If you have a shingle roof that’s more than a decade old, or a roof that has endured the brunt of a storm, then it may be time to replace your roof. But how can you be sure that your roof ought to be replaced?

Unlike previous warranties available for shingles (which lasted only a certain amount of years — e.g. a 30-year warranty), the GAF (the largest roofing manufacturer in North America) started issuing limited lifetime warranties for shingles that fail.

Homeowners want a home that can withstand the weather — after all, it provides peace of mind to have a strong roof over your head. It’s important to keep your roof tip-top.

Here at Red Dog’s, we know roofing. As a matter of fact, we’re the folks to call for roofing repairs, maintenance, and installations if you live here in Massachusetts. We deal with all sorts of roofing components while we’re up on your abode: chimneys, vents, gutters, you name it.

If you’re redoing your roof, or if you’re constructing a new home, you know that your roofing material counts. It’s a serious decision, and there are so many options out there (including asphalt shingles, wooden shakes, slate tiles, composite tiles, and metal).

The Limited Lifetime Warranty has become an industry standard term for asphalt roofing shingles. Shingles manufactured in the past were warrantied for a specified number of years, such as a 30-year shingle.
