As a homeowner, it is your job to make sure that your home looks great and is protected from top to bottom, inside and out. This means that when it is time to get a complete residential roof replacement, it really isn’t a project that you can delay for very long. After all, your roof’s main responsibility is to keep external elements out, including rain, snow, ice, wind, and cold/hot air.
When you have missing shingles, warped or water-damaged panels, spots of deterioration or wear and tear from the sun, or any other type of damage, it will take away from the strength and durability of the top of your home. The longer you wait, the more likely Mother Nature will make its way inside. Sooner or later, moisture will get in through weakened, rotting wooden panels and areas that are not adequately protected. This can result in leaks in your attic. Then, the moisture can eventually lead to the growth of harmful mold and bacteria, which can take away from your home’s indoor air quality.
