Roof and Gutter Replacement Upgrades to Consider

Contents

Planning on getting a new roof for your home? According to the leading roofing contractor in the area, it might also be a good time to consider getting a few upgrades to your roof and gutter. Here is a quick rundown of worthy upgrades that you should prioritize on your next roofing project.

 Gutter Replacement

Upsizing Gutters

Upgrading from 5 to 6-inch gutters may not seem like much, but experts say that a 6-inch gutter can hold 25% more water than its slightly smaller option. A bigger gutter is better because there’s no telling when heavy rains could cause runoff to overflow from a smaller trough so your home stays protected from serious moisture damage.

Ridge Vents

Does your current roof have ridge vents? Ridge vents work more efficiently compared to regular vents because of how warm air naturally rises up. This makes it easier to keep your attic and ceiling from getting too hot and humid. Roof replacement experts say that ridge vents also help prevent issues like ice dams during winter because it doesn’t trap warm air that can cause snow to melt and refreeze.

Gutter Guards

Gutter guards are available in all shapes and forms, but all of them are designed to prevent debris from clogging the roof and downspout. According to our team of experts, gutter guards allow you to greatly cut down on gutter maintenance so you also save on routine gutter cleaning costs in the long run.

Energy-Efficient Shingles

Some roofing materials do a better job at keeping the heat or cold out of your home. Roof repair experts say that your roof replacement project is also a great opportunity to upgrade to more energy-efficient shingles. Many of these energy-efficient options feature reflective granules that deflect more heat and sunlight away from the home compared to their older counterparts.
