Being cooped up in your home can be frustrating, but it can also be an opportunity to focus on something you might have been neglecting: your house. With the state of Nevada issuing a stay-at-home order, you’ll be staying indoors quite often. So why not make your living space more pleasant?
People renovate their homes for many reasons, and this year, comfort and beauty are the two biggest drivers — especially for roof trends.
Get your roof ready for a pandemic lockdown
On April 1, Nevada became the 38th state to issue a stay-at-home order to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmissions. And because Nevadans now spend so much time inside their houses, it has become imperative that their dwellings be as safe and comfortable as possible.
So you’ve finally decided to get your roof replaced. But between making that decision and before the roof contractors lift the first shingle, you have a lot of work to do. As a homeowner in Nevada, you have the responsibility of making sure that everything goes smoothly for your household and your immediate community.
The average lifespan of roofs is 20 years. But weathering, overloading, and accidents can drive homeowners in Nevada to have parts of their roofs repaired or even overhauled way before that milestone.
Determining if it's time for your roof to be fixed or replaced can be difficult if you don't know the types of damage it can sustain.
Thousands of Americans, including Nevadans, deal with winter roof damage every year. That’s why roof inspection in spring is a must for every household: it allows you to see how your roof fared against the harsh winter.
But while you may be anxious to know the state of your roof, inspecting it yourself is not advisable.
Sunlight brightens up any residential or commercial interior, and there's no better way to maximize it than by daylighting. Daylighting is the use of design elements like windows, skylights, and reflective surfaces to bring in as much natural lighting as possible.
Winter spares no roof. All houses and buildings must face its freezing claws and withstand the coldest time of the year. But although all roofs shield people and property from the cold, commercial roofs are designed and built differently from residential ones.
Winter may have left your roof dented and caused it to lose shingles. Perhaps harsh winter winds have caused a tree branch to crash into and damage a section of your roof, resulting in extensive damage. It’s understandable that you would want to get it fixed as soon as possible, but you shouldn’t entrust the job to just anyone.
The new year is for new beginnings. If you want to start a new hobby or learn another language, it’s the perfect time to do so. Many people begin anew by redesigning their homes. Should you want to do the same, then your roof is the perfect place to start renovations.
Winter is the harshest time of the year for your house. With the season bringing snow and hail storms, you’ll be lucky if your roof survives with little to no damage. Here’s how to check whether your roof needs to be repaired or replaced after the coldest season of the year.
