SIGNS THAT YOUR ROOF NEEDS REPLACING
Your roof is a crucial part of your home’s structure, protecting you and your loved ones from the elements. However, over time, even the most well-maintained roof will begin to show signs of wear and tear.
At Rush Roofing & Exteriors, we understand the importance of a sturdy, reliable roof. If you’re experiencing any of the following signs, it’s time to book a no-obligation roofing consultation.
If you’re wondering whether it’s time to replace your roof, here are some signs to look out for:
Age
The age of your roof is one of the most significant factors in determining whether it’s time for a replacement. Most roofs last between 20-25 years, so if your roof is approaching or exceeding that age, it may be time to consider a replacement.
Shingle Condition
Take a close look at the shingles on your roof. If you notice that they are curling, cracking, or missing altogether, it’s a sign that your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan. In some cases, you may be able to replace only the damaged shingles, but if there are multiple areas of damage, a full replacement may be necessary.
Water Damage
If you notice water stains on your ceiling or walls, it could be a sign that your roof is leaking. Water damage can cause serious structural issues in your home and pose a risk to your family’s health, so it’s important to address the problem as soon as possible.
Energy Efficiency
If you’re noticing that your energy bills are increasing, it could be a sign that your roof is no longer functioning efficiently. A roof that is in good condition helps to regulate the temperature inside your home, but an aging or damaged roof can allow heat to escape during the winter and cool air to seep out during the summer.
Sagging
If you notice that your roof is sagging, it’s a clear sign that it’s time for a replacement.
WHAT ARE THE DANGERS OF NOT REPLACING AN OLD ROOF?
Here are just a few of the dangers of not replacing an old or damaged roof:
Leaks
An ageing or damaged roof is more likely to develop leaks, especially during heavy rain or snowfall. Left unaddressed, these leaks can lead to water damage, mold growth, and structural issues in your home.
Energy Inefficiency
As mentioned above, a roof that is no longer functioning properly can allow heat to escape during the winter and cool air to seep out during the summer. This can lead to higher energy bills and an uncomfortable living environment.
Pest Infestations
Holes or gaps in your roof can provide an entry point for pests like rodents, birds, and insects. These critters can cause damage to your home and pose health risks to your family.
Safety Hazards
A roof that is in poor condition can pose a safety risk to you and your loved ones. Loose shingles or tiles can fall off and injure someone, while a sagging roof can collapse if left unaddressed.
Is your roof past its prime? Are you putting off replacing it due to concerns about the cost or inconvenience? While it may be tempting to put off this home improvement project for as long as possible, doing so could put you and your family at risk.
At Rush Roofing & Exteriors, we understand the importance of keeping your roof in top condition. Our experienced team of professionals can assess your roof’s condition and provide recommendations for repairs or replacement.
WHAT DOES IT COST TO REPLACE A ROOF?
If you’re in the market for a new roof, one of the most pressing questions you’re likely to have is: What does it cost to replace a roof? The answer, of course, depends on a number of factors, including the size of your roof, the type of materials used, and the complexity of the installation.
Here’s a breakdown of some of the key factors that can affect the cost of a new roof:
Size of Your
Home
One of the biggest factors that determines the cost of a new roof is the size of your home. Obviously, a larger home with a bigger roof will require more materials and labour, and will therefore cost more to replace.
Type of Roofing Material
Another major factor that affects the cost of a new roof is the type of materials used. Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material in Calgary, and they are generally the most affordable option. However, other materials like metal, tile, or rubber can be more expensive, and may require specialized installation techniques.
Complexity of Installation
The complexity of the installation can also affect the cost of a new roof. For example, a roof with many different angles and slopes will require more time and labour to install, which can drive up the overall cost of the project.
So, what does it cost to replace a roof? On average, homeowners can expect to pay anywhere from $4.50 per Sq ft to $7.50 per Sq ft on average for a new roof. However, it’s important to note that the cost can vary widely depending on your specific roof design and property layout. For example, a small house with a simple roof line and lots of property access (for disposal trailers and loading vehicles) may cost as little as $5,000 to replace, while a large complex roof with very little access may cost upwards of $20,000 or more. Here are some important considerations:
- The size of the roof. The larger the roof, the higher the cost.
- The pitch (slope) of the roof. The steeper the roof, the higher the cost.
- Complexity. The more complicated, the higher the cost.
- Access for crane trucks and disposal trailers. Buildings without access will typically come with a higher cost for additional labour.
- Removal and disposal of your existing roof. If you currently have an especially heavy roofing material such as concrete, wood shakes, or more than one layer of shingles, the labour and disposal costs will increase and bring the cost of your roof replacement higher.
At Rush Roofing & Exteriors, we understand that the cost of a new roof can be a significant investment. That’s why we offer competitive pricing and financing options to help make the process more affordable. Our team of experienced professionals can provide you with a detailed quote that takes into account your specific needs and circumstances, so you can make an informed decision about your roofing project.
WE INSTALL ALL TYPES OF ROOFS
At Rush Roofing & Exteriors, we offer a wide range of roofing options to fit your needs and budget. Here are some of the types of roofs we install:
Laminated Asphalt Shingle
Laminated asphalt shingles are one of the most popular roofing options in North America. These shingles are made from multiple layers of asphalt and fiberglass, which makes them durable and long-lasting. Laminated shingles also come in a variety of colors and styles, so you can choose a look that matches your home’s aesthetic.
Cedar Shakes
If you’re looking for a natural, rustic look for your roof, cedar shakes are a great option. Cedar shakes are made from split logs and offer a unique texture and appearance. They also provide excellent insulation, which can help reduce your energy bills and keep your home comfortable year-round.
Rubber Tiles
Rubber tiles are a newer roofing option that offer a number of benefits. Made from recycled rubber, these tiles are durable, eco-friendly, and easy to install. They also offer excellent protection against the elements and can help reduce noise pollution from rain and hail.
Standing-Seam Steel
Standing-seam steel roofs are becoming increasingly popular due to their durability and low maintenance requirements. These roofs are made from interlocking metal panels that run vertically along the roof’s surface. They offer excellent protection against wind, rain, and snow, and are available in a range of colours and finishes to match your home’s style.
