Not sure if you need roof installation or if repairs will suffice? Here are the key situations when installing a new roof is the right choice for your San Francisco home:
Every roof has an expected lifespan 20–30 years for asphalt, 40–70 for metal, and up to 100 for slate. If your roof is nearing its age limit, showing visible wear, or needing frequent repairs, it’s time to replace it. Aging materials lose durability and increase the risk of leaks or storm damage. When repair costs approach 30–40% of replacement, a full installation offers better value and long-term protection.
Extensive damage from storms, hail, fire, or structural deterioration often makes replacement more cost-effective than repair. If 30% or more of your roof is compromised or leaks are appearing in multiple areas complete installation ensures lasting results, consistent appearance, and full warranty protection.
Modern roofing materials dramatically improve insulation and ventilation. Cool roofs, reflective metal, and TPO systems can reduce cooling costs by 10–30%, while better sealing and ventilation improve year-round comfort. If you notice uneven indoor temperatures or rising energy bills, upgrading your roof can deliver both comfort and savings.
Major renovations or home additions are the ideal time for roof installation. It ensures design consistency, efficient permitting, and avoids future disruption. A new roof also enhances curb appeal and resale value homes with new roofs sell faster and recover 60–70% of replacement costs.
Many homeowners replace roofs early to upgrade aesthetics, durability, and value. Tile, metal, or architectural shingles offer longer lifespans, better warranties, and timeless beauty that complements San Francisco’s architecture. Though premium materials cost more upfront, they often become a one-time investment that adds lasting value and luxury to your home.
