Q:
Depending on the type of roofing material you have, it could be 20 years, 30 years, 50 years, or even longer. If you don’t work in the roofing industry, it can be hard to spot an older roof, but there are signs that it’s time for a replacement.
Q:
There are a handful of potential issues—old or torn shingles, worn-out flashing, clogged gutters, and more—that will degrade the roof. It's a gradual process—first a loose shingle or worn piece of flashing lets in a little water, then decay develops, and soon you have water ruining your house.
Q:
After a roof replacement is scheduled, it’s guaranteed that most homeowners will ask how long it’ll take to complete. Unfortunately, I can’t be exact on the timeline because every roof is different. With that in mind, most roofs can be replaced in a day.
But the actual timeline depends on factors like the size of the roof, how complex it is, how easy it is to access, and the weather.
It also depends on the type of roofing material you choose. For example, slate tiles have to be installed one at a time.
