The Expected Lifespan of Different Materials
Let’s talk about your roof and how long it can serve you. Just like we appreciate a good story, every roof has a tale to tell based on its material. Don’t worry, we’ll keep things simple and straight to the point.
- Shingle: A popular choice for many homeowners, you can expect a shingle roof to last between 15-25 years – based on your area’s climate and weather conditions.
- Metal: These roofs can protect your home for 40-70 years – that’s a long time without roofing worries!
- Tile and Slate: The marathoners in the roofing world, tile and slate roofs can last 50-200 years. It’s crazy to think that your roof could end up being a family heirloom!
However, just like anything else that ages, roofs show signs of wear over time. This could be anything from loss of granules to curling corners, to a general worn-out look. But don’t get bent out of shape about it.
At TLC Roofing and Restoration, we’ve got your back. Our team can decipher all the signs your roof shows and guide you on what it means for your home’s safety and aesthetic. We’re here to help you understand and navigate roof replacement with ease. Go ahead and ask us anything about your roof – we’re all ears!
The ‘Seasoned’ Advice for Roof Replacement
Typically, spring and summer are the go-to seasons for any renovations, including roof replacements. But each season comes with its pros and cons. Spring gives you a head start before the summer rush, while summer offers longer daylight hours. Autumn is the seasoned favorite (pun intended!) given its mild weather and lower chances of rain. Winter, unless you are in a mild climate, is usually considered the off-season due to all the snow and ice.
Remember, there’s no hard and fast rule. Roofing emergencies can happen anytime! Rest assured, TLC Roofing and Restoration is here for you, come rain or shine, or even a snowstorm!
The Warning Signs For a Roof Replacement
Now to the million-dollar question, “How do you know you need a roof replacement?” Let’s uncover the answer together! Here are some undeniable signs your roof might be inviting us over for a check-up:
- Persistent leaks: If your ceiling’s leaking every time it rains, it signals that your roof might need some TLC.
- Damaged shingles: Have shingles gone MIA? Are they showing some serious wear and tear? This could hint at a need for some roofing repair, or potentially a complete replacement.
- Granules galore in gutters: If it seems your gutters have started a granule collection, it may be your roof telling you, “Hey, I think I’ve lost something!”
- Sagging roof deck: While a clearly sagging roof definitely requires a double take, even a subtle sag can be something to get checked out.
At TLC Roofing our mission is to make our customers feel at home and at ease, with a dependable roof over their heads and a friendly team that has their back. So go ahead and give us a call!
To Repair or Replace: Weighing the Costs
We understand that deciding between repairing and replacing your roof can be a nail-biter. To help you out, here are some points to ponder. Our list below will help you in determining which option might be the best financial choice for you:
- Consistent repairs: Patching up problems again and again can cause a flow of expenses that you don’t want into your budget. Sometimes, going for a full replacement can save you from pouring money into countless repairs.

- Investing in your home’s value: A total roof replacement is an investment in your home’s future, boosting its curb appeal and overall value.
- Energy efficiency: Going for a roof replacement could give you the opportunity to level up your energy efficiency game, leading to long-term savings on those utility bills. Efficient and cost-effective? Yes, please!
