Roofing systems are expected to be sturdy enough to handle various elements and weather conditions. However, these may also cause them to decline earlier than expected. As a result, you may want to know just how old your roof is. In this post, your roofing services professional will explain why. 

Old Your Roof

Knowing Your Roof’s Age

Figuring out how old your roof is provides valuable information to your hired contractor. This can easily guide you and your roofer in addressing the potential issues by making early repairs and replacements. After all, the only way to identify what your roof requires is to conduct a comprehensive roof examination. 

Identifying the Age of the Roof

  • Reach out to the former owners. If you recently purchased the property, it’s best to track down the owners to find out how old the roof is. Most previous owners should record the jobs done on their roofing system and the rest of the home. You can also check the roof building permit by requesting a copy at your local county government office.
  • Get an inspection. You may consider asking the experts about the matter. Hiring a professional by an insurance adjuster or your local roofing and siding contractor can allow them to estimate the age of a roof more accurately.
  • When the community gets roof replacements too. In general, neighborhoods are built around the same time. Residential roofing service teams note that if your neighbors are getting their roofing replaced, it is a significant sign telling you to do the same.
