Since the weather is getting nicer and temperatures are rising, many people are starting to plan home improvements. This season is also one of the best times to replace your old roofing system, especially if it’s nearing or over 20 years. A new roof will offer you better protection from the elements, increase your home’s energy efficiency, and boost curb appeal. 

After decades of use, roofs can lose their shingles and gutters can sag. For these parts of your home, it’s usually easy to know when you need a replacement. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for siding. Siding replacements are rarely at the top of a homeowners’ list of dream home improvement projects. In most cases, people will only consider replacing their siding if there are conspicuous problems in them.

A well-planned patio door and window replacement is one of the easiest ways to give your home a facelift. Choosing the right type of patio door, in particular, will not only increase the value of your home but, if depending on your choice of product, can even save you money on your energy bills.

During roof maintenance, repairs, and replacement jobs, roofers will often put down the underlayment, a water-resistant barrier, first to make sure that the roof deck is 100% protected against water penetration. The roof surface itself may do the bulk of the work, but the underlayment is there to catch any potential leaks that might slip through the shingles.
