Everything about roof renovations

Ensuring that your roof is in good condition is vital to the overall health of your home. You need to ensure that it’s not just providing what you need in terms of functionality but that it looks great! So, what are the signs that your roof needs a revamp or a renovation? And if needed, how can you take advantage of a roof renovation and consider adding more daylight to your home?

Why renovate your roof?

To start with, you need to identify the areas of your roof that need to be renovated, as structural repairs may be necessary to secure your home and your family's safety. It might be part of an upgrade to your drainage system, a fresh layer of paint as part of a design update or something else.

No doubt introducing a roof window to your home as part of a roof renovation will significantly impact not just your home's looks but also how you and your family live. While you will naturally have to pay for the extra materials and a slight increase in labour costs, this will be significantly less costly than putting roof windows in later as a separate project.

What are the benefits of a roof renovation?

Time and moneyAs with most projects, time and money are important factors in determining the scope of your roof renovation. When it comes to it, you’ll want the best value for money with a roof that is easy to maintain, offers a sufficient level of insulation, and is well-ventilated and eco-friendly. By renovating your roof, you can save money and time by using high-quality materials and doing everything in one go, which reduces the chances of having to re-do the project and lower maintenance costs.
Upgrade with daylightA complete roof renovation will also allow you to review and understand what your home does and doesn’t provide. With a roof renovation, you have a chance to make an impactful change by considering how daylight and fresh air can be better used to improve the indoor-climate for you and your family. Besides the positive impacts on the indoors, a new roof with roof windows will improve your home's curb appeal - after all, roofs are one of the most visible features of the exterior of a house.
Energy efficiencyHigh energy expenses come from a variety of places in your home: drafty doors, open windows, improperly insulated basements and a roof that’s outdated and in dire need of renovation. As your roof ages, it breaks down and becomes less effective at its job in several ways. Temperatures and humidity levels from the outdoors begin to seep in and affect your home’s internal environment. As a homeowner considering a new roof, it’s essential to think about what makes the roof energy efficient.
