Not everything in a roofing system needs replacement when your roof needs major repair. The roofing experts at Callaway Roofing, Siding, And Windows will happily inspect your roof and let you know what needs replacing and what doesn’t.

Installing new shingles involves removing your existing shingles, underlays, flashing, and whatever else needs replacing, however, each part is not sourced from the same manufacturer and may not even be of the same quality. Sourcing roofing materials from multiple manufacturers is done either to increase the profit from providing a roofing service or to save you money.

Replacing a roof system consists of removing the shingles, flashing, and underlays, inspecting and repairing the deck, and installing all-new materials from the deck up all sourced from a single, reputable, manufacturer and the same line to ensure your Sioux Falls home or commercial property is getting the best protection from a harmonious roof system.  If the exhaust vents need replacing or additional ventilation is needed, your roofing contractor will install those as well. 

New Shingles Vs Roofing System:  Warranty

When a roofing contractor installs new shingles and roofing materials sourced from several different manufacturers and different lines, warranties may be voided. 

Roofing materials all have separate warranties and within those warranties, there are specifications that need to be met for them to be honored by the manufacturer. For example, a shingles manufacturer warranty may specify that it will only honor the warranty if installed on top of a particular kind of barrier or if installed by a roofing contractor they recognize.

When a roofer sources every roofing material from a different manufacturer or even a different line, the roofing system may not function as a uniform barrier and protection system for your home. Ultimately, your roof is not getting the protection you think it is. While you might be saving money initially, having new shingles installed rather than a holistic roofing system will end up costing you more in the end.

Replacing your existing roof with new asphalt shingles alone costs between $5 000 and $11 000 while installing a new roof system with asphalt shingles can cost between $10 000 and $20 000. To see roof repair price comparisons go to HomeAdvisor. 

While you may think you are saving money by hiring a roofing contractor to install your new shingles who sources materials from several suppliers to cut costs, having a roofing system installed saves you money in the long run. 

If your roofing materials are not from a single manufacturer, they may not provide the lasting protection you invested in and will end up costing you more in the long run with premature replacement, or worse.

A roofing system is the best roofing solution for your Sioux Falls, SD, property. A system ensures that all materials are from the same manufacturer and are designed to work together harmoniously to protect your home or business for as long as its warranty states.
