The holidays have passed and 2023 has finally begun. Were there home improvement projects that you wished you had accomplished or completed this last year? If your roof was on that list, you may be feeling the pressure as 2023 approached very quickly. Are you wondering if a new roof is in your home’s near future? As one of the leading roofing companies in Southern Colorado, we have put together some reasons why 2023 may be the year for a new roofing system.
An old roof can be a costly problem. Here are some signs that indicate it is time for a replacement:
- Shingles are curling or cracking
- Shingle granules are building up in gutters
- Roof looks worn or is sagging
- Water is leaking in your attic, and other areas of your home
- Some shingles are missing
- Roof is older than 20 years
If you have any of these issues now, think of how snow, ice and freezing rain will affect your roof now and through the early spring. Melted snow can seep into open cracks and when it refreezes, any crack you have will widen and increase the chances for leaks and even interior mold. If you don't address these roofing issue they will worsen with time, eventually causing a roof failure.
General deterioration and signs of wear and tear on your current roof are often the first indications that you should consider having it replaced. How old is your roof? The average lifespan of most roofing systems is 20 years, but some types of shingles can last longer than others
(up to 30, 40 or even 50 years). If your roof is nearing this point, you should consider having it looked at by a professional roofing company like Colorado Front Range Roofing.
If you are thinking of selling your home in 2023, consider whether a roof replacement might be an appropriate investment to ensure the property is sale-ready. On the other hand, if you have recently bought a home and find that its roof needs replacement, it may be time to think about investing in a new roof. Check out our
