  1. Reroofing vs. New Roof Installation – Understanding the Differences With roofs being one of the biggest investments made in the houses, doing it right can yield homeowners a significant return. However, no roof is designed to last for a lifetime. If your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan or you notice signs of wear and tear in the rooftop, you might wonder whether to opt for a reroof or complete replacement. A professional roofer recommends reroofing if the existing roof is in good condition rather than tearing it off and installing a new one. This option will help you add years to your roof's life expectancy for a fraction of the replacement cost. However, if your roof's lifespan is about to end or it's damaged beyond repair, you can't put off installing a new roof Melbourne. But what's the actual difference between these two? Let's understand reroofing and new roof installation and the difference between them. What is Reroofing?

  2. Reroofing is a cost-effective alternative to tearing down the existing roof and replacing it with a new one. It involves placing a new layer of tiles. By opting for reroofing, you can improve your roof's appearance and protect the roof to prevent leaks. Additionally, you'll need to check if the building codes allow reroofing or not. Certain types of roofs can't be restored, and you need to go for a complete new roof installation to comply with the building codes. In this case, professional roofing contractors Melbourne will recommend replacing the old roof with the new one. Pros of Reroofing Here are the pros of reroofing: ● Budget-friendly: Roofing contractors who are experts in reroofing mainly focus on fixing the worn-out or damaged areas of the roof, making it a budget-friendly solution for minor issues. Fast and easy: Reroofing involves adding a layer of shingles over the existing ones rather than tearing the existing roof and installing the new one. Restoring a roof is much easier and less time-consuming than replacing it. Instant facelift: With reroofing, you can instantly restore the overall exterior appearance of your roof and home, giving them a new look at a lower price. Extended protection: Professional reroofing will help you keep minor roof issues at bay and prevent leaks for longer. ● ● ● What is New Roof Installation? Installing a new roof makes sense when having significant problems with your roof deck, such as a leaky roof due to broken or missing shingles. A professional installation of a new roof Melbourne involves tearing out the existing roof and replacing it with a new one. It will address all roofing problems rather than just covering the damages, as with reroofing. Roofing contractors will remove the waterproofing and underlayment layers and replace them with new roofing material. After tearing out the overlaying tiles and underlayment, roofers will inspect the roof decking. If the deck is intact, they apply new water barriers, underlayment, and tiles. However, if the deck is damaged, roofers repair it before installing a new roof. Pros of Installing a New Roof

  3. Here are the pros of replacing new roofs with new ones: ● Complete peace of mind: By installing a new roof Melbourne, you will be assured that you have a safe and secure roof above your head. After replacing your existing, damaged roof with a new one, you will have a roof with no damages and leaks that won't fail in the coming years. Upgrading the exterior of your home: A newly replaced and well-maintained roof will enhance the aesthetics of your home's exterior. With no curled tiles and stains, your roof will look brand-new and, thus, will instantly change how your home looks from the outside. Increases the property's value: Replacing the old roofs can boost resale value, especially when considering selling your house. Buyers usually prefer paying more for homes with new, sturdy roofs. Maximising home's energy efficiency: The new roof installed by professional roofing contractors Melbourne can help make your home energy efficient. For instance, with increased durability and sturdiness, your roof will prevent warm air from escaping from your home, reducing the need for a thermostat and, thus, lowering energy bills. ● ● ● Deciding Between Reroofing and Installing a New Roof Reroofing can be a time and cost-effective choice if your roof is still in good shape and has minor damages with no missing or soggy tiles or significant leaks. On the other hand, it's ideal to replace the roofs with severe storm damage, major leaks, or extensive water damage and install new ones. Bottom Line Reroofing can temporarily solve minor issues with your roof, whereas a new roof installation can fix things completely. When deciding between reroofing and new roof installation, you should consider critical factors such as your roof's condition and age, the cost, timing, availability of materials and equipment, weather, etc. Furthermore, hire professional roofing contractors Melbourne for efficient roofing projects regardless of your choice.
