Determining the right time for replacement depends on your roof's age, condition, and repair history. Most asphalt shingle roofs last 20-25 years, though East Texas weather can shorten this lifespan.
Material selection is crucial. Consider your budget, desired lifespan, aesthetic preferences, and energy efficiency goals. Options include asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and specialty materials like slate or tile.
The replacement process typically takes 1-3 days for residential projects. It includes removing old materials, inspecting and repairing decking, installing underlayment, and applying new roofing materials.
