Re-Roofing Longwood

Re-Roofing for Your Home or Business

For re-roofing in Longwood, Florida, call Brian Sikes Roofing. Re-roofing can be a more affordable option for homeowners, as it doesn’t require the complete removal of old shingles and insulation like a full roof replacement. This process saves both time and money by layering a new set of shingles on top of the existing ones. However, re-roofing can only be done once—adding a third layer of shingles can cause issues, as nails may not secure the shingles properly. If your roof is aging but in generally good condition with no major damage, missing shingles, or moss, re-roofing may be a viable, cost-effective solution. At Brian Sikes Roofing, we provide honest assessments to determine whether re-roofing or a full roof replacement is best for you.

What to Consider When Deciding if you

Should Re-Roof Your Home

My house has several chimneys. Should I consider installing “crickets” when re-roofing?

If your house has several chimneys, especially if they are located on a downward slope and are 18 inches or wider, installing “crickets” during a re-roofing project is highly recommended. A cricket is a small, peaked structure that diverts water away from the base of the chimney, preventing water buildup, which can lead to leaks and roof damage over time. By installing crickets, you reduce the risk of standing water that can erode the roof’s materials and cause costly repairs. This simple addition can significantly extend the lifespan of your roof and ensure better overall drainage, helping to protect both the chimney and the surrounding roofing system. It’s a smart investment for any homeowner with chimneys, especially during a re-roofing project.
