How do I know if I need a roof replacement?
Signs you may need a roof replacement include widespread shingle damage, recurring leaks, curling or missing shingles, storm damage, sagging areas, or a roof that is approaching the end of its lifespan.
How long does a roof replacement last?
The lifespan of a new roof depends on the material installed:
● Asphalt shingles: 20–30 years

Proper installation, ventilation, and maintenance all play a role in longevity.
What is included in a roof replacement?
A roof replacement includes removing the existing roofing material, inspecting the roof decking, installing underlayment and ice & water protection, replacing flashing, and installing new roofing materials. Gutter replacement or upgrades can also be completed during the same project.
