What Are the Benefits of Replacing a Roof Versus Repairing it?
You know that feeling when you have an old car you keep throwing money at for patch repairs, wondering when the time is to just pull the plug and commit to a new car? Then you get the new car and realize you’d been wasting your money? Roofs follow the same principle!
Our experienced roof repair professionals will be honest with you, helping you assess whether a repair job or complete replacement makes sense for your home. Opting for a new roof can boost your home’s protection, value, curb appeal, and energy efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roofing Services Near You
Here are some of the questions we get about Ann Arbor asphalt roof and replacement. If you have other questions, please feel free to contact us!
In the past, your asphalt roof would be replaced every 15-30 years. Three-tab shingles last around 15-20 years, while architectural shingles last between 20-30 years. Regularly maintain your roof to ensure a long lifespan of up to 30 years. Our GAF Timberline HDZ shingles have a manufacturer’s 50-year warranty.
Harsh Michigan winters with extreme wind, snow, ice, and hail can damage even the most high-quality shingles. Three common ways winter can impact your roof are through ice damming (melting and refreezing ice), wind damage, and hail and ice damage. Michigan doesn’t stop with winter though! We also experience the heavy rain of spring, which can cause leaks in compromised areas, and the strong UV rays of summer, which can accelerate shingle warping or curling.
From PD Home Exteriors, you can expect a partner who will provide excellent customer service and top-notch craftsmanship. We’ll visit your home for a no-obligation estimate. Then we’ll discuss options for materials, financing, and whatever else is needed. Then we get to work by removing the old roof, inspecting roof decking, laying a properly installed foundation, proper ventilation and lastly, installing your chosen asphalt shingles.
We’re glad you asked! There are several ways you can extend your roof’s lifespan. Promptly address any cracked, curling, or missing shingles. Clean gutters at least twice a year in the spring and fall. Remove any debris regularly and trim back branches that hang over your roof. And most importantly, insure you have proper ventilation in your attic.
