When Should I Replace My Roof in Buffalo?
The lifespan of a roof depends on the type of roofing material and which area your Buffalo home is in, but there are some indicators you should pay attention to in order to help you figure out when it's time to replace your roof. Several leaks coming through the roof or other serious damage that can't be repaired is a sign that your roof should be replaced.
Solar panels are a great choice for homeowners in Buffalo, but before you do go solar, it's a good idea to think about the age of your roof. Roofs that are nearing the end of their lifespan should be replaced to avoid extra costs to your roofing project because of uninstalling the solar panels.
