All good things come to an end, and this includes the life of any roof. While new asphalt shingle products are extending life expectancies out for 25 years or more, older Sarasota and Venice homes may need a new roof imminently. Our climate is especially tough on roofing materials – whether punishing heat, driving rain, or year-round critters, our roofs take abuse while keeping us safe and protected.
Asphalt shingle roof systems are among the most popular in our area. Once chosen primarily for their affordability, asphalt shingles are now more durable, UV protected and even come in many colors and styles.
How do you know if your asphalt shingle roof needs replacing?
First and foremost, if your shingle roof is over 20 years old, it likely needs to be replaced. The life span on these types of materials was generally between 15 and 20 years until recently, so even if your roof is not actively leaking right now, it probably needs attention. This time of year is actually perfect for performing for a roof inspection, so that is a great first step.
Remember, there is no getting around the need to replace an old roof. If you put it off for too long, you may not only be looking at the cost of a new roof, but also repair to water damage on the roof deck, in the attic, and even the interior of your home.
If you are not comfortable climbing up onto your roof to assess its current condition, it is recommended that you call a local roofing professional to evaluate the situation. If you see moisture or staining in the interior of your home (walls or ceilings), call Kingdom Roofing immediately. We have been serving the Venice and Sarasota communities for decades, and we are here to make sure you get the strong roof you need.
