Have a Question?
How do I know if my roof needs a Replacement?
Age of the Roof:
Roofs have a typical lifespan. If your roof is approaching or has exceeded its expected lifespan, it may be time for a replacement.
Check the installation date or inquire about the age of the existing roof if you're unsure.
Visible Signs of Wear:
Look for visible signs of wear, such as curling or missing shingles, cracked tiles, or extensive granule loss on asphalt shingles.
If a significant portion of your roof displays visible wear, it might be more cost-effective to opt for a replacement rather than constant repairs.
Persistent Leaks:
Frequent or persistent leaks, despite multiple repair attempts, could indicate structural issues that may require a comprehensive solution like a replacement.
If repairs aren't resolving the leakage issues, it may be time to consider a more extensive solution.
Roof Deck Sagging or Rotting:
If you notice sagging areas in your roof or find signs of rotting on the roof deck during an inspection.
Structural integrity is crucial. If the roof deck is compromised, a replacement may be necessary.
Energy Efficiency Concerns:Increasing energy bills without any apparent explanation might suggest that your roof is no longer providing effective insulation.
An aging or deteriorating roof may contribute to reduced energy efficiency. A replacement with modern materials can improve insulation and reduce energy costs.
Mold or Moss Growth:The presence of mold, mildew, or moss on the roof may indicate persistent moisture issues.
Mold and moss can deteriorate roofing materials. If left unaddressed, it may lead to the need for a replacement.
Multiple Repairs Over Time:
If you've undergone frequent repairs over the years, especially for diverse issues, it might be more cost-effective to invest in a new roof.
Continuous repairs can add up, and a replacement may offer a more durable, long-term solution.
If you observe one or more of these signs, it's advisable to consult with professionals like Kodi Contracting & Roofing for a comprehensive assessment. We can provide insights into whether a roof replacement is the most viable and cost-effective solution for your specific situation.

Small to Medium-Sized Homes:
A roof replacement for a small to medium-sized home with a straightforward roof structure can typically be completed in a few days, often ranging from 2 to 5 days.
Larger or Complex Structures:
Larger homes or those with complex roof designs may take longer. The process can extend to a week or more, depending on the specific challenges posed by the structure.
Weather Conditions:
Adverse weather conditions can impact the timeline. If there are frequent rainstorms or other unfavorable weather, the project may experience delays.
Material Availability:
The availability of roofing materials can influence the timeline. If specific materials are in high demand or need to be ordered, it may add to the overall duration.
Preparation and Cleanup:
The time needed for preparation (such as protecting the property before starting) and cleanup after the replacement are essential components of the overall timeline.

Can a roof Replacement improve my insurance rate?
Yes! A roof replacement has the potential to positively impact your insurance rate. Here's how:
Reduced Risk of Claims:
A new roof enhances the overall structural integrity of your home, reducing the risk of damage caused by leaks, storms, or other weather-related issues. This decreased risk can make your property less prone to insurance claims.
Enhanced Safety Standards:
Insurance providers often consider the safety and durability of your home. A well-maintained and structurally sound roof, achieved through replacement, contributes to meeting or exceeding safety standards, potentially resulting in insurance rate benefits.
Investment in Long-Term Protection:
Insurance companies appreciate homeowners who invest in long-term solutions for their property. A roof replacement is a proactive measure that demonstrates your commitment to maintaining a secure and insurable home.
How Long Does a Roof Replacement last?
The lifespan of a roof replacement depends on factors like the type of materials used and the local climate. On average, a well-installed roof can last 20-30 years or more.
