When to Consider Re-Roofing

Leaks
A leak, of course, is the most obvious clue that your roof needs some attention. Leaks can be caused by a variety of reasons, including ice dams, shingle blow-off or improperly installed or deteriorated flashing.

Don't just look for a drip coming from the ceiling, though. Signs of moisture also include discolored spots on the wall, loose wallpaper, peeling paint on the ceiling or a damp smell in a hallway or room. And remember that water traveling into your home may take a circuitous route, running down rafters, top plates, studs and sole plates before reaching your ceiling.

Update your home's appearance
Even if you're not experiencing specific problems, you might decide to reroof your home. Maybe a neighbor's reroofing job has impressed you, or maybe you're simply trying to give your house a face-lift.

Today with the introduction of the laminated shingle, the concept of roofing as a design element plays as much a part as home protection. Add a dimensional look to your roof through the use of layering, shadow lines or intricate blends of colors. Or, achieve the look of natural slate or wood shakes without the added expense.
