If you’re planning to sell your home, remember the importance of creating a first impression. Because your home’s exterior is the first thing a prospective homebuyer will see, your entire roof should look in great shape. A discolored roof may not discourage most people, but if your roof is sagging or has missing shingles, your home could be on the skip list. 

If you’re looking for a new home, you should know when it was built and what kind of renovations have been done. These are essential things to know because they will tell you whether the house is ready to move in or if it needs to be upgraded to enhance comfort and utility. For a variety of reasons, you should also consider finding out the exact age of your roofing system.

Strong winds have the ability to cause extensive roof damage. This natural force alone, however, isn’t entirely to blame. There are a variety of elements you need to look into to determine whether your asphalt shingle roof is wind-resistant or not. Shine Construction Inc., a residential roofing and siding contractor, discusses some of them.
