Show Replace Old Roof To Prevent Damage The roof is the first line of defense de-fense protecting your home in its constant battle with the elements. No one questions the wisdom of putting a new set of tires on an automobile before the old ones wear out and endanger the safety of the driver and his passengers. Similarly, it is good sense for a home owner to replace old and battered roofing material with a new roof of asphalt shingles before be-fore rain and snow succeed in penetrating the roof deck. Leaks in a roof frequently damage dam-age the inside of the house, and in time may rot and decay the roof boards. When this happens, re-roofing becomes difficult and costly. It is important, therefore, to replace re-place an old roof before it leaks, just as it is important to put on r.ew tires before the first blowout. |
