There are some signs you can look for that will indicate that it might be time to replace your roof. If your roof is missing shingles or shingles are cracked or have curled edges, you should schedule an inspection with a roofing contractor. There are some other more subtle signs to look out for, including dark streaks on your roof or the presence of moss.

 

Whether you repair or replace your roof will depend on the extent of the damage to your roof and whether or not the integrity of your home has been compromised. If your roof isn’t very old, chances are that repairing can be an option but it’s best to have a professional roof inspection to determine if you need a full roof replacement. 

 
 

There are many types of roof materials to choose from. From asphalt shingles, concrete and clay tile roofing and composite roofing to flat rubber roofing, metal roofing and solar roofs, options are abundant. The type of roof you choose will depend a lot on your geographic location, your budget, and of course your aesthetic preferences. There are pros and cons to each type of roofing material. To find out more about these options, contact Berry Roofing & Solar today.

Solar roofing is made of solar panels that are configured as roof shingles and integrated into conventional asphalt-type shingles and can be integrated into shake, concrete, tile and slate roofs as well. 

 
 
 
 
 
 

In appearance, they look like normal asphalt shingles but possess the power to convert solar energy into electrical energy for your home. These shingles have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years. While there is a bigger upfront cost involved with installing solar shingles, the return on investment with energy savings is worth it. 

 
 
 
 
 
 

Unless you’re a professional roofer, you probably don’t have the proper skills or tools for the job. Plus, most roofing warranties require that a certified roofing contractor does the work. There’s also the threat of injury. If you don’t have the proper safety equipment, you’re increasing your chances of a life-threatening fall. Having your roof properly installed is just as important as the materials that you choose for your roof to ensure the efficiency and integrity of your roof.

Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. From there, an inverter will convert the energy into alternating current (AC) electricity, which then flows into your main electric service panel, allowing you to power lights, appliances, etc.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The answer to this question is largely going to depend on how much power you use on an average day. Plus, you need to take into account your location and how much solar radiation reaches the ground. Most people won’t know the answers to these questions, but a solar roofing professional can help you.
