Replacing your home’s roof is an integral part of being a homeowner. Your roofing system is in place to protect your home from the onslaught of the elements and to keep it dry and clean from moisture, dirt, and debris. People replace their rooftops for many reasons, primarily because their roofs might have sustained some damage or significantly aged over time. Los Angeles rooftops are commonly replaced due to old age and heat and wind damage.
How These Elements Affect Your Home In Los Angeles
Heat
The heat in Los Angeles is capable of significantly deteriorating your home’s roofing system. Asphalt shingles curl and crack, tiles split in half, cedar shakes dry out and crack, even your metal roofing can warp and bend. No matter what type of roofing materials you have installed, prolonged exposure to the sun’s harmful UV rays can cause even the most durable roofing materials to perish.
Wind
Wind can be quite a deadly force, especially in areas like Los Angeles. Winds that reach speeds of over 100 mph can quickly cause significant damage to your roofing system, damages which include wind uplift, destruction to gutters, loosening of soffits and fascias, and more. Extreme wind events like tornadoes or hurricanes can completely destroy your rooftop or even your home.
Old Age
A roofing system’s primary function is to protect your home from the elements. When your roof starts to fall apart and let in the rain, hail, and sunshine, it’s no longer capable of performing its fundamental purpose. Old rooftops usually have leaking ceilings, missing shingles, broken roof tiles, missing flashing, and more.
