Ask Chris - Is Now a Good Time for a New Roof?

Q: My house needs a new roof, but with all of the bad economic news I’m wondering about the wisdom of spending money on my house right now. Is it a good idea?


A: If you’re not planning to move – it absolutely is a good idea. The maintenance needs to be done regardless of anything else, and if you’re staying in your home it makes even more sense to upgrade to a permanent metal roof and eliminate this major maintenance concern for generations to come. If your house isn’t going to be for sale anytime soon, then the best advice is to put on the best roof your budget allows regardless of what the headlines say today.
