Historical homes carry with them a certain timeless appeal that newer homes simply do not have. Unfortunately, they can be difficult to maintain, as a lot of their parts (roofing, in particular) can be quite old and must be custom-made, making it quite challenging to find free roof estimates whenever you need repairs or replacement.

Many roofers may tell you to stick with asphalt shingles for roof replacement projects. It’s popular, low cost, practical and even suits many traditional home styles. Tile, metal or slate roofs, though they last longer, cost a lot more and are quite heavy. Many homes aren’t built to support them. Wood shingles, ideal for ranch or rustic homes, can develop algae in moist climates. That’s why asphalt shingles are the go-to option among homeowners.

It takes careful planning and consideration to fully replace your roof, and this can be a daunting task if you choose to do it on your own. It’s better to do your research and hire a professional who can help you build a good roof over your home. Of course, you should also hire someone who knows how to listen and communicate with you in each step of the roofing process.

Asphalt shingles provide reliable protection against the elements. However, much like other roofing materials, they can also be prone to damage if they are poor quality or eventually deteriorate due to age. Cracking and splitting are two common issues in asphalt shingles.
