The day has come. You’re at the point of your roof’s life where you know it needs some help. But just what needs to be done? There are usually two main options when it comes to helping out an old roof: repair or replace. And it’s usually not too obvious which one you should do.

The roof of any building, especially a home or business, is a critical part of its structural integrity. It is the building's first line of defense against the harshest elements of the outdoor environment, including sun, rain, wind, snow, and other extreme weather.

Well folks, we made it! 2022 is here and with it comes a new roofing checklist. As long as you are staying up to date with all of your roofing needs, you should have a roof that lasts well into its lifetime with minimal issues.

Like many essential parts of a home, roofs are also an integral part of a house. However, they are the most overlooked part of your regular repair and maintenance routine. We only pay attention to the roofs when there is leak, disruption, or any other problem which might hinder our everyday lives.

Every material and structure needs regular maintenance and inspection to remain efficient. The roof is no exception as it is prone to damage from natural causes like rain, wind, animals, typhoons, and hurricanes.

The average lifespan of a residential roof made with traditional materials like asphalt shingles or wood shake is 20 to 30 years. While this does not take extreme weather or other external factors into account, it is still a good estimate for most homeowners.

We completed another beautiful residential metal roof project in the Fort Pierce, Florida area last month.  The homeowner had an asphalt shingle roof that dated back to 2001. The shingles had started curling and there was also some previous patchwork.
