Helping your home get warmer in the wintertime can be done in a variety of ways. You can consider adding some more insulation to your walls and attic, replacing old doors and windows or giving your HVAC system a much needed upgrade. However, replacing your roof can also go a long way towards achieving your goal, if the old roof you have is not really up to par with the latest standards.
Generally speaking, if your roof is more than 1-2 decades old, it will need at least an upgrade. If you own a slate or metal roof, it can last longer, but in most cases even those types of roofing systems will have to be replaced at most 5-7 decades after they were installed.
The idea is that a new roof can be designed to fit the climate you live in and to prevent the issues that your old roof had. Also, stripping away the old roof will give your Shelby roofer a chance to work on repairing and replacing any areas of your decking that were damaged over the years, so the new roof will have a good foundation as well.
Getting a new roof can really help improve your home’s energy efficiency and ability to retain heat in the winter. As a result, your HVAC will perform better and you won’t need to worry about having to dial up the heat just to keep a decent temperature while most of that heat keeps leaking through the holes in your old roofing system.
