How Many Times Do You Want to Repair or Replace Your Roof in Your Lifetime?

Most people don't think about their roof until something happens, like a roof leak or some shingles come up missing, or a couple of tiles have fallen off. Usually, by the time a roof leak is found, the damage that is done is extensive and expensive. It's always a good idea to have your roof inspected regularly, at least once a year, keeping a roof well maintained is easier and less expensive that replacing one. Your roof is one of the most expensive parts to your home, and how well it has been treated in the past will govern what kinds of problems you may run into in the future.
