I delayed replacing the old roof on our beach house for as long as possible.

I knew it was going to be a long, dirty, messy as well as aggravating project.

The age of our beach house as well as the number of times the roof had been previously patched necessitated a complete removal for the old roof. Any time there was a windstorm, I’d find stray shingles scattered across the grass. If there was a taxing rain, I’d need to set buckets under the various leaks. I was unduly concerned that the moisture would cause damage to the structure of the home as well as could lead to mildew as well as mold growth, however replacing the whole roof was as terrible as anticipated. The two of us were unable to run the central cooling system as well as the outside temperature was always in the upper 90s. The humidity was brutal, as well as there was a constant influx of bugs. When the more modern roof was finally in locale, I expected it to take a entirely long time for the home to fully cool down. I was dreading a sizable electric bill. I was surprised when the central cooling system had every room nice as well as cool in no time at all. The modern roof significantly lowered our summer time energy costs. When Winter arrived, the furnace didn’t need to run for as long or task as taxing to maintain a comfortable temperature. The lower utility bills really helped to recover the investment into the roof. I also observed that our home didn’t need to be cleaned nearly as often. There is absolutely an improvement in air quality as well as overall comfort. The living rooms are no longer several degrees warmer than the downstairs areas.
