Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements, yet many homeowners wait too long to repair or replace it, often leading to costly damage. As a trusted local home remodeling company serving New York and New England for over 60 years, ProEdge Remodeling is here to separate roofing myths from facts—and potentially help save you thousands of dollars in future repairs.
Myth 1: You Only Need a New Roof When It Starts to Leak
The Truth:
Waiting for a leak is like waiting for your car engine to fail before changing the oil. Your roof can show signs of aging long before water starts dripping into your home. Key indicators to watch for include:
- Curling or missing shingles
- Sagging areas
- Worn or damaged flashing
- Granule erosion
At ProEdge Remodeling, we conduct a comprehensive examination of your entire roofing system, not just what’s visible from the ground.Early detection of these issues can prevent costly interior repairs and emergency fixes down the line.
Tip: If your roof is over 15 years old, you may qualify for a free roof exam. For added peace of mind, use our free online Instant Roof Report or book your free roof exam with the ProEdge Remodeling roofing experts.
Myth 2: All Roofing Materials Are the Same
The Truth: Roofing materials vary widely in quality, durability, and performance. While cheaper shingles may save money upfront, they often break down faster when exposed to New York and New England's unpredictable weather. We exclusively use top-rated roofing products that have been thoroughly tested for:
- Wind resistance
- Moisture protection
- Energy efficiency
Whether you choose metal or asphalt shingles, our ProEdge Remodeling roofing experts ensure your roof provides lasting protection and enhances your home's curb appeal.
Myth 3: Metal Roofs Attract Lightning
The Truth: Metal roofs do not attract lightning. In fact, they are safer than many alternatives because they are non-combustible and help disperse energy efficiently.
ProEdge Remodeling installs metal roofing throughout Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New York, ensuring homes withstand all weather safely.
Myth 4: Roof Replacement is Too Expensive
The Truth: Modern financing makes a new roof replacement more affordable than ever. With ProEdge Remodeling, you can get a complete roofing system for as low as $189/month.
Special Offer: Enjoy NO payments and NO interest for 12 months on select roofing projects.
