Asphalt shingles are going to be the most budget friendly solution for your new roof, and just because they are the cheaper option, it doesn’t mean they should be disregarded. In fact, you’ll see most residential properties in your area with asphalt shingling on the roof because they are durable and do a great job of creating that defensive barrier your home needs in addition to being the affordable option. Plus, they’re versatile and they’ll look good on any home.

Asphalt shingles have the tendency to be replaced more often than the more expensive options. They usually have a 15-20 year lifespan. But you can always buy higher-end asphalt shingles that do perform even better.

Replacing your roof should be an option when repairs won't hold up. A roof replacement is required if you’re dealing with these types of problems:

• AGE: When your roof has aged, the probability of having it be replaced becomes greater. Asphalt shingles are very common amongst residential houses and these typically have a 15-20 year warranty. When your roof has aged this much, it’s a good idea to get regular inspections in order to figure out when a roof replacement is needed.
• SAGGING: When your roof is drooping, it's a sign that the deck plywood is rotted. This isn't a good sign, and this does mean you need a roof replacement.
• WORN OUT MATERIALS: Your roof is a defensive barrier for your entire home, so it should come as no surprise that the materials used for your roof will get worn out over time.

Even though you can get your roof replaced during any season, fall is the most common time of year for a roof replacement. But because it is a common time for these services, it can be difficult to book time with a professional. This means that waiting later in the year could be a better time to book.

A lot of roofing contractors are slow during the colder months, but you could have more delays because of erratic weather conditions. And summer is similar to winter, but instead of being cold, you’d be dealing with high heat.

Spring is also not a bad time for roof replacements. Even though the weather can still be wet and rather uncertain, it’s getting warmer, and any roofing damage you’ve sustained during the winter will be repaired.

The reason why a quality roof is so fundamental for you is because it provides security for your home, enhances your home’s curb appeal, and makes your energy efficiency better.

The roof is the defensive barrier for the rest of your house. It defends against harsh weather, falling objects, and more. This means if your roof is in poor condition, you could get leaks in your home, which can lead to other problems.

Your roof also does so much for your property value. Since it’s such an important part of your home, a well-maintained roof demonstrates a great deal of stability. If you were looking to sell, a home buyer would be much more excited about your home if it has a strong, steady roof protecting it.

Lastly, having an energy efficient home delights anyone. It means your utility bills are lower and that your home maintains a consistent temperature.
