The benefits of re-roofing

If you know a roof replacement is in your near future, there are a few things to consider first. First, it’s important to know your home’s roofing materials. For example, does your roof have asphalt shingles or wood? Next, determine your budget. Finally, if you have an asphalt roof, you can decide if a roof replacement or re-roofing is the best option.

In this article, Kymand Roofing in Calgary, shares more about the benefits of re-roofing and when this option or a roof replacement may be best.

What is re-roofing?

Re-roofing, or overlay, is a temporary roof-replacement solution for asphalt roofs. With re-roofing, instead of tearing away all your old shingles and replacing them with new ones, you simply install them over top of the existing ones. In other words, you are installing a second layer of shingles over your old roof.

The benefits of re-roofing

Re-roofing is a faster and simpler process. Consequently, this option is more cost-effective. With less labour involved, it cuts down on labour costs. On top of this, re-roofing will help to make your home’s exterior look brand new again. This will enhance curb appeal as well as the value of your home. Re-roofing will also prevent leaks from getting through your old, worn-down shinglers. Then your home will be better protected from the elements. Read more about roof replacement basics.

When a roof replacement is the better option

If budget isn’t your chief concern, choosing a roof replacement brings added advantages. With re-roofing, this second layer of shingles will only last about 10 years. So, re-roofing will buy you more time, but it will not offer the longevity of a roof replacement. Something else to remember is that when old shingles aren’t removed, your contractor won’t know what damage may be at play underneath. For example, rot or leaks may be present. A roof replacement will take care of these issues, while re-roofing may just amount to a fix for the time being.

Yes, the upfront cost of a roof replacement is larger. However, that doesn’t mean it’s out of reach, even with a lower budget. Kymand Roofing offers financing services to its clients so they can make a roofing replacement a reality. The investment in your home will be worth it in the long run, as an asphalt roof replacement can last up to 40 years.
