Your guide to reroofing your homeMay 6, 2014
Whether you are a home owner, looking to see or you are considering purchasing a home that needs repairs you can find yourself overwhelmed with a lot of decisions that must be made. On common repair that homeowners whether current or prospective will have to face is roof repair.
Making the call to reroof can be more cost effective than you think. It not only improves the value and the look f the home, but it helps with many other areas as well from water damage prevention, mold and structural damage prevention to more efficient heating and cooling. Cosmetically you can replace your tiles without the worry of finding matches for the old ones. It is a win-win, and when you think of the money it saves you on home maintenance costs that can be linked to poor roof quality, reroofing just makes sense!
Before you make the decision to reroof you will want to consider your budget versus materials and labor. In most cases all will go as planned, but make provisions for emergencies in your budget as well. You will also want to think about things like climate, ventilation and location just to name some. Finally, consider whether or not you will stay with the original style and materials or if you are going to use a new material.
Terracotta tiles are exceptional options for anyone considering reroofing their home. The material is very durable, and the color will not fade. It is one of the most flexible options when it comes to customization and style. The colors of the tiles are actually baked in. These are absolutely beautiful roofing options that require no color maintenance at all.
Concrete is another option that is both durable and offers a flawless looking finish. This is another material that has a long life and offers superior protection for you home. There are new color pallets so concrete roofing can be pretty fashionable too.
Naturally, the roof will need to be checked for damages and cracked tiles. Cement and mortar bedding will need to be partially or completely replaced as needed. Another thing that will need to be examined is the gutters. Inspection of the flashings and downpipes are important as well.
Reroofing in most cases will take anywhere from 2 to 4 days, however this can vary with the size of the home in question. An inspection will need to be done before the work begins. It is a process that will include hauling the tiles up, installing battens and laying the tiles before finishing with riding tiles applying the pointing. The finishing touches will be done, and you will have a beautiful new roof.
This new roof will protect your home while also offering a modern look. The value of the home will go up considerably, and you save a ton in maintenance should you have decided not to reroof. It is a no brainer, reroofing just makes good sense.
