Replacing a roof is never cheap, however, there are some comparatively inexpensive options for homeowners to choose from when looking to replace their roof. Asphalt shingles are the most common and least expensive choice and come in multiple options. Three-tab shingles are the most affordable, but dimensional shingles have a longer lifespan and better warranty options. If you have questions about affordability, contact our roofing experts at Blue Monkey Roofing LLC for a FREE initial consultation!

There are some signs that you can look for when deciding if it’s time to replace your roof. Be on the lookout for curling or cupped shingles, bald spots where the asphalt granules are missing, shingle cracks, dark streaks, and excessive moss or algae growth can all be indicators of a need for roof replacement. Keep an eye on homes in your neighborhood, too! Most residential developments are built within a specific time frame, so if your neighbors are replacing their roof you may need to inspect yours too! Roofing materials generally have a lifespan of about 20 years, so if your roof is nearing or has exceeded this age it may be time to replace it.

There’s no need to do the math yourself! You can call Blue Monkey Roofing LLC to get a FREE initial consultation to get an estimate for roof replacement. We have several options for homeowners to choose from, so let us customize a plan that’s right for you and your home!

We replace the entirety of your roof when performing roof replacements, excluding certain external components like gutters and vents unless specified by the client. The old shingles are removed, and the plywood deck is thoroughly inspected for additional damage. If necessary, the plywood deck may also be replaced. New underlayment is laid, then new shingles are placed and secured for a waterproof finish.

Depending on the materials, the lifespan of your roof can vary. Common asphalt shingles generally last between fifteen to thirty years. Metal roofs have a much longer lifespan, usually around 50 to 75 years, but are less affordable. We recommend people with standard shingle roofs have them inspected at least once every few years to mitigate potential problems and extend the life of the existing roof.

In South Louisiana, the extreme heat and severe weather can shorten the lifespan of your roof. Wear is accelerated through wind, high temperatures, and moisture as they can cause shingles to quickly degrade. On average, residential roofs are usually constructed of asphalt shingles, which have a lifespan of 15-30 years.

With any kind of roofing material, regular maintenance can help to extend the life of a roof. Both light and dark-colored roofing materials can last longer if they are maintained, so finding a color that works best with your home is usually most important.

Well, it depends on the extent of the damage and the age of the roof. If the roof is on its last legs or has extensive damage, a replacement may be the way to go. However, if the damage is minor and the roof is relatively new, a repair may be sufficient. At Blue Monkey Roofing, we always recommend getting a professional opinion before making a decision.

Roof replacement involves stripping the existing roof and installing a brand spanking new one. This includes removing old shingles, repairing any damage to the decking or structure, and installing new underlayment and shingles. It’s like giving your home a fresh haircut!
