Every homeowner has to replace their roof eventually. A roof replacement is a major investment for you and your family. Your home's roof is one of the most important elements of your property, so if it needs to be replaced, don't delay. Here are three essential benefits you'll gain from working with roofing contractors to get a new roof.

Improved Energy Efficiency

It's valuable to know how a roof replacement will improve your energy efficiency and even lower your monthly energy bills. By replacing your roof, you're doing more than just patching holes; you're completely swapping older, worn materials for newer, higher-quality materials. Although your older roof may not have any water leaks, you could have air leaks, which can reduce your HVAC system's efficiency. Older shingles can also absorb heat, which during the warmer months can bring unwanted heat into your home. With a new roof from DECA Improvements, you likely won’t need to run your HVAC system as much during the warmer months, which will keep your home cooler and help you cut down on your energy bills.

Increased Return on Investment

In addition to saving money on energy bills, a new roof also offers a great return on investment. This is because a new roof will extend the life of your home and improve your curb appeal when it’s time to resell your home. In fact, according to Home365, a new roof can maintain up to 85% of its value upon resale. If you're planning on staying in your home, know that DECA Improvements offers automatic lifetime protection with the purchase of our GAF shingles.

Enhanced Health and Safety

Your old roof may be putting your family at risk. New roofs prevent mold and mildew buildup over time caused by water damage. According to Healthline, mold and mildew can be health risks for all people, not just those with asthma and allergies. A new roof will also protect your family from life-threatening injuries caused by wind and loose debris. Especially if you live in areas with extreme weather, it's important to keep an eye on your roof and notice if it is at risk of partial collapse. DECA Improvements will work with you to protect the structural integrity of your home.

Replacing your roof can initially sound like an expensive task, but its long-term benefits far outweigh its costs. If you haven't done so already, be sure to look at your home's records to determine the age of your roof.
