There has never been a better time to invest in a new roof for your home.
Many people put off replacing the roof on their property even when there are clear signs of deterioration due to the investment and time required.
This will only lead to more problems in the long-term however, and a new roof will give you the peace of mind you deserve that your property and loved ones are protected at all times.
Here at Vertex Roofing our first class 5* Glasgow roofers install high quality long-lasting roofs for customers across Scotland on a daily basis.
We have put together this guide to the top 5 reasons that you should consider a new roof for your home:
1. Safety
Nothing is more important to you than the safety of your family and home.
A faulty roof, whether leaking or structurally unstable could cause a whole range of issues that compromise this.
Leaking roofs can cause all sorts of property damage, leading to rotting wood, mould growth and mildew issues.
Mould and mildew are not only extremely unpleasant to look at and challenging to remove but can also pose a number of health concerns for those nearby.
Mould is particularly dangerous for those who suffer from asthma or other breathing conditions and generally create an unhygienic living environment.
Furthermore, if water gets into the building structure itself it could weaken the integrity of your entire home.
In the long run, you are far better having a leaking roof replaced than dealing with expensive repairs far beyond the cost of a single replacement.
2. Increased property value
If you think that there is any chance that you may move house in the medium-near future, replacing your roof will make the property much more attractive to potential buyers.
Anything that will reduce the stress and cost of moving is a massive plus point in any property hunter’s search and not having to deal with roof problems anytime soon is right at the top of this list.
There is a good chance that a new roof will even increase the value of your property itself, meaning that the cost of installation will be offset in the long-term, making it an even more sensible financial commitment.
3. Improved energy efficiency
The current energy crisis has been felt by everyone across the UK, with the cost of heating a property rising at a frightening rate on an almost weekly basis.
As a result, increasing energy efficiency has become a major priority of property owners and a new roof is a fantastic way to do just that.
Replacing old roofing parts with the very latest thermal materials will dramatically reduce heat lost through your roof helping you heat your home much faster and keep it at a comfortable temperature with far less reliance on your home heating system.
To maximise your energy efficiency, you may consider installing solar panels at the same time as a new roof, which will provide you with completely free clean energy all your long.
Taking these steps will not only result in lower energy bills but will also see you slash your carbon footprint and help you do your bit towards tackling the current climate crisis.
4. Increased curb appeal
An old roof can give a sad and tired appearance to your home with broken tiles, moss, and general grime significantly damaging the aesthetic.
No matter how tidy you keep the inside, and the rest of the exterior, of your home, a deteriorating roof will give the impression that your home is not as well maintained as you might like.
A new Vertex Roofing Glasgow, on the other hand, will completely refresh the look of your home giving it a sleek, beautiful finish that will impress passers-by and guests as well as restoring your pride when coming home after a long day at work.
If your home is in a road full of other properties that could also do with a new roof this upgrade will also help you stand out as one of the most modern homes in the neighbourhood even if all the houses are of a similar age.
5. Durability
As a property owner in Scotland, you know just how much damage adverse weather can do.
With your home constantly having to withstand wind, rain, snow, and sun (sometimes all in the same day!) it is crucial that your home is protected properly.
A new roof will significantly improve the durability of your home, keeping everyone inside safe and sound whatever the weather for decades to come.
Furthermore, when you choose a roof from Vertex you will benefit from 35 years of quality workmanship, giving you peace of mind that the materials used have undergone extensive testing and have been proven to offer excellent protection against the elements once installed.
