Is Your Roof Due for a Replacement?

 Do you know the age of your home’s roof?

Can you remember the last time it was inspected by a professional? 

Regular inspections and proper maintenance can extend the lifespan of your roof and prevent costly repairs or replacements down the line. 

Here are a few signs your roof needs to be replaced: 

Widespread Leaks:  Multiple leaks or leaks occurring throughout the roof point to a larger problem, often caused by deterioration of the underlayment beneath the shingles. A full replacement is likely the 
best action to prevent further water infiltration and potential structural damage.

Sagging Roof Deck:  A sagging roof deck is a serious issue that signifies structural problems within the roof itself. This requires immediate attention, likely involving a full replacement of the roof deck and shingles. Don't delay addressing this – a sagging roof can compromise the entire integrity of your home.

Age of Your Roof:  Different roofing materials have varying lifespans. Asphalt shingle roofs typically last 15-20 years, while metal roofs can last 40-70 years.  Knowing the age of your roof and the typical lifespan of your roofing material is a good starting point for gauging when a replacement might be needed.

Add "Roof Inspection" to Your Spring Cleaning To-Do List

Spring is a great time to inspect your roof for damage. If your roof is newer it might not need any repairs, but the one thing all Michigan roofs do need is a spring inspection. Winter storms and the freeze/thaw cycle can damage your roof and leave behind debris that can clog gutters. Finding and repairing roof damage early, before it can damage the structure underneath, can save you money later. 

A thorough roof inspection includes the inside of your house as well as the outside. Roof damage can ultimately worsen to the point that it also damages the structure it’s meant to protect. Regular inspections can catch many problems early before the damage gets into the house.

Surprising Reasons to get a Roof Replacement This Winter

Most people don't think winter is a good time to do big, exterior home improvement projects. It makes sense — winter weather generally doesn’t make construction projects easier. However, there are some home improvement projects that can still be done in winter and might even be preferable to do in colder months. One of these projects is a roof replacement.

Replacing a roof is always a somewhat dangerous job. Working at heights requires an extreme amount of caution. A good crew can adjust their precautions to fit winter climates. Yes, they may have to rake or shovel snow off a roof, but this tacks on a negligible amount of time. Also, many experienced roofers actually prefer to work in cold temperatures! Working on a roof in summer temps is exhausting, and for many, cold temperatures make the work more manageable. 

If you live in the Ann Arbor area and are thinking about having a roof replacement this winter, contact the experts at Roofman USA. Our crew can still do your job this winter, and we’re happy to talk to you about our proprietary roofing system whenever you’re ready!

Why you need high-quality seamless gutters

Gutters do more than carry away the rain and melting snow - they protect your home's foundation. 

That's why you need the best gutters on the market.

Gutters are often neglected by even the most diligent homeowners. There’s always one peak that’s a little too high to reach or one sagging piece that gets ignored. One bad ice storm can turn a neglected gutter into a completely destroyed one. If you’ve got a gutter problem, you’re not alone.

Good quality gutters can save your home from water damage and cracking foundations. Missing, leaky or damaged gutters can leak, causing water to pool at the base of your home. The best quality gutters on the market are seamless. Choosing professionally installed, quality seamless gutters not only prevents your home from water damage, it improves the aesthetics. Seamless gutters give a refined look to your home, increasing the curb appeal.

Roofman USA specializes in high-quality, aluminum seamless gutters. We install gutters the same way we install new roofs – with strict attention to detail and the utmost care. We never use secondary contractors – one of our gutter experts is guaranteed to be at your home to do the installation.
