Michigan-based roofing company Miller's Home Improvement has published a blog post educating local homeowners on the roof replacement options available to them.

The blog post begins by introducing the two choices that homeowners have - reroofing and tear-off roof replacement. Both are viable options following catastrophic roof damage due to a natural event or if they are just looking to upgrade their property. However, the choice will be different based on each homeowner’s needs and budget.

Reroofing is the recommended path for homeowners who want to restore their roofs to their former glory without breaking the bank. It is the most common option that homeowners go for if emergency roof repairs are just not going to cut it. This is especially pertinent in Michigan, a state which averages around 15 tornadoes per year.

Reroofing involves installing new asphalt shingles without tearing off the old roofing materials. Due to its piecemeal nature, the repairs are affordable and can be finished within a few days, the latter of which can be an important consideration if there is an incoming storm. Reroofing projects, though effective, aren’t nearly as durable or dependable as the second option, tear-off roof replacements.

The Miller's Home Improvement blog post then dives into the many advantages that tear-off roof replacements offer over reroofing. First, since tear-offs require the old roof material to be removed, it allows roofers to inspect the structural integrity of the home’s innards, such as whether the wooden rafters in the attic have been weakened by rot and water damage. Thus, homeowners get a chance to not only install a new roof but also correct the damage their home has accrued over the years.

One of the reasons why tear-off roof replacements, if homeowners can afford them, are highly recommended is the associated warranties. Most roof material manufacturers only factor in tear-off roof replacements into their warranties, which are transferable with a freshly installed roof. So, it becomes a balancing act between a homeowner’s budget and their long-term goals of property ownership.

The blog post then presents information from Werner Roofing & Exterior to make its case for tear-off replacements. The notable arguments in its favor are that it is a long-term solution, it gives homeowners a chance to upgrade their roof structure, and it looks brand new, raising the value of the property when it comes time to resell it.

Roof replacements can last anywhere from 20 to 30 years depending on the choice of shingles and the quality of the materials used. Homeowners with properties that have begun to show their age can benefit a lot from roof replacements as it allows them to restrengthen their homes, add new insulation, and potentially lower their energy costs.

Michigan homeowners torn between the two options can rely on Miller’s Home Improvement to guide them through the difficult decision.
