Roof Replacement
How a Roof Replacement Actually Saves You Money Over Time
Many homeowners worry about the cost of a roof replacement and may even put off having this job done because they assume they can’t afford it. However, this is the type of job that is an investment in your home and which can actually save you money over time. If you’re putting off having a new roof installed on your home because you’re concerned about cost, consider how this work can save you money in the long run.
1. A new roof insulates your home better
The materials used for roofs today are good insulators for your home; they can keep in your heating and air conditioning and keep your rooms more comfortable throughout the most extreme seasons. In turn you spend less on your utilities, saving you money throughout the years.
2. A new roof saves you from repairing the materials underneath the roof
If you put off installing a new roof because you’re afraid of the cost, consider the cost of replacing attic insulation, drywall, building studs, and other materials under your roof. Allowing in water through leaks and holes in your roof will mean that these will eventually rot and they’ll need to be replaced. This can mean extensive repair work. If the water collects in the attic it can also allow for mould growth along the building materials and this too is a very expensive cleanup job. The cost of a new roof is typically much less expensive than either of these jobs.
3. Leaks and holes in the roof typically get worse over time, and cause more damage
When you need a new roof, this is not work that is going to simply fix itself or go away over time. Instead, the damage will get worse and you’ll need more extensive repairs. For example, water may begin to collect around your chimney and soften the brick and mortar so that it needs to be braced up or replaced altogether. An older roof that allows water to collect may also overwhelm your gutters so that they start to pull away from your home and need replacing.
Rather than facing more extensive repairs over time, it’s better to simply invest in the cost of a roof replacement. This will save you the money of those repairs and as well, save you money on utilities and protect your home overall.
