In some cases, basic repairs aren’t adequate to address problems with a roof. A full replacement is usually warranted. Replacing a roof can be beneficial by: Increasing property values Reducing utility bills due to previous excessive heating or cooling costs from poor insulation Mitigating the likelihood of weather damage Improving the curb appeal of a property Ignoring a roof that’s in need of replacement can cause major issues and drive up numerous home-related costs, so replacing as soon as necessary is always better than waiting until serious problems come to a head.
