At Legacy Exteriors and Roofing, we understand that your roof is a big investment. A roof is so much more than just shingles - as part of a larger system, it protects you, your family and your belongings from the elements. Legacy installs replacement roofs using high-quality roofing brands to ensure that your roof lasts as long as possible.
When is it time to replace my roof?
There are many signs that your roof needs to be replaced. Some of the most common things we see include:
- Shingle Damage:
Shingles are an essential part of your roofing system. When shingles become curled at the edges, cracked or begin to buckle, it may be time to have your roof replaced. Missing shingles are also a good sign that replacement is necessary.
- Shingle Staining:
Dark stains on your roof can be an indication of algae growing on your roof. Moss growth, mildew and mold on your shingles may also indicate damage.
- Age:
Most roofs are designed to last 20-25 years. If your roof is two decades old, we recommend that you consider replacement.
- Granules:
The granules on your shingles are designed to protect your roof. When you start see granules falling off into your gutter, it may be time to replace.
- Interior Damage:
If your roof is already leaking, you may see damage to your attic, ceiling or walls. Sometimes we also see blistering or peeling paint on the exterior of your house, also caused by leaking.
- Energy Costs:
If you notice that your energy bills are going up, your roof may not be well-insulated. Legacy can install an energy-efficient roof to reduce these costs.
- Roof valleys:
If unrepaired, rain, hail and other precipitation can flow through the valleys of your roof. If you notice damage in this area, we recommend a replacement roof.
- Chimney flashing:
It is best for chimney flashing to be made of metal flashing rather than tar or cement. If you have cement or tar, we recommend that you replace your roof.
Insurance Compensation:
When your roof is damaged by a storm, you are entitled to insurance compensation. Working with your insurance company can be stressful, involving paperwork and meeting with an adjuster. Legacy Exteriors and Roofing has many years of experience working with insurance companies. We will inspect your roof, providing a free estimate of all damages, which we share with your adjuster. We help expedite your claim by following all insurance guidelines and meeting with your adjuster on-site. We are happy to handle this so that you can focus on repairing all damage to your home.
As a reputable Edmonton-area contractor, we make sure that this is done properly. Watch out for “storm chasers” – these people call themselves “roofing experts” and come to your town following a big storm.
