What Services Are Offered by Santa Fe Roofers?
Roofers in Santa Fe offer a variety of services, from roof repair and replacement to roof cleaning. Some even provide other services like solar panel installation. Here's a breakdown of some common services offered:
-
Roof Repair
It is essential to have a professional roofer who can provide quality services for roof repair and replacement for your home. The severe storms in Santa Fe can cause damage to roofs, and timely repairs are necessary to avoid worse damage.
-
Roof Cleaning
Roof-cleaning services are also used by Santa Fe homeowners, as debris and dirt can accumulate over time and damage your roof. Moss and algae can also cause damage and weaken shingles and underlayment, which can lead to costly repairs. Cleaning your roof can improve your home's curb appeal and save you in the long run on repairs.
When Should I Replace My Roof in Santa Fe?
Knowing when you might want to replace the roof on your Santa Fe home can prevent spending more money in the long run by avoiding any potential roof problems. There are a few factors that can point to when your roof might need a replacement. For instance, recurring leaks and other kinds of damage can signal that it's time for a replacement, which is particularly the case when the damage is too serious to be repaired.
Another sign that you may need to have your roof replaced is prior to installing solar panels, especially if your roof is on the older end. Replacing your roof first means you can avoid removing the panels later to replace your roof, which will add additional costs to your project.
The final sign to consider is if your roof has reached the end of its life expectancy. Each kind of roofing material lasts for a certain amount of time, generally between 20 and 30 years. The table below can give you an idea of what life expectancy to expect based on the type of roof.
