There is never a good time to have to replace a roof and the financial commitment will be a daunting one for any homeowner, but if a new roof is needed then there really is no other choice and in many cases homeowners wait too long, resulting in greater damage and even greater expense.

There are several reasons to consider a roof replacement in Asheville NC.

A roof replacement in Asheville NC could cut energy bills

A roof that has been in place for years or even decades will not have materials that have the same level of efficiency as those used today, which can cause energy loss during summer and winter months, usually due to poor ventilation.

However many technological advancements have been made by manufacturers over the years in roofing materials, with more efficient ventilation systems and newer materials helping to keep homes cooler in summer and warmer in winter, resulting in lower energy bills.

Avoiding health risks

A roof replacement in Asheville NC could stop potential health risks caused by a poor roof. Leaks cause wetness and excess moisture and even an aging roof that does not leak could still have gaps that allow in moisture or poor ventilation that results in the forming of condensation, creating an ideal environment in which mold and mildew can grow. Mold and mildew can both cause health issues if unchecked for too long but the installation of a new roof will remove that risk.
