easiest way, is if you know the age of your roof. The average aged roof is going to need replacement between 18-20 years. Anything beyond that and your asking for trouble. (Unless you have a designer or architectural shingle, which can be a little harder to determine by age.)

Are you losing a lot of granules from your shingles? Granules are the sand like components that really are the life of your shingle. If you happen to notice a lot of granules in your gutter or coming out of your downspouts on a mild-hard rain then your shingles are entering their final days.

Are you noticing your shingles are starting to curl? When shingles no longer lay flat on your roof that are susceptible to blow offs even in mild winds, as they become brittle.

My brother recommended Tayman to have my roof replaced. They were not the cheapest but i was impressed with their BBB report and referrals. You get what you pay for.

My wife and I are new to the area and wanted to select a company that had been in the area a long time as well as a clean bbb record, with a little bit of research it's easy to tell who will stand behind their work and who won't. Without a doubt Tayman will. Thanks again, Jeffery L.
