Replacing a roof is not something that people have to go through often; most roofs last more than 20 years, but when it does happen, it can be a large project. The tear-off process involves removing all the parts of the roof which need to be replaced. A tear-off normally takes around a day to perform, but the timescale varies depending on the type and size of the roof.
As roofing specialists, Earl W. Johnston Roofing, LLC explains the benefits of having a complete roof tear-off. But first, let’s understand how a roof tear-off can affect your home.
A roofing tear-off is a fresh start. Structural issues will be addressed, resulting in a sound roofing structure, with less likelihood of roofing failure. It also often results in a stronger, more durable roofing system. Technically, you are getting a brand new roof, which can benefit you a lot.
Since the entire roof is being replaced, even the high-risk areas will be repaired and new flashings can be installed, which ensures the water-tightness of your home for years to come. A brand new tear-off roof can add to your home’s resale value, which makes it a major selling point.
A full residential roofing tear-off job will last you much longer than an overlay will, and this is mostly because a brand-new roof traps much less heat than a roof with multiple layers. Extra heat causes shingles to curl and break down faster.
A tear-off allows roofing companies to have a look at the roof decking and check it for mold, rot, or damage. The condition of the roof deck can affect the quality, performance, and longevity of the new roofing. So if you want to maximize the benefits of a new roof, you should also ensure that the other roofing components are in good shape.
