4 Reasons Maumelle Homeowners Replace Their Roofs

A roof does not fail on a schedule, but in Maumelle the same four reasons come up again and again when a homeowner calls us about a replacement. Here is what they are, how to tell whether your roof is close, and what a replacement in Maumelle involves.

1. Storm damage

Maumelle sits in a part of Central Arkansas that sees hail, strong wind and tornado warnings. Hail bruises shingles and knocks off the granules that protect them from the sun, and wind lifts and creases shingles so they stop sealing. Left alone, that damage lets water reach the decking, which leads to rot. If a storm has come through, we offer a free 30-minute storm or replacement inspection with our 21-Point Roof Inspection Report and photos, and we can work with your insurance company on the claim. See storm damage repair.

2. Age

We plan on 15 to 20 years for an asphalt shingle roof in Arkansas. Manufacturer ratings often assume a milder climate than our heat, humidity and storms. If your roof is in that range, or you see curling, cracked or missing shingles, granules in the gutters or stains on the ceiling, it is time for a professional look. See signs you need a new roof.

3. Problems left by earlier work

Poorly installed flashing, missing ventilation and shingles that were never nailed correctly cause leaks and early wear no matter how old the roof is. A repair can fix a single problem; when the mistakes run across the whole roof, a replacement is usually the better use of your money. We put the choice in writing: see repair or replace.

4. Selling the home

An old or damaged roof is one of the first things a buyer's inspector writes up. Replacing it before you list removes that objection and can help the sale go more smoothly. Talk with your realtor about what makes sense for your home.

What a roof replacement in Maumelle involves

Maumelle requires a roofing permit for a roof replacement, and we pull it. We tear the roof off to the deck, replace any rotted decking only after you approve a written change order, and install a complete Atlas Signature Select system or our Armor metal roof. Every package comes with a written Patriot Leak Free Guarantee of up to 15 years, and you can compare all four packages and their prices on our roof prices page. Financing is available with approved credit; see financing.
