After hubby and I got married 28 years ago it was approximately two years later that we had our first home built. During the construction phase, I remember my Uncle Ernest saying, “you never own a home, the home owns you”.
That has never been more true than now, because here we are 26 years later, preparing to downsize and put our home on the market. We have been spending money like crazy, between the painting, landscaping, basements updates and roof replacement, our home is definitely in the driver’s seat calling the shots!
Our home isn’t in major disrepair, however, we are up against new home construction so there has been much to do and the major expenses thus far has definitely been the roof replacement.
Curb appeal is very important when it comes to showing a home and the roof is like a hat on your head, not only does it have to look good, it also has to protect you from the elements.
Typically, the life of a roof is 15-20 years so at this point it was definitely time to replace the entire roof not just the missing shingles and repair the leaks. When looking for a roofer, there are several considerations to take into account because you want to make sure that work is done by a reputable and reliable contractor and that the job is going to be done cleanly and quickly.

I remember you sharing that saying when I purchased my home, and goodness, you’re not kidding Sis! My house is brand new and I’m already doing repairs. Right now, I have to get my outside windows painted due to the builder using cheap paint. UGH!
