Understanding When Your Home Needs a Re-roof
A re-roof represents one of the most significant investments you’ll make in your property, and at Best Solutions Roofing & Siding, we understand the importance of getting it right the first time. Your roof serves as the primary barrier between your family and the elements, and when it reaches the end of its lifespan, a complete re-roof becomes essential for maintaining your home’s structural integrity and value. Most asphalt shingle roofs last between 20 to 30 years, while architectural shingles can extend that lifespan to 40 years with proper maintenance. However, factors like severe weather events, poor ventilation, and inadequate initial installation can significantly reduce these timeframes.
Our experienced team regularly encounters homeowners who aren’t sure whether they need roof repair or a complete re-roof. Key indicators include widespread granule loss on shingles, multiple leaks in different areas, sagging roof decks, and daylight visible through roof boards in the attic. When more than 30% of your roof shows signs of deterioration, a re-roof typically becomes more cost-effective than continued repairs. We provide free estimates to help you make an informed decision about your roofing investment with an experienced roofing contractor you can trust.
The Re-roofing Process: What to Expect
When you choose Best Solutions Roofing & Siding for your re-roof project, we begin with a detailed roof inspection of your existing roof structure. This includes examining the decking, evaluating ventilation systems, and checking for any underlying damage that needs addressing before new materials are installed. Our GAF Certified status means we follow industry-leading practices and have access to premium materials that come with enhanced warranty protection. We remove all existing roofing materials down to the deck, allowing us to identify and repair any structural issues that might compromise your new roof’s performance.
The installation process involves multiple critical steps that our highly trained crews execute with precision. After deck repairs, we install high-quality underlayment that provides an additional moisture barrier. Proper ice and water shield application in valleys and around penetrations prevents the most common leak points. We then install starter strips, field shingles, and ridge caps using manufacturer-specified nailing patterns and sealants. Throughout the Centralia, Chehalis, Fords Prairie, Grand Mound, & Rochester, WA area, weather conditions can vary dramatically, so we schedule installations during optimal weather windows and take extra precautions to protect your property during the work.
Material Selection and Energy Efficiency Considerations
Selecting the right roofing materials for your re-roof project involves balancing aesthetics, durability, and budget considerations. As a family-owned and operated company, we prioritize transparent communication about your options and never push unnecessary upgrades. Modern architectural shingles offer excellent durability and come in various colors and styles to complement your home’s architecture. We also install metal roofing systems, which provide exceptional longevity and energy efficiency, particularly beneficial for commercial properties throughout the Lewis County & Southern Thurston County, WA.
Energy efficiency has become increasingly important in roofing decisions, with cool roof technologies reducing cooling costs by up to 15% during summer months. These specialized shingles reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat than standard roofing materials. We also focus on proper attic ventilation during re-roof projects, as inadequate airflow can increase energy costs and reduce shingle lifespan by up to 50%. Our passion is providing exceptional roofing services for residential and commercial properties that deliver long-term value and performance.
Investment Protection and Long-term Benefits
A professionally installed re-roof from Best Solutions Roofing & Siding protects more than just your home’s structure; it safeguards your entire investment. Quality roofing materials and expert installation can increase your property value by up to 70% of the project cost, according to recent remodeling industry reports.
