The New Year is a time of fresh starts and planning ahead — but resolutions apply to more than just ourselves. Given Calgary’s harsh weather conditions throughout the year, home maintenance is essential to prevent costly damage to all parts of your home. That’s why now is a great time to start planning your roof replacement. Read on to find out why.
1. Stop Wear-and-Tear Before it Takes Over
Calgary weather takes a toll on our homes, with our winter freeze-thaw cycles accelerating the wear and tear of our roofs. While repairs are an option, installing a new roof can actually prevent costly renovations throughout the year.
Additionally, if your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, or has already sustained damage, a replacement may be the more cost-effective choice.
2. Beat the Spring and Summer Rush
With warmer weather, most Calgarians begin thinking about outdoor maintenance, creating a rush for roofers. Planning ahead and booking now means you’ll get your roof replaced in good time to protect your home from spring damage. This can also allow you to budget for other home repairs and renovations you’ve got on your list.
3. Your Roof May Be Aging Quicker Than You Think
The age of your roof is an important factor to consider when planning whether you will repair it or replace it. While most roofing shingles can last 20 to 30 years, there are several factors to consider:
- Calgary’s weather conditions
- The quality of shingles used
- Surrounding trees and other objects damaging your roof
We understand that a roof replacement can be pricey, but regular repairs over time can add up. Have your roof replaced before it starts showing its age with costly leaks causing damage to your home’s interior.
Plan Ahead For Your Residential Roof Replacement
Planning your roof replacement early in the new year is the best way to prepare for spring weather, and it’ll save you money in the long run. Be sure to beat the rush by booking early.
