When Should I Replace My Roof in Los Angeles?
Many Los Angeles homeowners aren't sure when to replace their roof, which is an important part of ensuring the longevity of your home. There are a few factors that can signal that it's time to get a roof replacement. For example, multiple leaks and other kinds of damage can signal that it's due for a replacement, which is particularly the case when the damage is too serious to be fixed with a repair.
Some homeowners in Los Angeles are thinking about going solar. You may want to replace your roof before installing solar panels, however, because you'll want it to outlast your solar panels.
Finally, it may be necessary to replace your roof once it has come to the end of its life expectancy, which can differ depending on the type of roofing material used. See the table below for some details on when you might want to get a new roof based on the kind of roof material you have.
