New Roof Replacement in Tallahassee, FL
How do I know if it is time to replace my roof?
Roof aging begins soon after installation and is most noticeable during the initial curing phase. During this period, you may observe:
- Granule loss
- Small blisters
- Slight curling of the shingle edges
These effects are normal and often more pronounced in colder weather. As temperatures rise, the shingles typically flatten out. The good news? Once past this early stage, shingles enter a long period of slow, stable aging that lasts for most of their natural lifespan.
Understanding Roof Warranties
Manufacturer warranties typically range from 30 years to a lifetime. Most are fully covered for the first five years, with prorated coverage for the remainder of the term. Generally, the longer the warranty, the better the expected performance and value of the product.
At Bob McKeithen & Sons, our standard labor warranty ranges from 5 to 10 years. Thanks to our certified partnership with CertainTeed, we also offer the Integrity Roof System, which can extend your warranty coverage—both material and labor—for up to 50 years.
The Importance of Choosing a Reliable Contractor
A warranty is only as reliable as the company that stands behind it. Many roofing contractors are short-lived, making long-term warranty support uncertain. With over 38 years in business and two generations of family leadership, Bob McKeithen & Sons is proud to provide roofing services you can count on—for the full duration of your warranty and beyond.
What Else Should You Consider?
Even with a trusted professional handling your reroofing project, it helps to be informed. Certain roof conditions can limit your product options or impact the overall cost of the project. Being aware of these factors will help you make confident, informed decisions.
