There are several factors we consider when assessing your home for a roof replacement. First, we look at the age. If your roof is more than 20 years old, then it’s probably nearing the end of its lifespan. For roofs that are this old, the cost of repairs may simply not be worthwhile.

Next, we consider the roof’s condition. At Triple S Remodeling, we’ll start by inspecting your shingles for signs of curling, cracking, or missing pieces. Other things we’ll look for include excessive granule loss in the gutters, sagging, and drooping. There may also be signs of a problem inside your home. If you have water stains or moisture on your ceiling or walls, that could indicate a leak. 

When these issues are present, we’ll consider the extent and the cost of repairs. We’ll talk with you about the relative cost compared to a new roof. Picking the right moment to replace your roof is entirely up to you, but we’ll be here to explain the options and help you decide.

At Triple S Remodeling, we know that replacing your windows is a big step. How do you know when it’s time? Let our experienced experts assess your windows. We’ll go over the options with you.

First, we’ll start by considering how air-tight your windows are. Do you feel drafts? Does air leak around them? If so, then your windows are not very well sealed anymore. High energy bills can also be a sign that your windows are not sealing as well as they should. You may also hear more sounds than normal from outside.

After considering the seal, we’ll look at the parts themselves. If your windowpanes have condensation between the glass or have signs of visible damage, that’s a definite red flag. We’ll also consider how well the windows open and close in our assessment.

With these factors, we can talk about the costs of repairs and compare that cost to a replacement. Because most people like their windows to match, we can also consider the number of windows as we discuss the possibility of replacement.

Metal roofs can be an excellent choice for your roof. In fact, they may be a better option than traditional shingles. To start with, metal roofs are more durable. Your metal roof will endure harsh weather conditions better than other roofing materials. This includes rain, wind, and hail. Because of this, metal roofs have a very long lifespan. Some last up to 50 years or more with proper installation and maintenance.

Metal roofs are also surprisingly energy efficient. These roofs reflect the sunlight to reduce heat buildup. This can lower your cooling costs. This is paired with the fact that metal roofs don’t require much maintenance, and they’re not prone to problems.

Finally, metal roofs can be attractive. Modern metal roofs come in more colors and styles than ever. You can get a sleek, modern look for your home to boost its curb appeal and raise your resale value. Is a metal roof right for your home? Triple S Remodeling can help you find out.

Asphalt shingles are still the cheapest option to install on your home. However, the initial cost is not the only consideration. There are long-term costs that may make you reconsider the overall value of your metal roof.

After all, metal roofs last longer, which means you get more out of your initial investment. Plus, the maintenance costs are generally reduced. This means your metal roof will probably be more cost-efficient over time. In other words, a metal roof may offer you more bang for your buck. Metal roofs may cost more, but they offer more value.

Therefore, there are advantages to both metal and asphalt roofs. To make the right choice for your home, you’ll need to consider your preferences and budget. You can trust Triple S Remodeling to explain the options and help you make the best choice.
