A roof is exposed to the elements on a daily basis. North Carolina has a variety of harsh weather conditions that put your roofing system through the ringer.
You need to care for and maintain your roof regularly in order to make sure it can withstand the pressure. However, there is a point when roof restoration or repair is no longer an option. It eventually becomes significantly more expensive to patch up the roof than to replace it altogether.
Most homeowners choose asphalt shingles for their roof replacement because they are the cheapest and most popular option. During the last few years, however, this trend has begun to change. Many homeowners are looking for better roofing options due to the constant replacement of shingles. This might explain the popularity of residential metal roofing.
Despite metal roofs durability, there will come a point when just new coatings wont suffice anymore, and a full roof replacement will be required.

Roof replacement can take anywhere from a few days up to a week, depending on its size and complexity. In the event that the roof structure cannot be repaired, the replacement of timber-work may also take a few extra days.
As an estimate, it usually takes three to six working days to re-roof a house from start to finish, including removing the old roof, installing the new one, and leaving the site clean and tidy.
The two processes of roof repair and roof replacement may seem similar, but they are actually quite different from one another. While roof repair typically involves patching up leaks, roof replacement involves tearing down your old roof and installing a new one.
In the event that you leave things too long without getting a minor roof repair done, you may end up having to spend a lot of time and money on an entire roof replacement.
Among the most popular roofing materials in the U.S. are asphalt shingles and metal roofs. A common question asked by homeowners is which type of roofing is better. This depends entirely on your own situation and priorities.
Roofs made of asphalt shingles are generally more cost-effective in the short term and come with great warranty options, but they need regular maintenance and have a shorter lifespan.
Metal roofs are more expensive, but last longer and require less maintenance over time.Metal roofs are also capable of withstanding harsh weather conditions. For over a century, they have been protecting people’s homes from storms, fires, and even termites.
In North Carolina specifically, metal roofs are one of the best roofing systems due to their durability. Several options are available to you if you decide it’s time to replace your roof.
