We understand that purchasing a new roof is a big investment into your home, but it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.  Our financial partners provide you with the tools you need to make a new roof a reality.

The roofing option that is right for you will depend on your budget, roof style, homeowner’s association requirements, desired longevity, and the amount of maintenance you are willing to perform on your roof. The best way to determine what is the best option for you is to speak with one of our residential sales advisors about your specific situation. They can present you with the options that best meet your needs, so you can make an informed decision on the roof system that you purchase.

It depends on how/if your solar panels are attached to the roof deck. Solar panels are a significant investment that you don’t want to have damaged during a re-roof, so it is best to have them removed from the roof by a solar contractor during the re-roofing process. With that in mind, it is a good idea to invest in a long-lasting roof system prior to installing solar panels to reduce the extra costs that are associated with solar panels during re-roofs.

There are a number of factors that determine whether you should replace your roof. If your roof is leaking, sometimes, a prompt repair can prolong the life of your roof substantially without a full replacement, but if your roof has multiple leaks or is starting to show signs of wear such as cracking and granule loss, your money will be better spent investing in a new roof system.

Most manufactures and roofing contractors recommend maintenance on your roof twice a year.  Often, maintenance can be as simple as removing debris from the roof and drainage system, checking for loosening fasteners, and replacing any cracking sealants.  An experienced roof service technician will also be able to spot any issues that may cause future leaks or premature wear to your roof system and address them proactively.

Using a leaf blower to remove debris from your roof system is the first and easiest way to clean your roof system. If your roof is discoloring due to mold or algae growth, there are cleaning agents specifically designed for roofs that can re-vitalize the cosmetic appeal of your roof system. Diluted bleach can also be used for this. You should avoid using stiff brooms or pressure washers on your roof system, as these can remove the granules from your shingles and cause your roof to age prematurely.

This depends largely on the amount of tree-cover and leaves that fall on your home, but the short answer is whenever they become clogged with debris. A general rule of thumb is to check your gutters every 3 months and remove leaves and debris, but for some homes with lots of tree-cover overhead, gutters can become clogged more frequently. An easy way to see if your gutters are clogged is to make sure your downspouts are flowing freely and no water is spilling over the front of the gutters during rain storms.
