When Should I Replace My Roof in Smithtown?
Many Smithtown homeowners aren't sure when to replace their roof, which is an important part of long-term home maintenance. There are a few triggers that can indicate that it's time to consider a roof replacement. A sign that you may need to replace your roof is several leaks or extensive damage that can't be repaired.
In addition, because of the benefits of going solar in Smithtown, many homeowners choose to install solar panels every year. If you're planning on going solar, it's often a wise idea to replace your roof before doing so, to make sure your roof lasts longer than your panels. This helps you prevent having to remove the panels later for roofing work.
Lastly, it might be time to consider your options for a replacement when your roof is starting to show its age – typically about 20 to 30 years depending on the type of roof and the materials used. See the table below for some details on when you might want to replace your roof depending on the kind of roof material you have.
