Some people think that there is a better or worse time of year for a roof replacement. We can tell you as a Winston-Salem roofing company with nearly 30 years of experience, that there really is no better or worse time to call us. If you think you have a roof leak, you should call a roofer ASAP. If you think it’s time for a roof replacement, call and get an estimate. All too often people wait too long and end up with a roof leak. Here are some of the reasons people have told us they waited.
“I Was Hoping for Storm Damage to Make an Insurance Claim”
We get it, no one wants to pay for a new roof. However, you can’t predict when a storm strong enough to lead to an insurance claim is going to happen. In our area, we only see hail significant enough to roof damage about every three years. Wind claims tend to happen a bit more frequently, but also more often to lead to a roof repair rather than a roof replacement.
“The Shingles Still Look Fine so I Figured My Roof Was Still Ok”
Although there are signs you need a roof replacement, like curling or buckling shingles, excess granules in your gutters and downspouts, and cracked shingles, not all roofs at the end of their life show these signs. Additionally, a shingle that looks fine from the ground 20 feet or more away may not look the same when we inspect your roof from the top down.
“We Had a Roof Repair a Year Ago and the Roofer Didn’t Say We Needed a New Roof”
There are many reasons a Winston-Salem roofing company may not say that you need a new roof when they perform a repair. First, and most common, is because you didn’t at the time. Another common reason is because they made the repair, as you requested. Sometimes they don’t share what you don’t ask. Finally, not all roofers are experienced in identifying when a roof is close to needing replacement so they truly may not have realized you needed a new roof rather than a costly repair.
