One of the first benefits considered when looking to replace your roof is increasing your home's value. While the idea of replacing your current roof might seem daunting as you think the expenses involved, it is essential to look at the value gained. Evaluating your existing roof's condition, replacing your roof before the damage worsens will likely save you thousands later in costly home integrity repairs. As roofing systems age, they can even become hazardous, putting those who depend on the protection of a roof over their head at risk. Whether you plan on staying in your current home for decades, or you want to raise the value before you sell, consider getting a free inspection with Friedman.

Our last but most important reason for seeking a roof replacement; safety is our number one concern, and we know it's yours as well. Old or damaged roofing is dangerous in a few different ways depending on the damage's extent. How long does a roof last before it's considered old? That would depend on the material used and the weather it has suffered. While some materials are designed to last longer than others, the weather will take its toll no matter the material, reducing the life of your roof. Another concern for old roofing is the potential for asbestos, as used in older roofing systems. If your roof has sustained damage, we recommend you have it inspected as soon as possible. The potential for additional damage to be done to your house is exceptionally high when your roof has storm damage. A single hole or fracture in your roofing can allow water or animals into your home, creating a whole new set of problems. Water entering the house won't just cause water stains; it presents the opportunity for electrical shortages.

Additionally, even after the water dries, there is a high likelihood of mold and mildew growth. And if animals enter your attic or walls, Friedman won't be exactly equipped to deal with your new guests. We strongly recommend checking your roof visually from the ground after every storm and periodically throughout the year. If you can't physically see parts of your roof, please give us a call; we are happy to inspect your roof for you.
