  • Signs Your Roof Needs Replacing

    Sometimes, problems with your residential roof can be remedied with a simple repair. Other times, when the issues are more severe and a repair isn’t enough to fix them, your roof may need to be replaced entirely. Here are some signs that indicate your roof is in need of a replacement:

    • Excessive water leaks
    • The roof is aging or poorly maintained
    • Dramatic increase in energy bills
    • Pronounced roof sagging
    • Large interior water spots
    • Excessive shingle granule loss

Roof Replacement vs. Roof Repair

It can be difficult to determine when to get a roof replacement as opposed to a repair. Although a trusted roofing contractor, like Standard Roofing & Restoration, will always give honest recommendations, it’s still important to weigh your options.

Consider a roof repair if:

Consider a roof repair if:

  • The problems are isolated, like a single leak after a storm
  • Your roof is newer (typically less than 15 years old)
  • The damage is cosmetic, not structural
  • Spot repairs will effectively extend the lifespan

Consider a roof replacement if:

Consider a roof replacement if:

  • The cost of repairs is greater than 50% of a new roof installation
  • Your roof is nearing the end of its expected lifespan
  • There are extensive issues, such as widespread leaks
  • You want a more modern, energy-efficient roof

Frequently Asked Roof Replacement Questions

  • Although the length of time needed for a roof replacement can vary depending on factors such as the size and complexity of the roof, the material being used, the type of decking your current roof has, and even the weather conditions, you can expect an average-sized residential roof installation to take anywhere from 1 to 3 days, while a large multi-story installation takes 3 to 5 days.

    At Standard Roofing & Restoration, we always aim for our installations to be quick without ever sacrificing quality, so you can get back to your normal routine as soon as possible.

  • Yes, we offer a lifetime workmanship warranty on all our roof replacements. Check out our warranty details or contact us today with any questions.

  • Yes, roofing vents will be installed during a roof replacement. Roof ventilation is important for preventing sudden temperature changes and water damage within your home. We offer three different types of ventilation options: ridge vents, soffit vents, and gable vents. However, you don’t have to worry too much if you aren’t exactly sure which system you have or should have. We’ll help you pick the best ventilation system for your roof.

  • Yes, we do install skylights! If you’re looking for more natural light, we can install a skylight during your roof replacement. We offer three different skylight options: fixed skylights (which are non-opening and permanently sealed), vented skylights (which are operable), and tubular skylights (which are small domes that are commonly used in small spaces). 

  • Yes, we do install insulation during roof replacements. We offer four different types of insulation options: fiberglass insulation, mineral wool insulation, spray foam insulation, and rigid foam board insulation.

  • Yes, we do offer energy-efficiency roofing options that can help you save on energy costs. They come in a variety of roof coatings, including acrylic, silicone, and polyurethane, which are applied as a fluid that fully adheres to your roof. 

  • At Standard Roofing & Restoration, we understand that roofing projects can be an unexpected financial burden. That’s why we are proud to offer financing options to help make them more affordable. Explore our financing plans to learn more.

  • One of the biggest surprises that can come up during a roof replacement job is the discovery that your roof deck—the solid layer of material underneath the shingles—does not have OSB (Oriented Strand Board). 

    Nowadays, it’s the industry standard for homes to be built with OSB as the roof deck in order for the roof’s structure to be more secure. However, the roof deck on older homes may be comprised of 1x boards that were original to the house framing. Trying to replace a roof on top of 1x decking is challenging, and there’s a high chance you’ll experience problems (such as leaks or shingle loss) with your roof down the road. 

    If this is the case, we strongly recommend that your roof be re-sheeted during the replacement process. However, it is not required.
